You EVEN don't need paying for the domain name. e.g. www.dot.tk or www.co.nr are good for a starting web presence. More than that: some IM experts, when talking about entering a niche, and choosing the long tail keywords to select, recommends to use a free web subdomain for initial tests and, when getting sales, jumping to the paid .com domain.

2 cents of an idea to Tracy: Yes, do split-testing and tracking with the tons and tons of traffic... but always send traffic to a structured 3-page-pack: * First page (landing page): Squeeze / mail capture that leads to * Second page (AFTER you got the mail): Your main Gano Excel affilliate offer page then * Third page: pop-up or closing/changing from other previous pages... Just implementing first 2 pages will reassure you, at least, an e-mail to follow-up!

I do like instantblogsubscribers, it's a more discreet way to conduct split-test with the posts. Kind of checking readers response and so...

Hi Paul, pleased to meet you. Efficiency not depens on huge traffic, but in RESPONSIVE one... What you want to do with this traffic? CPA? Affilliate offers? Email squeezing? The approach could have to be different in each case!

As I also give face-to-face self-empowerment training, I tend to invest only spare time to growing mine online passion. Most of evenings and at least 50% time of free weekends working online.

When you surpass the newbie level, you get to understand the value of leveraging and escalating... For example, it is way more profitable to invest your time in developing good copywriting skills; this way, any message you send will get a better return, will be subcribers, referrals or sales. Just mine 2 cents.
