2. Who are you?
================
This is a very important question that you need to ask yourself
when trying to figure out how to setup your website.
Are you going to be 'the person behind the website' or are you
going to try and sell yourself? Face it, you are the only 'you'
in the world and that is very important online.
As the millions of new websites pop up competing to try and
take your visitors and your customers, you have one distinct
advantage:
None of those other websites have YOU behind them.
Sell that fact, promote that fact, push it every chance you
possibly can. The more you put your name out there, the more
popular you will become.
If you don't ask yourself this question, I can assure you of
one thing:
Your visitors will ask themselves who you are.
When a visitor comes to your site and sees your recommendations
plastered all over the place, and your stories of how you've
made your fortune online, they will want to know who you are.
What is your name, and have I heard it mentioned whenever I
hear about successful Internet marketers? Why should I believe
what you are telling me on your website if I can't even find
your name? When I do find your name where is the proof to back
up what you are saying?
You need to promote yourself just as diligently as you promote
your website. Get your name plastered everywhere you possibly
can.
The more places you get mentioned, the more people will read
your name and read about your successes. Then when they get
to your website they will already have heard about you and
will respect what you are telling them and be more receptive
to what you are trying to sell them.
How do you do this?
First thing you need to do is put your name on your website.
Create an About Us page telling your story and providing
contact information.
Write articles and get them published every place you can
find. Articles are great credibility builders because they
show everyone that you know what you are talking about.
Get links from other sites to yours. A link from one website
to another is a hidden endorsement. Your visitor will figure
if your site is worthy enough to get a link it must be worth
visiting.
One argument I've heard about trading links with other sites
is that they are just going to put your link on a links page
with 50 other websites on it.
Turn this around: Out of the millions of sites they COULD
link to, your website made their top 50!
The more paths that lead to your site and the more places
that your name can be found, the better your chances for
success and for survival online.
So who are you going to be?
The person behind the website, or <your name goes here>.

4. Start your own affiliate program
====================================
If you want to make serious money online you almost have to
have your own product.
Once you have your product, you need to start up an affiliate
program to help you sell your products.
I've updated my page on places that you can use to either get
software to start your own program, or that will host it and
run it for you on their own site.
Have a look at the updated list:
