Wix has a free option that I took advantage of about two years ago. I used it to make a website to market solar electric systems. I don't do that any more but my website is still active. I will send you the link by PM so you can see what is possible using a free account.

The only negative is the free domain name has Wix in it, just like its done here with siterubix.

All the best to you.

I have no personal experience of Wix but everything I have read suggests that learning how to use wordpress will be of huge benefit to you in building your online business

Wix? Really? They are minor league compared to the professional platform here at Wealthy Attiliate. They offer zero training on how to make money online.

Are there any good modules on WordPress?

hey hi MV!

Good question and all questions are good ones here!

At this time, the WA platform only hosts WordPress websites ....

All the best to you for every Success, cheerio .. ⭐️😊🎈

I've had a WIX website. They are okay and easy to use, but am pretty sure you can't use them without paying them.

Thanks so much! To be clear, for now I choose the "Other Domains" option you mentioned?

Hi MV. You do not have to transfer it here to WA. If you do, you will have to pay the domain name fee again. So, ideally you transfer it close to renewal data with Google. In the meantime, you just point that domain to the servers here at WA to host a website on your domain. You'll have to login to Google and change the DNS name servers to WA's info. Here's the info: (Located inside Site Domains :)

Other Domains
You can point domains registered outside of Wealthy Affiliate to WA Servers and host your websites. To do this update your domain's DNS at the following nameservers: ns1.mywahosting.com ns2.mywahosting.com

Thank you all for your advice and encouragement. I feel that If this mental rock doesn't budge soon, I may have to suspend my efforts. I feel like going forward without a niche focus, I'm just throwing money into a bonfire.

I have created a website (still evolving, as honorable daughter #1keeps busting my chops :). It is an altruistic site (address in my profile). I don't see that generating any revenue--at least for me. That's okay; I just wanted my first site to be, well, altruistic (Karma, good luck, whatever...).

Turns out (surprises me, as I always liked to think of myself as a fascinating, multi-talented individual) that my interest shortlist is pretty short.

Again, thank you all very much for taking the time. I'll keep pushing at least for another month.

Sincerely

MV

you dont need to feel confident - especially for the first one - just know enough to write some content and find a few affiliate deals.
this way you can concentrate on learning the business model.
don't expect to make the perfect site - it doesn't exist.
as long as the content is readable and educational it can really be about anything.
as jay did, he changed his cooker for an induction one and found that he needed to get new pots and pans - a new niche site setup.
so what have you come up with so far?
