I find that, in practice, the amount of sales you 'lose' from posting a serial and then transitioning it to Kindle Unlimited - especially if you're a new author - is very low. Generally speaking, the people that are reading lots of free serial on websites are the people that don't like spending money in general. And the people that ARE fine with spending money will be more likely to support your work if they have an emotional investment towards it.

Creating your own website isn't a bad idea if you have the expertise, but it's not going to be anywhere near as helpful for a new author as making use of sites that are already popular. I got my start mainly on Spacebattles, but I also posted everywhere I could think of as well. Royal Road, Reddit, Scribblehub, and An Archive of Our Own are just a few examples. The story won't take off everywhere, but that just means you end up focusing on the places that did, which for me ended up being Spacebattles, Royal Road, and Reddit.
