Designing Your Website for Affiliate Marketing
If you want to start marketing as an affiliate then you need to have your own website.
This is the main requirement to start your online business. Your website does not have to be loaded with graphics، but it does need to be informative، simple and professional.
To make your website you will need to do three things. Purchase a domain name،
purchase the hosting service and design your website to upload to your hosting server. While purchasing the domain name، try to get a name that contains the main keywords of your website. Or you may simply choose a name that you like.
While selecting your hosting company، look for reliability. Hosting companies will be
responsible for the storage of your files and to keep your website up and running. Godaddy.com is a well known، reliable hosting company.
How should your website be designed?

site professional looking and clean. The easiest way to hire a designer is to use an auction website like RentACoder.com or ODESK.com.

Select the one which is best for your work and award him your project. After getting your website you can pay him through the auction website.

There are many websites on the internet that are offering free website templates. Just visit these sites and choose the template that you like. Fill in the template with you own content and upload it on your server.
