    Hi,, The first investment to make when starting an oline business is to buy a domain name and hosting account ...

    don't jump at all these one click button make money quick software.... you don't need a software to make money online as an affiliate... you just need to be shown the right direction and if i may give you a personal recommendation on where to start i think you should chose a good niche to promote stick to one or two and avoid to be distracted... you can buy two domains (one generic and the other as yourname.com to brand yourself...) if you need more details on these steps an clarification to this reply do not hesitate to PM me or mail at vickydurel at gmail dot com

      I would not buy a domain and hosting until you know what you are trying to sell. Find some training preferably free training first. Sign up for some email lists in return for free training material. They will fill your email box and consume your time. Decide on one option and dedicate your efforts to that one option until it is profitable.

      Be careful, before you know it your $200 will be gone and you may have very little to show for it.

    Just spend some money on buying hosting and domain. After this you just need to spend some time. As soon as you start getting traffic, you can further decide to spend money on advertising.

    first you need to create a good website and try to get more traffic by doing seo, after some time you can add adsense account on that site and get revenue

    $200 wont really get you anywhere. I suggest getting your domains and hosting started up and then just start making posts for a while and using social platforms to get traffic.

    You can get market samurai to do research on keywords you should use, but besides that, $200 wont really get you that far.

    I started out with a low budget as well and got senuke right off the bat and realized it was a waste of money, as I hadn't even works on my sites enough yet.

    I suggest you first evaluate yourself and decide what it is you love doing most.

    Once you identify this, get yourself to working on a website (an information site would be cool) where you discuss the same things you love doing. Check out SBI from SiteSell. It might be helpful when you are creating this kind of a website. You can purchase it for only $29.99/month and this includes a domain, which they will register for free for you, hosting, an autoresponder, wordtracker credits for research, a brainstomer software, keyword analysing platform with video and article tutorials...and a lot of other stuff there in. They really support you.

    Anyway, I sound like a sales pitch

    Now, simply work on your site and invite friends to join in your discussions and before you know it, you will be making a good long term income.

      Welcome to IM world.

      I would suggest you to keep that $200 safe for the time being.

      1. Create a free blog (wordpress.com, blogger.com etc)
      2. Install & configure themes
      3. Start creating contents
      4. Practice backlinkings, keyword research
      5. spend some time reading through this forum (i know it sucks to hear this, but trust me this forum is Gold)
      6. Once you are bit clear on all these apsects then its time to buy a suitable domain (preferable .com, .net or .org), get a hosting (i would suggest hostgator), a decent theme and off you go..

      Best of luck for your ventures.

      Cheers,
      Vincent

    Save your money for now and LEARN first. Otherwise, you will probably screw up your money.

    Hosting should be your only investement for now.

        $200 can get you places if you know what to do.

        It can even become $1000 within a month.

        First find an opportunity that is sure to convert with comprehensive training.

        Since you are starting you may keep it simple.

        You can use article marketing to promote the offer.

        Simply go to warrior for hire and find a good article writers. You can have good articles written for $6 a piece. Make sure they are at least 600 words long. 10 articles should do. Check renaisanceman

        Create a blog (or better still have it outsourced) and submit the articles to it first.

        Afterwards a day or two, now submit to ezinearticles.com, warriorforum articles forum and other articles directory.

        Ensure you have a good signature that will have a reasonable clickthru rate to your blog.
        Your call to action should not be too overpromotional so that webmasters will be willing to republish your articles on their websites, blogs and send to their ezine list. Ensure you name is in the sig.

        10 articles will cost you $60. 600 word articles are good as it increases the potential of being syndicated by others.

        A blog should cost you no more than $50. Or you can source for niche blogs for sale.

        Altogether, with about $150, you should be ready to go.

        What I need to write is more comprehensive than this

        Until you know what you direction you want to go in, there is no reason just to go out and buy a domain called "kamalmixmakemoney.com" or whatever and hosting right off the bat. That is just a potential waste of $20-30 or so.

        First, research the different areas people are making money from online. Do you want to write or provide some other kind of services for others? Do you have technical expertise with computers and websites? Graphics design? Do you want to do affiliate sales? CPA marketing? Does the idea of regular blogging appeal to you?

        Research different markets, niches, and sub-niches that might appeal to you as well as their competetiveness and potential for monetization as this is easily one of THE biggest determinants as to whether or not you make any real money or just end up wasting a lot of time and money. Just because someone may be interested in the mating rituals of some obscure African ant does not mean huge fortunes are just around the corner from buying hosting and a domain called "kamalmixandhisantsreallylikebarrywhite.com" followed by religious blogging about that particular subject.

    I would spend $20 on a domain name and the 1st months hosting and then spend the other $180 on coffee and write like crazy for on site articles and backlinking articles.

    I always advise to Start with nothing any build yourself up.

    Meaning start with free sites and earn every penny.

    By doing so you learn what path needs to be taken in order to be successful.

    At the same time you're not so willing to throw away your money as many newbies

    often do.

    If you actually work at it, you'll realize the tools that need to be invested in.

    the tools and information that will better your success.

    Not the get quick rich systems...

    I agree that you need to learn first. Fortunately you can go out and start a site on blogger or wordpress.com for free and test our your ideas before you blow through your budget without anything to show for it.

    $200 should be more than enough to start. If you need ranking, maybe you can buy cheap SEO service and SEO software.

    Hey,
    You should certainly learn as much as you can before you start throwing your money around. I see you are a member of the War Room so I would recommend read the crap out everything there. There is a lot of info in there. Go back to the last page even, and read some of the things they posted 2-3 years ago.

    After you get to a point where you've learned the basics, it's time to take action.
    1. Domain name and hosting. This will run you around $10 for domain name and $9 per month for hosting.
    2. Get an autoresponder. Aweber is a great company but they cost around $19 per month for a list of up to like 500. I think iContact is free for the first 500 subscribers. There are some others out there too.
    3. Write a short report about your niche.
    4. Create a squeeze page using an HTML editor. I use Kompozer. It's free and simple to use. Put an optin form from your autoresponder on your page.
    5. Drive traffic to your site and start collecting email addresses by giving away your short report. You can drive traffic a number of ways. Guest blogging for blogs in your niche is one way.

    From what I just wrote, at the most that is like $35 per month. My advice is don't just blindly throw your money at something you think might make you some money. Know exactly what you are spending it on and why.

    P.S. Also, don't think that if you spend $200 on something that it will make you money automatically. There is no way around it; you will have to take action. I don't know where you are in your business, but don't fall into the trap of thinking there's a magic button. There is not. Good luck and keep us up to date on how you are progressing!

    James

    First thing you can do is set up a niche site and try to monetize it. Get adsense and see what you can do. Good luck! And I hope it all works out for you.
