Totally newbie getting guru !

Having your own website is definitely the way to go.

Almost all of the affiliate programs will require you to host your ebook if you want to sell through them.

You could probably manage without hosting if you used a blogspot blog - then email the ebook as an attachment to people who buy. That's not really a good idea, because people expect an instant download. If you have to email it, you have to remember to keep checking your emails. Not good if you go and stay with family or friends and they don't have internet access.

Go to Namecheap.com and register yourself a domain name. If you don't want to commit much money, buy a .info domain - although I know everybody here will recommend you get a .com domain if you can.

Then head off to a webhost and buy a cheap monthly plan. Hostgator start at $4.95 for hosting a single site. As you get more confident and want more sites you can upgrade to a plan that offers more web space.

Hope some of that helps and good luck.

I think you can set up to do a download from a free wordpress blog. WordPress.com — Get a Free Blog Here register and follow the extensive help on that site.

Hi Cph,

While free spaces like Wordpress and Blogger may help, having your own domain creates a greater degree of perceived professionalism.

Now if you don't have money, then you should learn how you can provide some basic services like writing or link building. Get to know link building methods you can offer, or even better, offer yourself as a virtual assistant to assist other Internet marketers and learn in the process. This will be enough to get your first Internet funds to get a domain and a monthly hosting.

I would definitely recommend getting your own domain and hosting. Rosetrees has pretty much laid down all that you need to do here.

best of luck,

Aira

Great posts guys and girls ! it's great to have such a forum with quick and professionel answers !
I will create my own webspace with a domain name for sure ! What I can hear from ** is that blogging is not giving us an instant DL.

I have a PDF file I want to give people instant download by tomorrow. I'm a newb at creating a site and I know it takes time to make something PRO. I want to take my time and make something pro. No quick solution I guess ...

Do anybody here have experience with Upload n Sell?

great posts

Cph

E-Junkie will host your download. You don't need a separate site.

Now, that said, you should have one. But I do, in fact, have products on E-Junkie that can't be bought anywhere except through a WSO - there's no main sales page or file hosted on my own server; everything is handled through E-Junkie, PayPal, and AWeber.

E-junkie you got it ! I will pay the 5$
Seems like uploadnsell is old fashion ?

anybody know this ?

You don't have to have a website to use ejunkie for product delivery. You can send people a naked payment link

If you are planning to be in this business for some time you definetely need a website like others are saying. It's about your image and a website may as well be a starting point; similar to laying a foundation to erect a structure.

I will create my website even though i'm a newbie ! I heard about
Homestead and wordpress ? What do you prefer ?

When I get better i'm gonna Flippa buy and sell websites. But I might be dead when that time comes ...

You guys are great help

Cph

Personally, I would get my own domain and hosting and site to promote and deliver the product. You can use ejunkie for secure delivery, but if you are selling your own products, you should have a site.
