Expert: Emmett Smith Date: 5/28/2008 Subject: Building an Affiliate Web Site
Question Hi! I'm thinking of starting an affiliate website. I have very little background in website building and all the necessary tools to get my affiliate program off the ground. Would you be able to recommend a company/group who can help me build my site? I'm looking at sitesell.com that offers a complete package. What do you think?
Answer Sitesell looks like a very good service for people who want to get an online business started with little or no experience. Most of the services they provide are things that your would have to learn to do and it takes a lot of time. 99% of the people who start online businesses give up well before they learn how to successfully perform a fraction of these functions. Having never made any money, they are quick to label affiliate programs scams when their failure was a result of a lack of knowledge. Th e$300 they charge is well worth it.
This, however, will not be as easy as they are suggesting unless you get really lucky. A lot of your success will depend on your writing abilities and the popularity of your ideas. There are, undoubtedly, many people who did not succeed using sitesell's services as there are many who took over a year to begin making money. It will give you a better shot than most. The $300 is well worth the chance. You will spend much more than this to learn what they do.
You will also want to learn about the services and functions they are performing. You can start with these free ebooks and the links to free ebooks on the newsletter link:
