For anyone who is totally new at this, I strongly suggest you go and sign up for the  training. It is going to show you step by step what needs to be done, but if you would rather read it here, I will try to keep it as organized as possible.

You do not actually have to have software to have a website, you see, Hostgator has “Fantasitico” and it will let you put wordpress on your blog for free. It also has website templates which I have not used yet. When I first started, I bought “build a niche store” but it only promotes ebay partner network and they are not accepting new affililates.

You will need hosting, and I pay for mine at hostgator.com because I can host unlimited sites for $10 a month.

I also pay for my training $30/month and I pay for some miscellaneous costs such as places to post my ads at. But other than that. That is it.

If you take it easy and go through your lessons slowly, you will probably skip a huge learning curve that I had to go through.
