It really is that simple!!
These are the steps explained
Domain name
The domain name is your websites address
eg http://www.affiliatemarketingintro.com.
That is this sites domain name. Select
a domain name that is relevant to your sites content.
You can find tips at Choosing a domain name
Register your domain name
To get a domain name you need to register
it with a domain name registrar. Registration involves a fee, usually less than $10 a year.
The registrar keeps a record of all domain names that are not available avoiding the possibility of two people buying the same domain name
You must
remember to renew this registration or you will lose the domain name.
You can opt to register a domain name for more than a year if you are
committed to keeping the site up for a longer period of time
There are lots of registrars on the
Internet
but one of the most popular and reasonably priced registrars is
Godaddy. To check availability of your chosen domain name
and register it go to www.GoDaddy.com

- Get a
program that teaches you how to build a website, gives you all the
templates and
graphics you need, includes hosting, domain name registration and
marketing training in the package.
I recommend
Ken Envoy's
program if this is the choice that suits you. It is the only package
that i could find that teaches and helps you implement the whole
affiliate marketing process from brainstorming, through website
building and publication to monetizing and promoting your site
Take
a video tour of the program here. It offers a FREE TRIAL
You
can also get
others to build your
site for you, all you do is give them the script and they will
do the rest for a fee. Just search Google and don't forget to read the
fine print before signing on. We don't recommend this
Hosting Account
Now you have
built your niche targeted, content rich, keyword loaded website, you
need to get a hosting account.
Until now your website has only existed
on your laptop, now you want it on the web. For your first website I
recommend getting an economy hosting account from a hosting service.
Now there are several hosting companies online but I use GoDaddy and
have been very happy with them. Great for newbies because they provide
a good customer service.

Uploading Your Site
Once you have built the site on your desktop and got a domain name and
hosting account, there are a few things you need to do.
- Point
your domain name to the hosting account. The hosting account
service will give you clear instructions on how to do this. After
following their instructions, it often takes a few hours for your
hosting account to be ready for use. Again instructions on this will be
given you by the hosting service
- Upload
your website once your hosting account is ready. To upload your
site, ie get a copy of it to live on the hosting server, you need an
FTP [file transfer protocol] software. there are lots of free FTP
clients available. I tend to favor filezilla but there are several
others. Some hosting services provide you with an FTP client
Get
The Website Indexed [Tell the world]
For
anyone to visit your site, the best way is to get the site indexed in
the search engines. That means letting Google, Yahoo, MSN and the other
search engines know you are here and include them in the list of sites
they return when a search engine query is performed.
How
to get your website indexed in the search engines is a
comprehensive post that covers this aspect in detail
