Hey all! This thread will aim to answer questions some of the newer members have & members who haven't made their first buck online yet!
I'm going to share smaller, known methods while pointing you in the right direction to make money as a beginner.
First, we're going to talk about a few things/resources that you'll need to get started.
Things you'll need to get started:
- A website/landing page or somewhere to send traffic that you want to convert. (here is an AMA with @Festinger in regards to Wordpress)(to convert means that the visitor either buys what you're selling, enters their email for your offer, clicks your affiliate link, etc).
- Hosting, I'll list some cheap hosting providers below.
- CPA/AM/Publishers account, I'll list those as well.
- A traffic source. (social media, Google (see my beginner's guide on SEO here), paid ads, etc.).
- A payment processor to be paid with. (I'll list a few, but sometimes you can also be mailed a check, but it takes longer).
Buying a domain
I'm gonna start by telling you to attempt to avoid using Godaddy if you can. So lets list some alternatives to get you a domain name:
Bluehost - https://www.bluehost.com/
Bluehost is essentially a one-stop shop for domain, hosting, SSL certificate, and domain privacy. You don't need anything but domain & hosting, but the SSL makes your site more trusted & the privacy is for convenience.
This is the set up I chose from Bluehost that comes with a free domain & SSL certificate:
