Super-Newbie needs advice
I am in the process of starting my internet business. I was hoping to get some feedback on my basic plan, and I'd greatly appreciate any other bits of wisdom you have to offer.
My plan is to start a blog in a niche that I have some authority in (health/fitness). I have begun writing an ebook to give away to begin building a list. Of course, the ebook will contain some affiliate links, but I don't want to overload it.
I've also been writing on hubpages. I've published a few hubs on my niche topic and I've received some good feedback. In time, I plan on applying for an adsense account through hubpages.
I know this is not the most original approach, and I am not looking to make 1000's overnight. My immediate goal is to learn by doing.
I have a few questions:
* What is the most effective way to drive traffic to the blog/ebook? My plan is to do lot of posting on forums. But is there a more effective way to jump start my traffic?
* Does Twitter have a place here? If so, what is the best way to get enough followers? I've heard of people buying twitter followers - is this effective?
* I plan on using Hostgator for hosting. They have a business plan for about 10/month. However, I've been taking a hard look at sitebuildit. I have never built a website or blog and my technical skills are almost nonexistent.
* One of the products I am considering promoting is a clickbank ebook. It is a book that I've purchased and it is top-notch. I would have no reservations about encourging people to buy it, but my concern is that the author/publisher doesn't pay for leads. If someone goes to the sales page and subscribes to his list, and doesn't buy the book right away, do I still get paid?
Thats all for now. Thank you in advance for your help!
