Ok then, now what?

First, realize that successful businesses start with successful planning. You can't just hop around blindly and expect things to happen for you. You have to search out information, tools, and promotional ideas you're going to need, and gather them all up. You have to make some initial decisions, set up a marketing plan, and continue with further education.

THE BASICS

Depending on how long you've been on Internet, you may or may not need to go through these initial steps. However, you can't simply skip them. This is foundation for your organization. Take a look at following categories and relate them to your own needs. These are all important steps that will set a sound foundation for your success.

Email -- How many accounts do you need? Do you want to separate personal, business, ezine, and advertising emails, or just sort them out daily in one account?

Web Hosting -- Are you going to rely solely on your affiliate web sites, or do you need your own site for promoting groups of programs, or an ezine, or e-books?

Domain Name -- If you are going to get your own site, do you have a good domain name picked out, one that will reflect your business, and be unique among others? Have you checked to see if your chosen name is available?

Web Design -- Are your going to design your own web site, or pay to have it done? Do you have an html editor? Do you need to learn more about html?

Auto Responders -- Do you need an auto responder? If so, how many? Where can you get them?

Affiliate Programs -- Do you want multiple programs to bring you income, or do you want to just focus on one or two? Do you want different programs to relate together, or cover separate markets?
