Today I want to share with you how to build a website free, step by step. Before you start the process, please take a moment and think about your theme (niche); what your website is going to be about.
The process of making money online is broken down into the following 4 steps.
1. You choose an area of interest (niche)
2. You build a website
3. Get traffic (visitors) to your website
4. Find an affiliate program and earn money
As you can see, choosing a niche comes before building a website. Without a niche, your website is going to lose the focus and would not attract many visitors. A niche can be anything that you are interested in or passionate about.
In this particular post, I am going to pick one example niche and show you how to make a website online free. My niche is going to be; Gluten Free Diet
Now that I chose my niche, I am going to a place that helps me to build a website free. My recommendation is SiteRubix.com. It provides you two free WordPress websites with free hosting. Yes, 100% free. If you are a complete beginner in the online world like I was, I highly recommend SiteRubix. It was so easy and quick to create my own website free, and I will show you exactly how you can do the same. Ok, let’s get started, shall we?
How to Build a Website Free, Step by Step
1. Go to SiteRubix.com. Pick a domain name (website name) that represents your niche.
2. My niche is gluten free diet, right? So I want to include the words “Gluten Free Diet” in my domain name. In the space provided, I typed “glutenfreediet.” Oops… The name has been taken by someone already. I need to come up with something else!
3. I decided to add my name, “yukos” at the beginning of the domain name and typed “yukosglutenfreediet.” Yay! It is available 🙂 I am going to use this as my domain name. Now, click on “Build My Free Website.”
4. Now you will see the pop-up as below. This is the special part of SiteRubix. It comes with a free membership and free get started courses at a community called “Wealthy Affiliate.” As a beginner, once you have built a website you will need support on how to actually run it. I once created a good-looking website on my own through a YouTube tutorial video. It took me months, but I was very proud of my accomplishment. However, the website didn’t get visitors and I didn’t understand why. I felt lost, and WordPress didn’t teach me anything about traffic.
Trust me on this. You will need help for your online success. For more details, you can read my review on Wealthy Affiliate. Now, let’s continue on with building the website. Fill in the information and click on “Create Account & Continue.”
5. Now you are at “Step 2” of this page. Here, you are going to give a name to your website. I named it “Yuko’s Gluten Free Diet.”
6. Choose a theme (look) of your website. As a free member, you can pick whatever a look you like from 20 different options. Click on “I’m Ready, Build My Website Now!” and wait for a few seconds!
7. Ta-da! Here is my new website “Yuko’s Gluten Free Diet” up and running already. From here, what I have to do is to start writing contents (articles) and post them on this website 🙂
Quite simple and quick, wasn’t it? It took me less than a minute to create this website.
You can do the same as I did, using SiteRubix.com. After all, it is free and you have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

I should have learnt about your site a long time ago. I would not have wasted my time on google’s blogger. I have lost about 3 different sites to blogger just because they changed their terms of conditions. I am glad I found your recommendation Thanks alot “yukos”
Hi Emmanuel,
I am sorry that you lost 3 websites. 🙁 You must have put a lot of work into them. I hope you could at least retrieve the contents of your websites and safely move them somewhere else?
Did Blogger offer you any help with the issue? I recently had a disappointing experience with HostGator. You can read about it here.
I am more convinced nowadays that a real support is a must for our success online. Wishing you every success and thank you for stopping by!

I started with siterubix a month ago! I am still working with one website, to see how far I can go. But I am getting traffic, so I’m a pretty happy camper. The support behind wealthy affiliate is really great, they answer your questions, and are really helpful!
Hi Nelly,
It’s great that you started out only a month ago and are getting traffic to your website. Congrats!!
Having support really changes the outcome, doesn’t it? I am feeling very fortunate to be part of Wealthy Affiliate community. Thank you for stopping by and best of luck with your future endeavour!

Hi Yuko!
Wow this is great guide, so beautiful! I should have found your website a long time ago, you made it look so easy! I spent months trying to find a good blogging platform, bookmarking your site now so that I won’t miss a thing. Do keep updating fresh posts, I’m eager to read more 😀
Hi Riaz,
Thank you! I am quite visual and honestly, I wish someone presented the process like this when I first started out! Same here Riaz, I struggled months trying to figure this out on my own. It was just so frustrating. With the supports I receive at Wealthy Affiliate, I am very comfortable and confident to proceed. Thank you for dropping by and I’ll see you around 🙂

Great use of images to explain the web building process! By taking the reader step by step through your process of creating a new website, you’re demonstrating that it’s quite an easy thing to do, and not at all intimidating. I was scared of building a website when I first started out, and was convinced I’d do something wrong and break it. But with step by step guidance at Wealthy Affiliate, my website is improving daily.
Hi SC,
Thank you for your positive comment! I was just like you when I first tried to build a website. As I tried to do it all by myself via a YouTube video, one click to next step felt fearful! I really wish that I knew Wealthy Affiliate back then. I think I struggled all by myself for three months or so before I finally found Wealthy Affiliate. You and I are now in good hands 🙂 Wishing you every success!
Yuko
