True education is the slow realization of how much you don’t know. I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I can tell you how to get started. Although I'm still learning myself, I am a retired information systems professional which means I have 20 years of IT experience and have the time to research this material. The information in the public area is free. I have tried or am using all that I recommend. Are they a good fit for you? That depends on what you want and how much you intend to spend. These pages are meant to keep your startup costs down.
First - you will need a web site. It is quite easy and inexpensive to get a site up and running.
If you already have a web site built or plan to build your own, the link at the left will take you to an inexpensive and reliable host that I use. StartLogic is the best in my opinion, $3.95 a month (PersonalLogic package), free set up, $8.95 (per year) domain name registration. You can easily build your own website with WYSIWYG Web Builder.
Host4Profit has a good package which includes everything you need to get your site up and running. They also include tools to promote your business. The charge is $24.95 per month to host your site and an additional $15.00 one time setup fee to register your domain (web site) name. So for about $40.00 you can have your own prebuilt web site!
Comment: Although a tool is provided to create your web pages, I found it cumbersome.
WYSIWYG Web Builder is much easier to use. It's completely drag and drop, you don't need to code anything. The software is intuitive and the help is excellent. They offer a 30 day free trial and the software is fully functional. If you wish to buy, it is a very reasonable $39.95. Go to my download page and grab the free template of this site if you like or choose from Pablo's many free templates Here. Also download my free publishing setup instructions.

Starting a Web Business, Clean and simple ...

Second - you will need a product. Affiliate promotion is the product of this site. This simply means that large internet companies are willing to pay you a commission for sales. You can click these links to sign up as an affiliate for Host4Profit (You make $10.00 each referral), Leisure Audio Books , Nitro Affiliates , ClickBank , ClixGalore and LinkShare.
The last five are free to join and they represent 100s of retailers and marketing experts. Choose the ones you like. You can sign up with me for free also.
All sites listed here have been tested and are legitimate. Be careful not to sign up for anything where it costs a lot to maintain your status. For instance, I belonged to one affiliate network that cost about $30 a month to maintain a ranking and was receiving an $8 paycheck. Not a good deal in my book.
Another good product is information. Consider becoming a member and gain access to a library of information, ebooks, articles, software and tools. Many are rebrandable with your own links etc. Click Here to learn more.
Third - you need to generate traffic to your site. There in lies (as the British call it) "the sticky wicket". There are literally millions of web sites out there. Host4Profit has tools to help, like submitting your site to internet search engines. The "catch 22" is you can't make money unless you're seen and you can't be seen unless people know about you. I've seen packages guaranteeing visibility for as much as $695.00. Too much for me.
If you want some serious targeted traffic at a very reasonable price, try Better-web-site-Traffic. They are the best I've found and they have an affiliate program that is free to join.
Another good way to generate traffic is with a banner exchange. See example below from Link Buddies (free to join). You can use their facility to create your banner(s) or see FAQ for more.

The banner to the left will take you to EngineSeeker.com an inexpensive promoter that I also use. You can submit your site to search engines, see your traffic, where it's coming from and what pages are looked at. They have a lot of good tools in their arsenal, such as "Top Ten Listing" which guarantees positions in over 260 search engines (Not Pay-Per-Click) and targets your audience by keyword(s). They also have an affiliate program which is free to join.
Traffic Digger and Hits2u are also free to join.
AdlandPro will submit your site to over 80,000 directories. Just fill in the form. Your email address is required so that you can confirm the order.
Emails are an effective marketing method and can generate massive amounts
of traffic. Safe Mail Services (banner to the left) offers a lifetime membership for a one time charge of $34.95. You can send out one ad per day.
Keep your mind open to new ideas. Read a lot (you can start with my free e-books on the download page) but don't believe everything you see. Beware of high pressure sales tactics. They are just trying to hook you before you have a chance to think. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. There are many scams out there.
This will take some time so be persistent. Use your profits to promote your site. That way, your other half won't yell too much.
Best of luck.
Regards
