That is so true, Doug. In everything, in order to succeed we must first put initial investment. Constant effort, time, and developed knowledge so we can apply advance marketing techniques in order to get ahead of the competition.

The costs are minor, the real costs is dedicated time and effort. The few bucks it takes for the basics set the stage for building an empire, if one is willing to invest the time and effort to put them together in a meaningful way.

Doug,

You hit the nail on the head and very squarely. Many people new to affiliate marketing just do not understand that the must have these tools.

One of the problems is that you see all the time someone saying “start your business with out having to have a website”. Then they say something like, “promote your new affiliate program with a squeeze page to get people on your list.” They have just told you that you need a web site and an autoresponder.

Good that you made this post to remind people that these essential tools are not too expensive.

Well nothing in life is free and although it is going to cost you money to get into affiliate marketing, it would have to be the cheapest business around.

Some good pointers here Doug..

Very true Doug, The problem is that you can't blame people for thinking that they can start without any money. There are so many people out there that claim that you can make thousands of dollars overnight while you are asleep, with no website, no domain, no product, no anything. You make a good point in that, yes, it is going to cost some money. However, you have provided a great resource for someone to use. This hosting plan comes with everything that you need with the exception of the actual domain name, and at only $20/month it can't be beat!

Doug,

You mean it’s going to COST me something to start in Internet Marketing??

How true your words are. Although it doesn’t cost a whole lot, there are some ’start up’ costs involved.

Great info. Thanks.

Ron

Very true, it's something that not a lot of beginners want to hear... that it does cost a bit of money. It's true that you can start for free, but there are many issues/problems that you can run into if you do that, many which can be solved with very little money.

All very necessary and not too expensive tools. Just think what you would have to spend on a true brick and mortar site. This would not even get you started with that. You are telling people what they ought to know about how easy it can be to get online. Andre Arnett’s last blog post..Introducing eCover Black Pack By Doug Champigny
