There are probably more places to host your content for free these days on the internet than there are paid hosts. Between the free sites and the social networks where you can have a profile and maybe a page or even a blog, there are many people saying “Why should I host on my own domain?”. And there are just as many people saying “Why would I want to drive people to xxx instead of to my own site?”. In this episode of Affiliate ABCs your hosts Deborah Carney (a.k.a Loxly) and Vinny a.k.a NYFalcon address these questions and tell you how to use your own hosted website as a homebase and all those “other places” as traffic cops to get the traffic safely to your home.
And remember, you want to own your own content, you don’t want to give it away to another company and you certainly don’t want to worry about being censored or your content “disappearing”.
Let us know if you have any questions, post them here or follow us on Twitter and drop them there:

One of the beautiful things about Twitter is that you can follow a conversation using Twitter Search or just by clicking on people’s names. You can read them without following them, and even @ reply to them without following them.
