But eventhough the domain and sub-domain are not the same, you can still link them together. Just because this steps is much more common, so most people want to have their "Domain" name the same as "Sub-Domain" name as mentioned. This is why you wanna check the availability of your domain at GoDaddy in order to make sure the name was not taken or bought by others yet.

Then, no more payment until the next year, because everyone need to renew their Domain yearly in order to own a money making website, Yahoooo~they are so cheap, just £0.99 and GoDaddy will help to remind you in your email, so hassle-free.

Yes, definitely you can. The business model in blogging is not to just depending on Adsense. Most people would just depends on Adsense to earn money because that is the simplest and easiest way. The successful Blogger often mentioned, diversify, diversify, and diversify. Never rely your income source in one basket. Reason being that is, you never know what Adsense will do to reject your monetization or demonetize your blog due to new added policies the next day. Since Adsense is Google's largest business earning, they want their Advertisers to stay satisfied with what website their Advertisement are going to shown at, if you website is not family friendly, I can't really say what they gonna implement in their system to correct your website's rank, or new ways around.

Simple to say, never rely your income from 1 source only, especially for those who make full-time income relying on 1 income source of Adsense only. Since Adsense can brings significant amount of incomes or earning, but can also place you in Zero Zone the next day. To mitigate this, the huge secret based on most Expert Blogger such as "Income School", they have way more than 1 income source and have way more than 1 websites, they obtain at-least 5 website, or more, which they still consider that was minimum.
