How do you get your own infoproduct online, collect cash from orders 24-hours a day 7-days a week while you're not even paying attention?

Having assisted many people with their online marketing efforts - and having setup several online marketing sites myself, I know that at first, it can be a mystery.

How do you create your own website? How do you take payment? What do you use to capture and build your own list. How do you signup and track affiliates who can bring in many sales for you?

Here's information you will not find in any eBook, interview or course - and best of all, its free.

Step 1. Finding a Webhost

You will need to pay a webhosting company to give you space and features you'll need to upload your web page(s) so that people will see it and place orders.

There are thousands of webhosts out there - I've tried many and my recommendation is this webhost: http://www.infoproductcreator.com/part hirdsphere

You get up to 500Mb of space (lots for most websites), terrific features such as cgi, Perl, simple configuration tool and statistics as well as ability to setup additional domains for only $10 each.

Step2. Developing Your Website

Once again - you have many choices of HTML editors - or programs you use to actually code your webpage.

Relax! It's not as tough as it seems.

If you don't know ANYTHING about HTML - you should learn basics. Even if you get someone else to build your website, you should know basics of HTML so that you can a) get a fair price for your work, b) communicate what you want to your web designer and c) make changes to your pages as time goes on.

Here's a great site for learning basics of HTML at no-charge.

Here's a few tips for building your product website:

1. Keep it simple, and all on one page. Sometimes called a minisite - it's been proven again and again that your product page should be a single page with a headline, subheadings, lots of benefits, a strong offer and order link.

2. Go easy on graphics. Numerous tests have shown that a strong headline and strong copy will outsell fancy graphics anyday.

3. Your order page should be a well-written, targeted sales page. As with any profit-producing sales letter - focus must be on benefits. Produce your sales letter in MS Word first, then simply convert it to HTML.

4. Other than your main sales page, you will need pages that will...

1. Present articles you write online 2. Sell your newsletter or follow up list 3. A thank you page after your customer places an order 4. An opt-in page containing a form from your autoresponder that sells your visitor on signing up to your newsletter, minicourse or update list. 5. A thank you page for opt-in list singups. 6. An information and terms page on signing up affiliates or partners. 6. A tools page where you help your partners and affiliates make money with pre-written ads, letters, signature files, and training.

I know - all of this can get overwhelming! Don't be scared off, just pick off one item at a time and use existing successful websites out there as examples. You cannot steal content word-for-word, but you can definitely be influenced by how others have done it.

Step 3. How Do I take Orders?

Funny thing internet, it's radically altered whole payment processing industry -now you have online payment processors and merchant accounts that allow you to collect money - in an automated fashion, from your customers.

So how do these guys charge for their service?

Each one will have a combination of...

1. Up-front signup fee. Fee you will need to pay just to get an account setup - ranges from next to nothing with Paypal to several hundred dollars. You should plan for $50-$80
