Registering a Domain Name
Don't pay more than $10 for your domain unless a vanity domain is worth it for your model.
And don't load up with addons when you're making your purchase. You don't need 'em.

- 7 Zip - Takes .zip files and opens them on your computer

Market Research
Is there a market of buyers ready to BUY? Do your research first, it's
easier to feed a hungry market then to sell something by convincing
them.

- Paypal - Fast and Easy
- 1ShoppingCart - Highly recommend as one stop solution- integrates with Paypal or your Merchant Account

Excerpt from a recent article I wrote:
My friend wanted to make a little extra cash, but had no idea where to
start so I suggested he write an ebook and put it up for sale on
Clickbank.com to get started.
His first response?? I can't write! So here he is telling me
he wants to earn cash and my first suggestion, he comes back with an
excuse. Now, I've been working online for a long time, and I've seen my
share of successes and failures and one of the biggest reasons for
those failures is that mind set right there.
Instead of taking the idea and thinking about the possabilities, he
immediately came up with a negative. It didn't matter that I gave him
an entire business model that he could have cash coming in the door in
the matter of a few days.
So this sort of ticked me off, I feel like I
"wasted" an hour of my time and gave him a great little cash machine
and he just stomped on it. So here's what I'm going to do.. this week,
I'm giving you the little plan and you can do what you want with it, if
it fits your model great, if not ok.. but consider this my own little
"economic stimulus plan"
to you..
1. Pick a hot niche with people LOOKING for a solution- watch the news, Google trends, what's selling hot in Amazon
2. Do a Google search for "niche/topic + private label rights" or I think Nicheology.com is top rated for quality materials!
3. Buy some decent looking private label rights and finding something with a sales page is great
4. Name your book and register a domain ($9.00)
5. Have a quick little graphic package done - this only costs from $15.00 to $150.00 depending on what you want
6. Use a free html editor to create two simple webpages 1.Salespage 2.Download page
7. Sign up on a site like Paydotcom that is free and follow the steps they outline or use Clickbank that it is under $50.00.
8. Start promoting your ebook
9. Put a review of your ebook on a blog with a link to your sales page and bookmark it
10. Put the domain url in your social network profiles and boom, you are an author in less then a week!
You can easily start turning a profit in a very short amount of time
and have no product to deliver, no overhead, and wake up to "You Have A
Sale" in your inbox.
