While I looked for clues I tripped over many goofy ideas like posting links, sending e-mails, answering surveys and yet all of this wasn’t good enough. “I mustn’t work for hours” I kept saying to myself. The whole concept is to create something that lives on by itself with no work but supervision and small add-ons in the future.
I looked at facebook and youtube. What do they have?
You! Me! Us!
They have us, who fill up their content without them bothering what to write. Yet they have created the platform for this. I have no knowledge to create such great sites. I have no time or money either.
What can I make fast with no money and little time?
Blog was the best thing I could think of.I have done a couple of sites before and learned by myself HTML and a PHP just enough to make it look nice. Nothing fancy.I know that I can find lots of free hosts for my site. I went to Google and typed “free web hosting”
The first thing I got was “Yola.com”
“Lets use this” I said. It really doesn’t matter what host you use. Eventually you will move from this host because staying on free hosting isn’t what you want if you want to attract people to your site.
Yola turned out to be a quite good platform for my site – very easy to use. Almost everything is drag-n-drop and a little HTML block for times when I really need to put a code. Of course it doesn’t let you see the style-sheets, simply because you only get to pick the style they offer.
Which is fine for me, since I have no time creating a site from scratch.
Now I have a platform I can use to create and host my blog on the net. Try doing this yourself with Yola.com. or any other free hosting. Don’t bother learning HTML codes and PHP. You won’t become good at it even if you study for a year. You need much more time and effort. So just go with the flow and learn how to use free simple stuff.
See you next time.
