• Learn all you can about marketing on the internet.  There is a vast amount of information on the internet about internet marketing.  Maybe you even found this site by doing a search on Google or Yahoo or msn.  Do yourself a favor and use these search engines to investigate internet marketing.  Another free way to learn about internet marketing is to hook up with SiteSell and enroll in their risk free trial of their product.  Be forewarned - this product is so good, you'll most likely keep it!.

• I'm not a big fan of free or super-cheap web-hosting due to reliability and support problems I've had in the past.  But if you must have free hosting, check out FreeServers.com and others. I do not use these services because they are extremely limited and usually require that you place their ads on your website. My recommendation is to pony up a few bucks to get reliable and proven service from the respected and established companies that I talk about here.

• To build your website for free, you will need to learn how become proficient in HTML. This is how the websites were built in the old days (the 1990's). I still do a little hard-core HTML myself these days, but I strongly recommend using SiteBuildIt even though it is not free.  Remember - time is money and this tool is a huge time-saver.  But if you really want to build your site for zippo, nada, nothing, check out HTMLGoodies. There is lots of great information on how to develop sites in HTML  Once again, I must recommend using SiteBuildIt, although it is not free.

• Sign up for free on these affiliate programs. You can send some emails to your friends and family to point them at the products you are marketing.  Does someone you know need a blender?  Set up an affiliation with Buy.com through Linkshare and send your blender-buyer  your affiliate link.  NOTE: Do not SPAM anyone - this will get you kicked out the affiliate programs immediately.

• Get traffic to your site by getting to the top of search engines, marketing on ezines, and establishing link popularity. Once again, these methods require hard work - but this is a real business.

A friend of mine used to say that it takes money to make money.  I proved him wrong when I started from nothing and built my way to a six-figure income.  Don't believe the ney-sayers.  Use this information to make more money.  Prove them wrong!
