Once you are ready with your content, you can move on to create your first affiliate website.O
ncence 1 - Register a domain name
For those you don’t know, domain is the name of your website that people will type into their browser’s address to reach your site.
For example, facebook.com is a dot-com domain name
Try to come up with a domain name which is short, memorable and if possible contains your main keyword.
Also, only register .COM domain name don't go for other options.
Once you are ready with your domain name, go to Godaddy.com or Namecheap.com and register your domain.
Domain registration will cost you $10 to $12 per domain name.
Here’s a small trick to register your domain name for just $0.99.
Search “GoDaddy coupons” on Google.
Then click on the search result from retalimenot.com and select a coupon which says “93% Off on .COM domains”, copy the coupon code and use it while checking out on Godaddy.
Step 2 - Select a web host
A Web host is a server which stores your website content and makes it accessible 24x7 for the worldwide audience.
You need to select a web host who is reliable, easy to configure and affordable. There are many choices available in the market, and you can choose anyone you like.
If you are just starting out I will suggest you go with Hostgator; I personally use Hostgator for hosting my sites. They have low pricing plans, and their hosts have great speed and reliability.
Step 3 - Add domain name and install Wordpress
If you’ve signed up with Hostgator. Login to your cPanel and click on Addon Domains under Domain section.
Now add the name of the domain you just registered and click on Add Domain button.
Wait for few hours till Hostgator hosts your domain on their server.
After that click on Wordpress Installer in Essentials section, select the domain name you just added, enter all the details related to your blog and click on Install Now button.
Wordpress will be installed on your site within few seconds, and you’ll be able to upload your articles.
