The first thing you will need to get is a domain name. A domain is a web address. The domain for this site is netmarketing101.info . I recommend for your first domain for you to buy your name if it is available. My name was not so I bought http://whoispaulrushing.com this will be where you can test different features of using a wordpress blog without messing up your sites that will make you money. Eventually you will nurture that site like a baby but it is the best way to get started. Make it an online journal of your experiences of starting this and about you and your family and interest. This will be your first site so have fun with it. This site will probably not create any income for you.

I recommend the following sources to purchase domains from:

• Register your domain at Yahoo! Only $1.99/1st yr.



• Find, Buy & Sell Domain Names with Godaddy

Do not buy hosting at the same place you buy domains I will explain the reasons why in a later article.

Net you will need hosting. hosting is where your website lives. That is where all of the information resides that makes your website shine. Really the only place to get hosting for people just starting out is Hostgator. There are many options but the reseller package is the most optimal for making money online. You can host unlimited sites on a reseller account. Eventually you will probably upgrade to a dedicated server but for now just getting started a reseller plan for $24.95 a month is all you need. Get hosting here Reseller Hosting Starting at $24.95!

Your total cost for getting set will be between $27 and $34 dollars depending on which domain supplier you use. I prefer godaddy personally and use them for the bulk of my domain purchases. However yahoo does have good pricing and I have used them before. Their renewal rates are higher. Remember we are building sites for the long term so if you can afford to do it I would recommend using godaddy and register for as long of a period as you can afford.

Tomorrow I will explain more on how to set up a wordpress blog and give you pointers on picking out your first niche and how to start looking for ways to generate cash.. Also I will have step by step instructions on setting dns and using whm to create your sites. For now just call me or send me an IM to bwk_wcp using yahoo messenger to let me guide you one on one.
