Money don't come easy these days so we need to be careful in spending it. As much as possible try to spend less and get much in return. This is true in Affiliate Marketing and earning from Blogs.
All of us are new in this kind of business and there are so much to learn, so spend on what is needed just for starters and understand how the system works. Later on you can spend as much as you want from your own earnings.
Let's start the process.
#1. Decide on what kind of website you want. Will I start an online shop, and use Affiliate Marketing? Will I start with a Blog site, so you can start sharing my ideas and interest through blogs? or a combination of both? It is important to start with 1 (one) that you like most and not with what you think is going to bring you more income. We are still in the "learning process" and the more you learn the better you can respond on what type of changes you need to earn more.
#2. Decide if you are serious in making money. If you want to make money you need to invest a little to make more. What you need to buy? Is your own domain. It is from $8.99 to 14.95 per year (price varies depending on the customer support provided) . Why do you need this? If you chose to have your own blogsite you need to own a domain like www.yourdomain.com. (or e.g. www.hop2shop.net) So in the future when you want to go big on marketing you already have your brand and your visitors will stick to that brand.
#3. You need to host your purchased domain. This is where you will build your website and store your web pages. You can start with a free hosting and email package from Google sites which I am using. You just need to change a few setting on your Domain and it will be linked to Google Sites.Get you domain name from NetFirms.com and get Google Apps installed automatically. Just follow the link to avail of a good discount. #4. Now you are ready to build your Site. I'll be posting Guides on How to build your Website Using Google Apps and a few tips in setting up your domains. See you in the next post.
Note:
- If you already have a solid idea on what you want for your online business and wanted to have a professional e-store or professional blog you can get your domain and web hosting from the links below to avail of a good discount.
- If you want to have a blog site and don't want to buy your own domain and hosting you can subscribe to www.blogspot.com. and avail of their free blog spaces. You can earn from Bidvertiser or other pay-per-click adverts also.
Take your time to read more about the online business you want to establish before you decide on what type of website to build.
One thing to remember, earning from affiliate marketing or blogs is not a quick get rich scheme. It is like planting a seed, it takes time and nourishment to be able to grow and bear fruit. And once it bears fruit rest assured that harvesting will be an easy monthly paycheck that will grow more as time passes by. At that time, you probably have learned a lot on how to manage your site and earn well from it.
