1st Affiliate Website? Where to get it? How to build it?

Hi Rob,

Looks like you already got a lot of great advice in here. I kind of did what Teli mentioned.
I started out with a WP blog, used the themes and it turned out great. Blogs are great for free SE Traffic, Plus there are so many free tutorials online about using WP, they make it really easy. Best of Luck!

Hello,

If I were just starting out, I would just build one page - a squeeze page. Simple html page, and not a full website. This would save me loads of time, but the best thing is, by doing this, I would make at least 10 times more money than with just a website.

Just my thoughts, if the goal #1 is to make profits.

Thanks for your opinion Alex.

I'd just like to let affiliates know I strongly disagree with this strategy.
Free search engine traffic is one of the best sources of traffic. If you want people to find you on Google and other search engines you need compelling, keyword rich content in order to attract visitors. No content = no free search traffic. In fact Google would not even like a site at all that only had a squeeze page.

Thanks Linda

You know, that`s what I was believing in for along time. And that was the time, when I was making like $200 per month, and working hard, very hard. And honestly, I realized that what I do, is I work for Google.... I depend on Google and other search engines. And I don`t want to depend on anything, because it`s my business.

What I want to say - is IT IS GOOD to optimize your articles in directories, so THOSE ARTICLES get search engine traffic. Then those people come to my squeeze page, and I get them on my list. That traffic is mine, for years to come. and I don`t need to spend time on building a website. This way I don`t care about any search engine rules changes. And they DO change.

Anyways, this is the way I know I can make at least 10 times more than building the website for the search engine. And I can start making money in like one week. How long does it take to start making money by building a website?

Good luck!
Alex

hi alex,

again its me azam. i heard the same suggestion just like yours. recently, i attend one workshop organized by local superaffiliate and he did just like what you did!. now, i have a squeeze page but do not have an idea how to promote my squeeze page immediately so that i won't spend much time waiting. already invest a lot and a bit nervous what is the result...
