I promise you won't have to scroll down for five minutes to get to the good stuff, there are no testimonials of guys holding up big checks, or copies of Adsense statements, and I'm actually not selling you anything. What I am doing is showing you four powerful resources to help you get started with your online business. I want you to check them out, do some due dillegence of your own, and if you like what you see, all that I ask is that you click through the links on this page, because yes, I do get a commision. It took much trial and error to find these but now that I have I can build a site in a matter of days and I know how to market it. You can too.

First I needed a hosting service. There are literally thousands of them but after reading ratings sites and blogs and watching demos, I finally found one I love. Then I had to find the right ecommerce software platform to build them on. You can spend anywhere from ten to ten thousand dollars on ecommerce software and get very complex into programming and backend managent, etc. Luckily I stumbled upon one that is truly amazing(one that literally blew my mind at how cheap and easy it was to use) Then I needed a site for templates, to give me ideas on what professional sites look like. Finally I needed to know how to market my sites, and after much travail found an ebook on mastering what may be the most important part of the whole venture, getting eyeballs on your site. And the best part was, all of these only cost roughly $287.00. Lets break that down.

Hosting for a year: $72.00 (current special as of 4/20/08)

Ecommerce Software: $99.00

Website Templates: $49.00

Marketing Ebook: $67.00

Now the part that got me. After the initial cost, I can build an entire ecommerce site, powered by Amazon, the internet's leading retailer, for only the cost of a domain name. Not only that, I can build an unlimited number of sites and it still only costs me the cost of a domain name. So lets say you build 10 sites over a period of time, it comes out to roughly $30 a site and you have a professional looking site..... all you have to do is market. And Amazon has so many products it's dizzying.

The software is amazing stuff really, no need to be a programmer, very intuitive once you learn it, and tons of options to customize your site; add adsense, banners, widgets, html code, rss, etc.... I can literally put up a site a day if I have enough coffee. And they viritually run themselves, you just sit back and wait for the checks. So there is nothing stopping you from having twenty-five sites up and running and making money.

Twenty-five sites, even only making two dollars a site per day, would net you $1500.00 a month.

Ok so here are the four. As you can see I haven't charged for this information, I only ask that if you find any of these sites useful that you click through my site. And the best part?

If you order all four, and send me proof via email that you did(leave out the passwords and other sensitive information of course)* , I will send you a check or send via PayPal $87.00. That's over 30% off the purchase if you bought them seperately. It's a win, win situation. So basically you get a year of hosting, the best ecommerce software out there, the best website template site that gives you unlimited downloads of professional sites, and the most popular marketing ebook, for only $200 dollars. That's less than a webguy would charge you for one site! Think about it.

Please check these out for yourself, do some due diligence, I think you will agree.

Some helpful tips:

1) Remember that your domain names and your hosting service will expire. If you really like a name you have, get it for two years, and never forget to renew your hosting, that can be a nightmare as they can hold your domains hostage

2) If you buy a domain name from a service other than your hosting service you have to wait 60 days before you can transfer it. You can still build a site on it but you don't have it on your hosting service.

3) Marketing is a key, as you can see it's very easy to get into this ecommerce space but not everyone makes money. Find a niche, like I said Amazon has millions of products, find something unique.

4) Be realistic, you won't make a thousand dollars overnight (but if you do please tell me how). It takes time to build momentum.

5) Get your sites on the Search Engines as soon as you can, that also takes time. Look into a good SEO service that will do it for you.

6) Have fun, pick items you like and that you think will sell. Sure you can build a Rolex site but you might wait a while until you ever have a sale.

7) Build or have someone build a nice logo for your site. The first impression is the logo, or the header, and it's what makes your site look professional.

8) Get your site up and indexed, even if it has an "Under Construction." sign on it. Search engines often favor sites that have been around to new sites, put some adsense or a link exchange on it while you're building, you never know if someone might hit it.

Thank you for your time and the best of luck in all of your ventures

*You will receive your check in thirty days after the purchase of the four programs, I only do this because the hosting service has a 30 day money back guarantee.
