    I would ask what type of online business are you aiming for?

    I'm not exactly clear if you would like affiliation marketing because of your PS message or if you're interested in the other types (dropshipping, product creation, fiverr, etc.)

    Otherwise, you would need a domain name, hosting, the niche you are interested in building your business in, and a plan of action of how you are going to achieve your business (outsource SEO? write your own blog articles?).

    (I'm no expert in this, but this is what I gathered up from the two months I've been in internet marketing...)

    Also, you have to keep in mind that you may not earn a full-income right from the start. It seems as though it truly takes 1-3 years for many people to be able to achieve such a status.

    To avoid becoming discouraged too early in the game, then you should set your goals low and slowly build your way up. It may be slower, but it will keep you in the game longer. After all, you will need to keep your motivation going as well to become successful, no matter what IM method you choose to use.

    When I clicked on the site in your signature it flashes on and then gets hung up by something called s1.wpstats.net. Just thought you should know.

    I think you've answered your own question. Search for other sites in your niche that are doing exactly what you want to do yourself. Research how they arrange their sites. Sign up for a few lists if necessary to take a look at their back end. This is probably the fastest way to build your own site.

    Don't reinvent the wheel. Take the best ideas from others and put your own twist to it.

    Look at what method you want to earn money online. Adsense? Affiliate marketing? Social Network marketing?

    To build a website, you would need a hosting account & domain. I have success with affiliate marketing.

    First things first is deciding what kind of business do you want.

    Do you want to sell products on ebay? start your own blog? offer outsourcing services? website content? and so on.

    Then once you have done that you need to find your niche and stick to it and then you can start looking at starting your business.

    Once you have decided you need to build your site and then work on the marketing and for this phase of things this forum will tell you everything that you need to know.

    You should start your business with a trustworthy hosting company (marblehost or hostagtor or webintellects) - that's very important and a half of success of your IT business.
