I just regisered my first domain and acquired a hosting service and autoresponser. This will be my first attempt at actually making a web presense and I am not sure of how I should do this. Do I first build a website, which I don't know how to do, although I have Tony's ebook to follow, and then add blogs to it or just go with blogs and forget building a website altogether? I want to do this right the first time and not have to start over after hours of work. I have purchased some PLR products that I hope to market and I want to begin affiliate marketing info products. At this point, I'm not sure what comes first, "the chicken or the egg". Are any of you marketing with the use of blogs and how have you set your web business up? My domain name is 'my name' online.com and from there I would like to go in different directions, if that makes sense. Thanks swtp43 (alex)[/u]

Get yourself over to www.jobhaters.com Free, and priceless.
You might also want to take a look at Tony and Sara's new offering, Kick Start Course (www.kickstartcourse.com) (NOT an affiliate link)
Read everything you can get from them that's free, too.
There may be others like them, but with most of the other stuff out there, it's "this is what I did to succeed, you do it, too" then they sell it, others sell it, and next thing you know, thousands of people are trying the same approach and wondering why it's not working. Just look at adwords, squidoo, blogging, article marketing, review sites, to name a few. Talk about the herd mentality. As Buffett said about the US stock market, when everyone is buying, you should be selling; when they sell, you buy. It's hard to go against the crowd, but it's the best way to fly.
Three nice things about what S & T teach:
1.there's plenty of room for creativity, so you're not in a cookie-cutter mode, waiting for the bottom to drop out
2. It actually takes some creativity and work, eliminating a large number of competitors as they move onto the next "make millions while sitting at the beach"
3. the stuff works.

There's a sticky on the forum somewhere about spotting scams and your susceptibility to them. Also well worth a read before you spend a penny more on junk like Blogging to the Bank (saw that on another post; agree with you totally)

This forum, which started out with so much promise, has slowed down considerably. To the point where someone like me has to come in here to talk about Laycock products. It'd be nice is Sara and/or Tony would stop in from time to time, but alas, it doesn't seem to be on their radar. Tony used to, but I think he may have lost the URL. Not sure why Sara didn't show up; and she's certainly not saying.
But that doesn't take away from the fact that their stuff is better than 99% of the stuff out there.

Go forth and prosper. Or at least have some fun.
