Sorry for the snide title, but you get what you pay for in life and the " How to create your own website for free" mentality really holds true for website design and development.
The truth is you can get great quality web presence without spending much at all, not free, but pretty darn cheap.
Inexpensive Hosting - Not Free Hosting
Free hosting is limited, unreliable and not very secure.
So...if your going to create a website/websites and put your valuable time and energy into writing content you need to set up a real hosting account. Preferably you should seek a hosting account that allows multiple domains on one account. That way your only billed monthly for 1 hosting account but can have as many web sites as you need.
Many adsense publishers will have 10,20, or even 100 or more domains on one account. The revenue generated by the adsense ads easily justifies the $3.99 per month of the lone hosting account.
Learn to Edit HTML Templates - Cmon... You can Do It!
If you really want to save money and keep with the " How to create your own website for free"
Mentality, you should learn to add content to basic pre-developed HTML/CSS web templates.
The advantage of this is you don't have to design or develop the website at all, all that has been done in advance. You will be adding your own content, links, images and adsense code into a template, probably similar to note pad. Most are free!
Most of these real templates beat WYSIWYG type editors because the code provided is much lighter and easier for search engines to spider and index. Better SEO.
For example adsense websites are not about fancy design, they're about good layout and compelling content. You can take one HTML/CSS template and slightly modify a few elements and create hundreds of websites.
So why not spend some time learning some very basic HTML - believe me once you get past looking at the code and are used to the basic tags publishing pages is a piece of cake.
It's easy, and can be very profitable...once you know how.
