Your Domain Name.

 

As you'll learn from your investment in "Affiliates Advice"... strictly speaking you don't have to have a website in order to sell other people's products... there are other ways of selling. 

 

For example, having grabbed your unique affiliate link when you signed up as an affiliate to a particular product, use it as your *signature on forums you join, or articles about your niche that you write and submit to article sites.  We'll talk more about marketing later.

 

*Your "signature" is the short paragraph at the end of your article where you state a little about yourself and the product you're promoting. 

 

A signature doesn't "sell" it "states".  If people have enjoyed your answer in the forum, or the article you wrote, they're likely to follow the link in your signature to find out more.

 

Some marketers will provide affiliate banners for your use too.  And emails for you to send to your mailing list once you've developed one.

 

Most of you, wisely, will decide to have an "identity" of your own... a web site address where people can find you or your product/s... a domain name.  

 

And a thought for you right now... do you own your own name as a domain name yet?  Is it still available, or has another person with the same name already grabbed it?  Click on the image below to find out...

 

If yours has gone... do you have a middle initial that you could include?  Or a nickname that you enjoy?  You're going to find a lot of uses for having your own personal domain name. 

 

In fact, the first use you can put it to is to recommend affiliate products.  If you've put together a quick web page... a minisite, to promote a product you're an affiliate for, it's address on the internet can be

www.(your name).com/recommends/(product name or just the initials). 

 

e.g. www.johnsmith.com/recommends/newbiesonthenet or www.johnsmith.com/recommends/notn 

But if you're serious about an online presence, even if you've decided to limit it to affiliate products, then you do need your own site and a domain name that reflects your chosen niche. 

Never done this before?  That's okay...
