Tumblr Lets You Host Your Own Domain For Free

I just got Gary Vaynerchuk’s new book Crush It! and I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m pretty impressed based on my skimming.  One thing that I found out, and I’m immediately trying out is that Tumblr allows you to host your own domain for free if you use the Tumblr CMS.

You still have to purchase the domain ($10-$20) but you don’t have to pay a montly hosting fee.  The platform is incredibly easy to use.  You just click on the type of content you’d like to add (audio, video, etc.) and insert it directly into your post.  Plus you can pull anything else from the web into Tumblr and post it to your own blog.  I’ll be trying it out with my Career Kickstarter blog and I’ll keep updates on how it goes.
