Do you already have a business? A conventional, physical business. Or are you trying to make some money marketing generic sites with only an affiliate link? Both of these types of business usually have something in common: that is that their online presence is mostly dreadful.

Too many business owners and affiliate website promoters do not realize that a poor website does a lot more harm than good. A business owner who has himself tried to create a website on Geofreebies or one of the other free webspace providers is essentially doing the same as someone who only promotes an affiliate link on an automatically-generated, replicated affiliate page.

The problem is that it is obvious what those websites are: cheap and nasty and unfortunately, that reflects on the business and the business owner both. The same goes for email addresses. Just consider, what looks better to you:

amiable-dragon123456@yahoo.com or

http://amiabledragon.com

owen@amiabledragon.com

I think that it is quite obvious which looks more professional; which inspires more confidence and which would bring in more customers and Im sure that there is no one in the world who would disagree.

The next thing to consider is the extension ” ie the letters after the . or the @. .com probably still carries the most prestige, but it no longer has the lead it used to have. .tv, .biz, .info have their places, I’m sure, but they do not really have the same cachet. However, another problem with .com is that it has been around since the Internet began and very many names have already been taken.

I suggest that .ws is a very viable solution to this problem. You can imagine it standing for web site, although it actually stands for Western Samoa! It is a relatively new suffix and many, many combination names are still available. I am sure you could still get the address you want. Something else you may not know is that when you buy your own domain name, you can make any email address out of it by substituting anything for the http://www and replacing the DOT with an @ sign. Look at the address above for an example.

Then you have to find a host for your domain and administer the site and email addresses. The fees are usually paid annually in advance for the name and monthly for the hosting, both payments going to different companies quite often. However, there is now a very professional company on the market which is offering a website, with a name of your choice and ten variable email addresses and a free website design service and all you pay is only $10 a month to one firm for the lot. There is no contract and you can leave at any time or change the email or website addresses.

That is a very good deal for a business website (think of: sales@….; info@….), a family website (everyone can have their own email) or an affiliate website (using redirects). But that is not all there is to it! You can actively promote the host company or just put a referral link to it on your website and make cash, month after month in perpetuity from referrals for no extra work on your part! And if you use the link below, you will get a weeks free trial and three paying members in your downline, subject to a condition, or your first months $10 paid for by us.

That cant be bad, can it? You can not lose. Five weeks free trial of your own domain, hosted on your own site, with 10 email address or a free week with three members paying you $3 a month to give your business a flying start!
