Newbie looking for the right place to start

Start with a reliable hosting company.
Get your domain situated and preferrably a
Wordpress-type site set up.

It doesn't have to be Wordpress, but many
of these hosting services will give you that
ability.

If first spending on hosting costs is not
feasible yet, at least consider a free blogging site.
You'll still be able to apply your SEO knowledge.

All you need to do is register a domain from a site like luckyregister.com or namecheap.com ($8-10) then purchase a hosting account (hostgator) for a penny for the first month. Then you need to upload content to your site. The you will have your own internet property.

Starting a blog and monetising it seems like it would be a good fit for what you are looking for

That's the $64,000 question that everyone wants to know the answer to.

I suggest looking for small niches you can easily dominate, at the start. Don't listen to people who will tell you to jump in to health, wealth and relationships. Newbies who try to compete in super-competitive niches generally become failure stories.

You will find that a lot of the work you do is research. Time to get started. Go to odigger.com and look through recently added products. Get on Clickbank's new product alert list. When you find something that looks promising, go to Google and find out what sites are already there. If the niche is poorly represented, or if you think you can do better than the existing sites, you might be on to something. If the niche is well represented, research the next one.

While you are doing this you will start to get an idea how it all works.

Sometimes you have to be prepared to be bad at something in order to get good at it. Its advice I received from a very clever man I used to know but all too often wimp out and don't realise the potential of an opportunity.

If you aren't willing to give it a go for fear of being dampened by the 'experts' then that is exactly what will happen. Give it a go, launch your blog and see how it goes and if you've been researching marketing then there is a good chance you have compelling ideas to share.

You could even carry out tests and demonstrate how they compared in practice (when this doesn't break the rules such as with Adsense where it isn't allowed.)

If it was good enough then surely some of the members here would show an interest?

I have my blog set up (mainly to mess around and try out different things) for something like $20 pa with 2 domains attached and I am sure you could do it cheaper but I got a recommendation off another forum and haven't been disappointed.

The first question to ask what exactly you want to do, do you want to do blogging of the products or do you want to do just normal blogging and make money from Google Adsense or do you want to start with building email list.

See all the depends on what you want to do.

if you want build list then you need the following things

1. Get your Domain from Godaddy, there is $1 coupon code just search on Goolge you will get it

2. Make up your mind what do you want to promote from these three board category. Business, Health or Lifestyle

3. If you are good in promoting online business product then know that product very well and make a lead capture which you ask for only email address no point for full name.

4. Make a lead capture page with only Email address, put down all the mains points of the product and mention What Your Visitor Will Get If They Provide the Email Address and What Benefit they will Get from Your Lead Capture Page.

5. Join up a Autoresponder Like GVO, Aweber, Rocketresponder and so on. I like GVO one.

6. Start capturing people emails in your Autoresponder

7. Make up some follow up message at lest for 30 days for every 2 days gap between each mail.

8. Promote 3 follow up promotion email first then 3 free information then go like that

9. Split test everything, heading, email, open rate and so on

Actually start it and you will learn it yourself when you begin it, it is little boring in first but when you get results you will enjoy it promoting.

First goal is to get that first subscriber in your Autoresponder, rest you know what to do from there.

If you want to do review based website, than follow this process..

1. Pick up your niche from Business, Health and Lifestyle. Get the converting affiliate product from clickbank or another place where you are comfortable.

2. Buy a good short domain name, short domain name not so important if you get it, it is good.

3. Join with Good Hosting company like GVO

4. Add Wordpress on your domain. Very important one is learn little bit of wordpress like how to install it, how to install plugins and so on

5. Install these plugins. Wordpress SEO, Akismet, Google Analytic and Pretty Links

Wordpress SEO - To make your website properly optimize with Google
Akismet - To block spam comments if you open up blog commenting. I usually disable comment cause no point people commenting on review website, my main focus is to click the affiliate link
Google Analytic - To track how many visitors you are getting on website.

These all plugins you will find out in wordpress itself in feature section when you install it and important one, if you install more plugins, more your website will be slower in loading.

6. Write good quality article and keeping in mind that you are helping your search user if you are totally focusing search engine traffic

7. Make sure you have at least 5 quality content

8. Make sure in your Title of each content keyword is available and it meta description as well.

9. Make sure you pling your website in plinger.com so the search engine will know it faster.

These are few ways to start business online and there are many ways to start business online, it ALL depends on you that from where do you want to START

the reply is too big anyway, but if you read it full then you have will get some basic understanding from where to start

I think I will stop here and not to blombard you with many information, start it and then keep on asking question here and we are ready to help you to succeed

I hope you got your answers

Thanks

get a coach or you will going in circles with the info overload and the rehashed stuff in the im world.
contact me if you need any help

its simple,

read warrior forum, get ideas and implement them.

Most people in here get stuck in here reading, and never get to the ideas and implementation part.

Of those that do take action, it would be about 1% of people reading this, so make sure you are in that 1%

There I made it simple. so what are you still doing in here reading? yes? get ....arse....to....work!

Set up a blog such Wordpress or Blogger and get going.
From the day job you know a lot more than most newbies.

Good luck.

Learn the basics in an organized manor before doing anything and you will save years of floundering and buying courses trying to piece it all together:

1. How to get organized and set goals
2. How set up and run a Home Based business so your taxes are done right
3. How Direct Marketing works
4. Keyword / Niche Research
5. Domain Registration and Hosting
6. HTML or Wordpress (preferably both)
7. Simple graphics design or find a good place to outsource it
8. Copyrighting
9. Legal requirements for your website
10. How to do presentations and screen captures / video marketing
11. How to use the Social Media sites for relationship building and traffic
12. Affiliate Marketing / link shortening / cloaking
13. How to setup a sales funnel (give away, sell something small, OTO's, etc.)
14. Learn your autoresponder, how to structure an opt-in / sales page
15. Learn about the different traffic methods
16. Know what you are good at and how to outsource the rest

OR - you can dabble in promoting others affiliate products from Clickbank, JVZoo, Commission Junction or Amazon.

The important milestones you need to achieve are:

1. Have a method of capturing email addresses in exchange for something of value. to do this you need a domain name, hosting, knowledge of HTML or Wordpress, and an Autoresponder (along with the tools to make your PDF). If you want Affiliate links in your book, you need more of the knowledge above)

2. Once you have the emails, you must have a way to create and provide more valuable content on a regular basis (a Blog, Social Media or emails using your Autoresponder)

3. Sell something (either your own product via another webpage or Affiliate offers)

It may seem crazy to learn all of the things above first, but if you don't you will get only a piece of the knowledge at a time by buying products and trying to put the puzzle together.

One last thing: In order to really learn it, you will need to take massive organized ACTION. When you hit a roadblock, work your way through it and learn what you need to. Don't be tempted to grab the next shinny object looking for something easier.

Hopefully this helps. Design your funnel first and then start creating.

Lots of great advice, but let's try and simplify - don't forget the basics of business...you put a product or service that someone wants badly in front of them and give them every reason to buy.

First step is finding the desire you will target.

Everyone talks about niche markets - to someone starting out that means nothing, but what I have found useful is to think of niches in terms of problems or desires that people have - makes it easier to tackle.

For example, on the front of this forum this morning alone I see some...

1. How to get the first 1000 visitors to your new blog in 3-days or less - people want this badly and will pay if you have the solution
2. How to double the conversion rate of email marketing campaigns - if you can offer a solution, people will buy
3. How you can get a dozen reviews for your ebook in 1-week - again this is a common area that gets many requests and stands in the way of a group of people realizing their goal of launching and making money with their ebook

Same approach can be used in any market - dig into forums, blogs, top magazine articles or books on amazon (asking what question or desire do they target), etc...

It all starts with finding a desire and then constructing a differentiated solution - from there operationalizing your business and marketing kick in, but not before.

Best advice I can give you is to have your own website. When other people have control of your content, that is when you want to run as fast as you can.

When you do get your own website, I would not even focus on SEO because it is a waste of time and you never know when good old Google will slap your website and have all your content GONE from its first 100 pages.

You MUST learn how to market online and never put all your eggs in ONE single basket.

Paid ads also work well and you should learn more about that too.

Get a coach at the beginning to help you make a proper start.
