I need your help...

Hey Everyone,

I need your help. I am very serious about becoming an affiliate. Specifically in the email marketing field. However I don't know how to start. Here are a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to:


1-What are the start up costs?
2-Do I need to register a company to do this?
3- Do I need to create a website for this?
4-Where can I purchase quality email addresses for bulk mailing? And no, I do NOT intend to spam, I want to practice this marketing method with the highest industry standards.
5- Realistically, how long does it take to start making a profit?

If you guys have any good advice, I am more than willing to learn this business.

Thank you!!!

You can start with no start up cost except for time! (-:

Well you need to first have a targeted niche (dogs, candles, ebooks etc..)

Be specific like (Special dog treats, beeswax candles, marketing ebook etc..)

Next you need some method of collecting opt-in subscribers ezines, free give aways, newsletters, special reports etc..)

Yes you need a web site with an emailform for signups.

At this point you need web site visitors. You can either pay for it with PPC campaigns and other advertising means or you can take time to write and submit articles with your links. Maybe Traffic Exchanges or safe lists.

Build and build and build your list!
