Good for you! This is an important first step to financial independence. You probably are an optimist and you are excited to see results that are to come. But it won’t be long and you are second guessing yourself as to whether it will really be paying off. If you are like me, that first sign-up gets you all excited and you are checking commission earned tab many times before it actually started to show a profit.

What if organization you signed up with, actually starts to cut you checks?

This will be one of most exciting days you will ever experience. The first checks should be savored and a photocopy should be made to remind you what it felt like. Soon however you realize that income stream is smaller then you anticipated and it takes much longer and more work before you reach your goals. Don’t give up because first steps are hardest!

What if you decide to sign up for a second affiliate to speed up process of financial independence?

Good for you! This is a wise move. If one program can earn you some money, then two should double your chances,…… right? But just a minute, work is starting to pile up too. All those e-mails that need to be checked and responded to; many passwords you need to remember;……..and not least of all different fees that need to be paid to receive right tools. Don’t despair, you are on right path. Did you know that most on-line entrepreneurs are involved with an average of 4 different programs? The successful ones are into as many as hundreds. The problem is that you have only so many hours in day to work on these projects. You still have a full-time job. Your income stream is still just a trickle. Most of really successful on-line entrepreneurs have hired help or a spouse that dedicated his/her life to business. You don’t…..your spouse still thinks you’re nuts.

What if you are starting to realize that to earn a fulltime wage requires fulltime hours.

This, I found, was my moment of utter confusion. And my first thought was – “What have I gotten myself into!?” I realized I needed following questions answered before I could even begin my on-line journey. What do I need in a web host, what is a web host, what is a domain name and – you mean, I have to pay for a domain name as well?

What is a Domain?

A domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. Thus, if you want to do any on-line marketing you need a unique name to identify your business – and definitely a name that identifies or relates to that of your on-line presence.

Do I really need a domain name? Yes. Why? There are several good reasons:

1.It projects a professional image 2.It’s mobile – you can change web hosts and your domain name goes with you. 3.It takes time and hard work to build your affiliate business – if you don’t have your own name and you want to move to a different web host – all is lost because domain name is not mobile.

There are many sites that offer a domain name service at a reasonable price. You can go to my site at www.myaffiliateplace.biz and look under Affiliate Information – here you can get an idea how much a domain name costs.
