A file is anything that you have in a file other than www.yourselectedname.com with same server. Example; www.yourselectedname.com/yournamedfile

A WYSIWYG (WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET ) editor, is helpful and is sometimes supplied by your host. All this means is that you can make a webpage in same way that I initially typed/created this document in Microsoft Word. That is to say, font, colour, spacing, paragraphs, indents, caps, etc, are as you see them ( without html tags or other coding ). Anyways, you can get such an editor from other sources, if your host doesn't supply them (search engine, again ). Free html editors are widespread and some knowledge of this is worth effort.

You can buy your own products with re-selling rights, meaning that after initial cost, all of profits are yours. Digital products are simplest as they are deliverable via internet (downloadable to purchaser, almost instantly ). In some countries, electronically deliverable product are tax exempt. These products include e-books, main advantage being their deliverability, both from seller and buyers point of view. These are normally in PDF format due to its cross-platform compatibility ( viewable on Macs and Windows ). The software for creating e-books is widely available, again, some having more security features than others. A virtual book cover to display on your site is easily done and customisable. If you have a topic/report/information of widespread appeal, you are more than half way there. An affiliate program can be set up to sell for you. One particular company will even track your affiliate sales. In my opinion, this is cheaper that POD (printing on demand), but perhaps lacks traditional literature appeal. Indeed, both are relatively new concepts and both concepts are good.

Selling any of above "editors", or indeed creating them, if you have experience in that area is done via a website. An affiliate program will boost any sales if your product is "saleable", and of reasonable value. Imagine it, you might have been through a war, tragedy, illness, abduction by aliens, non abduction by aliens, or just about anything, and people will want to know about it. You are not over hill, if your memory or imagination is relatively intact. Neither are you below hill if you are young, assuming you possess one of aforementioned attributes, let alone, two. You no longer need to belong to an exclusive or traditionally "tight" club to gain exposure. A website is REAL MAGIC. P.S. A platform such as this website is invaluable.

Only your imagination can stop you now.

Though, above examples may seem ridiculous, it is easily possible with auto responder technology. If it was set-up, this text could be sent to million of people, or indeed martians, who sent an e-mail to (eg. instantgratification@autorespondername ). The potential is boundless.

The loaded info. can include hyperlinks to something else, like a webpage, which can dramatically reduce amount of text, included in info., unless selected/clicked by recipient, thereby not overwhelming or confusing, such a recipient. Follow-up messages can be arranged for specific intervals, between them, and for an unlimited period of time. Addresses of other autoresponders can be included in any or all of these messages, which is beneficial to owner/business manager, with respect to time.

Some are free, others are not, and features/options vary. It is my personal opinion that any of them are better than none, and life is easier/more efficient, since their inception. On first sight, some seem daunting or difficult to use, but are worth effort, if you can see their time-saving potential.
