Often people join affiliate marketing because the merchant
provides a website for them. Although this is a good way to
start you eventually will want to set up your own website.

Here are a few different ways you can do this:

1. You want to host your own website as opposed to using a
replicated website. This gives you complete control over
everything and you can make changes to it any time you choose.

2. Find a hosting company that fits into your budget and has a
proven track record of little or no downtime. The last thing you
want is to arrange for free or cheap hosting and have your
website offline and not making you money.

I recommend Hostgator:

3. Most hosting companies will provide you with tutorials on how
to build a website. Today this is very easy to do and you usually
do not need to learn HTML code.

4. One thing to consider is using the WordPress blogging platform
as your primary website. Again you do not want to choose the
free hosting they offer, but rather host it yourself.

5. One huge advantage to blogging is you just type in your blog
articles and WordPress builds the web pages for you. They also
offer many different plug-ins to liven your blog up which is
helpful in attracting and keeping long term readers.
