You will need to buy a domain name (I use www.godaddy.com where you can get domain names for as little as $4.95) and a web host. I use Host4Profit for my domains which is easiest and most complete of any online. But you can get a free host like hypermart, but I don't recommend it. You want to look like a serious, professional-type company, having their ads displayed is a sure turn-off. Building trust and confidence are most important features of any web business.

3. If you don't know first thing about creating a website, either learn from all very good tutorials online or hire someone (just do a search on Google for html tutorials or website tutorials). Build site or page with high quality content that isn't just a hyped-up ad.

Side Note: I follow what James Martell does...how can you argue with success. We are talking about a real- honest-to-goodness online phenom who sells pretty much only affiliate products. You can view a nice movie about him, his family and his philosophy of online marketing by clicking here. http://www.ad-alyzer.com/727/marketers_dream AOL Users

4. Promote you web page/site. This is a very large topic that I have covered in many of my newsletters and you can read them here: http://build-an-ebusiness-on-a-shoestring.com/archives.htm AOL Users

But if you create your website according to Martell, you really don't need to do anything else except build a link directory. The search engines will find your site very exciting as it will be quality content laden targeted to your primary keyword.

5. Finally, keep these thoughts in mind. Be first, be creative, be bold and be unique. If you follow these rules, I guarantee you will jump ahead of all 1,000's of affiliates selling same or similar products online.
