It was a simple question. How do you start an online business from scratch?
My suggestion was to do a search for an affiliate marketing checklist and start from step 1 and do stuff the list suggests.
Next bit of good advice was to start with stuff that is free.
Google will be your friend as you work through what you need and get it free. There will be some traps along the way. Example: Mailchimp offers a great free autoresponder to manage your automated emails BUT they hate affiliate links.
This is where the free trial works really well. There is an art to this. Plan what you want to achieve in the trial. My autoresponder has a 14 day trial - https://mymark.mx/GetR - Smash through the training videos in one go and smash that trial so it delivers enough to pay for paid access. Don't muck around. Smash it. Not enough paying results = move to the next.
I sent out an email yesterday about a different type of trial. Are you prepared for disaster? We have just lived through one. In 21 days you could be ready for your own future - check out Critical 21 Days here
To your life being free
