When I first started out into affiliate marketing I used nothing more than a shared hosting account. However as my business grew I found my sites were loading slower so I needed to upgrade to a dedicated server.

If you are only looking at one or two sites then I would recommend only using a shared hosting account, you need to keep your costs down when you first start out simply because you will have little to no income and if have to keep paying huge bills with no return that may cause your business to decline fast.

As for domain names, I totally understand your dilemma you can try buying an already existing domain name from Sitepoint where you can find some good bargains or use a free keyword tool to help you find and register a domain name that is related to your marketplace.

You are not actually correct when saying that many subscribers today are just sick to death of getting offer after offer sent to them. You need to provide quality content on your site, build trust and then maybe send them information about a product or service that you use which of course has had good results.

Unlike many affiliate marketers today who set up a quick series of emails to get your trust then blast your inbox every day with offer after offer, I simply unsubscribe from these types of list. This is something many new affiliates need to understand, this tactic has been over used and abused.

Thanks for the post, as for writing an e-book this is more of a passion where as I just write when I feel the urge to do so….
