Then came the boom of the internet from 2000 to 2023, which has now made it possible for people to connect through tools and systems like never before...
For example, a website builder called
And with this Estage, you can set up your business and,
Let me begin by explaining what a domain and hosting are before you build a website. Don't worry; it's all quite simple to understand.
Your domain is similar to your home mailing address, while your hosting represents the piece of land you've purchased. Your domain (e.g., www.example.com) indicates where people can find you, while your hosting is where your website files—such as articles, pictures, and other content—are stored.
Check out these hosting and domain services: Getresponse.com, Namecheap.com, Bluehost.com, Godaddy.com, etc...
P.S. Getresponse is the best platform, and that's what I use!

Success ultimately depends on your ability to put in the work. Some affiliates make money in their first or second month and achieve results, while others experience later success due to a lack of focus...

The great thing about running an affiliate online business is that you’re not stuck in one spot doing something you hate!
If you don’t like what you’re working on, you can switch to something you enjoy better.
This is hard to say because you'll run into a lot of mistakes like any other business and even an online business...
When it comes to an online business such as affiliate marketing, network marketing, or MLM Marketing, the ball is in your court!
Don’t hesitate to make mistakes in your online business; you will encounter many errors, but that's okay because it's part of learning and growing, right?
Now, owning or running a real physical brick-and-mortar business, that ball is not in your court...
The reason for that is you have things like huge overhead expenses, electricity payments; managing your employees, doing employee payrolls, doing employee scheduling; managing inventory on a daily or weekly basis; and, or possibly attending boring corporate meetings, etc...
The simplest answer to why website traffic is important is because it increases sales...
The more people that come to your website because of the "value they're receiving from you", the likelier that some portion of those people is going to buy something from you... It’s a snowball effect from there.
Also, creating videos on YouTube, or starting a blog ( very powerful ) can attract visitors to your site as well... No worries again, this is what I will teach you inside Ranorm!
It’s a good idea to get a feel for what you’re going to be doing, but, you don’t need a degree or certification to get started.
You can learn what you need to know along the way. I would start by learning about traffic and conversions!
As you grow your business, understanding basic concepts can enhance your sales over time.
An easy rule of thumb, but not an absolute, split your time between research and action...
A business won't just appear on its own, so it's essential to invest your time. If you have a full-time job, consider dedicating about 2-3 hours each day to your business. But, if you have more time to invest in your business, start with 4 to 6 hours each day for approximately 60 to 90 days...
When you start to get results, you can start thinking about splitting your time in half...
Remember, the more hours you put into your business, the greater your chances, of making more money in less time. 🤑
Yes, you do!
If you ask any successful online or offline business owner, they will always tell you that they NEVER send their customers or prospects their private email addresses, such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail.
Imagine receiving an email from a company regarding a product you purchased or an issue you’re having, and the sender's "wrong" email address looks like this:
[email protected], [email protected], or [email protected] ❌
Chances are, you would not open that email and might consider it spam, sending it straight to your spam folder...
In contrast, with the "right" professional email address, you can customize it to say:
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected] ✅
Another crucial reason to use a professional email is to ensure that all your emails land in your customers' inboxes and not in their spam or junk folders. This could be the difference between success and failure for your business if not done correctly. Getting a professional email is easy and affordable! I use a service called privateemail.com, and I pay about $8.99 a year!

Ultimately, the decision is really up to you, right...
Running an online business is a game of consistency. Like any job or business, you have to show up, you have to complete your tasks, and you have to do the work. Once you have reached success, then, you don't have to work as hard, but, in the beginning, you do...
There's no requirement to work every day. Just remember you will get what you put in. So, it's your business, and you will decide its destiny, by creating your schedule...
Just make sure the work gets done, and you can reap, reap the rewards!
The answer is, no...
"Unless you need them for your online business right now?"
One of the beauties of running an online business is that you can do this by yourself, from home without having to pay out of pocket for employees... Now, when you start to make some real money, you could branch out and hire people to do certain work on your behalf, but, in the beginning, it's not needed if you are new, or starting...
Of course, when that time comes, and you want to hire someone for customer support or hire admins to control some of your social media channels, then I would recommend you outsource helpers, on websites like:
UpWork.com Fiverr.com
These are superb resources, but only, use these services when you start to bring in the BIG bucks...
keep your workload manageable.
Focus on just one niche, on one traffic method, until you’re confident to move on to the next... Then when you see results by doing that one strategy method, may add to it, a little bit at a time. Don't try to do 20 traffic strategies or make 5 websites on different topics because that, would be ingredients for disaster.
Work smarter, not harder.
Also, it's okay to step away from your computer for an hour or two to go for a jog, run, catch up on that favorite book, have a little family time with the fam, or get a bit to eat. So take a break because sometimes you just need to step away from the workload.
Keep in mind, that you are an entrepreneur, you have control of your destiny, right?
Since I am not a tax adviser or a bookkeeper, I do recommend you seek out one by doing your research. There are plenty of great tax professionals and, bookkeepers out there!
For taxes, I would suggest working with (Jack Cohen) a CPA professional... He's worked as an IRS agent for 30 years and works with entrepreneurs about business structures, taxes, and how to keep more of the money you’re earning!
