People often ask me why a person would choose to self-publish their own blog vs. using a format such a Blogger.

There is a very good answer for this.  With a self-published blog like Wordpress, you will own all the rights to your blog and domain name and with Blogger you don’t. 

If your blog is important to you then you need to own the rights to it.  I have heard many horror stories about people spending a year working on their blog only to have the free Blogger randomly cancel their account.

When they try to get it back someone has already snatched up the name and they lose the blog forever.  This can never happen if you have your own hosting account, domain name and a self-published blog of your own.

You can imagine how devastating it would be to lose all of your hard work and perhaps even your entire concept. Don’t let this happen to you!!!  It can easily be avoided.

All you need to do to protect yourself is to find a good solid and dependable web hosting company that offers free Fantastico so that you can easily create and install an unlimited number of self-published blogs and websites all by yourself.

By using Fantastico’s auto installer program you can easily create self-publish blogs in only a couple of minutes.   

I highly recommend Expert Online Hosting.  They offer quality web hosting with Fantastico included with every plan and all for less than $5.00 a month.  You can create and publish an unlimited number of self-published blogs, mail list, forums, guest book etc. for this one low price. 

Expert Online Hosting even offers free web hosting for the first 30 days so that you can try everything out risk free.

Also, be sure to check out my free video lessons that will teach you how to set everything up.  You can follow along and watch me do everything.  You’ll get an over-the-shoulder view as I create and publish this site, the Webit Geek blog from start to finish.  It’s really quite easy to do.

Hello,

The new video series “How To Make Your Webit Work” actually allows you to watch over my shoulder as I build and set up a fully customized self-published website and blog.

 You can easily follow my lead and build one too!

You might remember last month I showed you my awstats report for Webit Geek after the first 15 days since the sites first launch. 

Just thought you might like to see how the first thirty days turned out.

I’m showing you what no one ever does in order to share my results in order for you to see if your site could work better.

If you are getting results like this or even better, then you probally don’t need the first 15 Webit Geek lessons.  Please contact me however if you are doing better because I’m always looking to improve too.  For the rest of you, consider taking the lessons to learn how to make your web-it work better. You can find the first lesson here.

These are not rock star blown out of proportion results but rather a nice solid 30 day start with steady growth and real readers spending time using and reading the site. All my thanks for that!
