What's up, guys? Welcome to episode seven of the Flip Lifestyle podcast Q&A with S&J, where you get to

ask us questions and get them answered on our podcast. If you have a question for us that you

would like us to answer about your online business or anything else, please leave it on Sunday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time over on our Facebook

page at Facebook.com slash Flip Lifestyle. We will start a post every Sunday night at 8 p.m.

and leave it up for 24 hours where we will take your questions and try to get to them on our

Q&A show. So today's question that we're going to

answer comes from Neil Collins. And Neil writes, what's the best slash easiest way to create a niche

So it's a niche site where we are. Should I use a free blog or self-hosted

WordPress site? And what are some good free themes that I can use if I choose WordPress? All right,

Neil, we really recommend to go self-hosted from the beginning. It's really not very expensive to do.

You can get a domain name for around $11 or $12, depending on what the

domain is. From any domain buying site we use, what is it called? Namecheap.com is where we use.

Just a little note on that. Always buy your own domains. Even if you're having someone else

design your site, you always want control of your own domain names in case something goes south

with a design you

don't want to have to try to get your domain name back always buy your own um that just as an aside
