  Hi,

  My question, can I monetize a third party domain, for example Go Daddy, on wordpress and still get monetized?

  Please help
  Thank You.

  Hi,

  By monetizing, do you mean ad revenue, merchandising, or something else entirely? Regardless, the answer to all these questions is yes; the hosting service for your domain name should not affect your content.

  A few useful services you might want to look into:
  Jetpack is a marketing and security suite that integrates with WordPress sites, and has features for entrepreneurs of all levels: https://jetpack.com/features/
  and if you’re looking to start a storefront, you might want to look into WooCommerce: https://woocommerce.com/features/

  Best of luck!

  Hi there,

  What exactly are you trying to do?

  If you want to use a domain you bought from GoDaddy with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need a paid plan to connect it, and then you can apply to our WordAds program to monetize your site.

  Monetize Your Site

  If you are using that domain with a self-hosted site hosted with GoDaddy, you can also use WordAds, but that will require the Jetpack plugin along with a Jetpack Premium or Professional plan.
