The ideal circumstance is when you find a linking partner with complementary/relational approach built into his sales program and layout structure of his website. Meaning: Location, location, location!

Without above approach, many possibilities to garner extra income from your Net venture will not take flight! The above paragraph should have even more meaning when you consider fast-approaching age of general broadband use. It is coming sooner than what anybody imagines; spelling out end of many text only websites.

For all good reasons you should strive to create complementary/relational linking with as many partners as merited. Build your website to give them as much exposure as you can. All bells and whistles! Provide ample space and graphics for them, trade full page articles and resources! Very important: Have them do same for your business!

In closing I will exhort you to embrace multimedia and broadband revolution as a principle of self preservation. The folks that take all their resources and put them in a text only links page will suffer twists and turns of not-so-kind near future!

4) PAYMENT SYSTEMS:

Well, this is just a no-brainer. It is just too simple not to do this one.

Having an automated payment system that allows you to accept credit card payments for your products or services and is something that everyone has to have to be successful online.

Here are a couple of third-party ones that I use and recommend:

ClickBank-- http://www.ClickBank.com/ PayPal-- http://www.PayPal.com/

5) AD TRACKING SYSTEM:

If you are going to advertise your products and/or services online, then it is critical that you track your results.

Knowing how many hits you got to your site is nice, but it won't take care of your questions like, "Where did my traffic and sales come from?"

Here are some ad tracking systems. (Some offer free versions.)

Implementing these five time-saving helpers is a very important benchmark in moving your business into a phase that will free up some time to insure your success online.

Best of luck with your promotional efforts.
