I want to set up something online. (I'm completely new)

    As the titled stated, I'm completely new to this, and need alot of advice on this. Basically this is what I want to do:

    I would like to set up a website (register domain, set it all up, the normal thing) and I want to earn from it.
    From the hours of reading and research I noticed that a good start would be to do this via affiliate programs such as clickback.

    So, look at me as a person starting from scratch, zero.. what do I do?


    I want to thank anyone that would like to help me out on this.


    Greetings.

    First thing I would do is go to godaddy.com and search for a real good domain name. you can enter a key word and they will give you suggestions of domain name and also if they are available, or you can check and see if they have something that you want also. you can get the hosting from them also.
    A Domain name is the most important. Then sign up with google adsense
    and then start posting for links after your site has went on line. This will take some time to build, but it will pay off in a few months.

    hope this helps

    Build your own site or hire someone from Rentacoder.com if you have $$.

    If you have already done some research, then this is how I would start

    1.) Decide what products or services you are going to affiliate yourself with.

    2.) Layout a plan of how you are going to market these products/services online. (research how others are marketing these very same products or services and do it better - be creative)

    3.) Choose a domain name

    4.) Find some reliable and affordable hosting

    5.) Put together your website (hire a designer, design yourself..whatever)

    6.) Implement your plan, learn as you go along, stay active in forums such as this and ask lots of questions.

    7.) Never give up

    What you need to do is make sure your domain name is good and will be good at BRANDING your site. That is KEY! To any start of a website you also want to work with something you enjoy because that will help alot more if you have passion in your work.

    Welcome to the world of webmastering (and digitalpoint). These guys basically covered it all. Do you have any idea what kind of site you'd like to start up?

    You mentioned starting out with clickbank. From my experience I have noticed that Google Adsense is a lot easier to make a return on, so you might want to go with that.

    think for yourself. Don't believe everything you read. Earn more than you spend.

    Yes affiliates are good. Less design work, less maintenance and can be put on auto pilot.

    Blog buy domain + hosting

    Use wordpress

    If you have a great ideea try hiring freelancers to make it bether (getafreelancer is a good option)

    NOTE : Nothing is easy and you must invest time and monery and give time so you make or even get your money spend in a good time

    Make a site about your intrests afther you learn the roaps you can start making sites on other topics
