No pain no gain. People often say so. Or, we can interpret it as “No money no gain.” Yeah, you can say so. Even in Sankrit, we have “Jer Basuki Mawa Bea”, meaning “to gain success, you pay some fee”.
However, to some extent, this is slightly wrong. We can say that it is no longer a necessity today to pay “lots” of money to gain something. We do need to pay, but not a lot of money. Let’s take an example from website building now. Thanks to advertisement, the core of capitalism, we can learn to manage a website (whether mainstream media or blog) without paying a lot of money. Due to the sponsorship that WordPress and Blogger receive, we can blog for free. We do need to pay, but not a lot of money: only for internet connection and electricity, right?
In terms of mainstream media website (or you may call static website), we can also find some services that might help us learn. We can go to Geocities if we want to. But, if you don’t like the advertisement on the right side, you can go to www.000webhost.com. Here, you can learn a great deal about website building, maintaining, and managing. Here, you have a free 250 Mb hosting that you can use with your own domain or free domains from them. It was here that I learn to manage my website from scratch. It is cool that they have provided site softwares which include raw static website templates that you can modify or blog CMSes, such as, WordPress or B2evolution.
With the help of search engines, you can find www.000webhost.com a cool training center for wanna-be webmasters. Forward this post to any friends who are clueless of webmastering but have great interest, let them prove what I’ve just said. You’ll see how you gain without too much pain. Btw, I’m trying to prove it myself.
