Step 3 - Build a site

Step 3...Put up a little website or blogsite. (You need to be able to link your articles to one of your own sites. This will translate into a bigger conversion rate than to just link directly to the merchant page.)

You can choose to put up a blog right here on Blogger.com or get a hosting site like


I personally use both.
I have several Blogger blogs...that do get some traffic. This is a little more time consuming and takes a little longer.

I also have a couple of Wordpress blogs hosted on Host Gator....this 'does' cost money for hosting and domain...but the Wordpress blog themes are free. And...by going with sub-domains, I only have the monthly cost of web host and the price of one domain.

The best thing about having your own site...it is YOUR site...not a shared site...and you have a lot more control over your own site...and you can host numerous domains and sub-domains on one Host Gator site...saving a ton of money on hosting.

You can also set up a free website at Webstarts.com or Webs.com.
I have sites on both and find they are so easy to use that it only takes about 15-30 minutes to set up a starter site, as long as you have the information ready to upload.
