Selecting a product or service to promote - The item you're promoting can be yours or someone else's. Try to pick something you can get behind.

Create a webpage - There are many free templates out there (do a quick google search).

Forms and Databases

Collecting information about potential customers is a must. When using forms you can have the information forward to your email inbox, but the best solution is to use PHP (MySQL databases).

Sample html form:

<form name="input" action=yourfile.php method="get">

Name:  <input type="text" name="name"> 

Email:  <input type="text" name="email"> 

<input type="submit" value="Process Info"> </form>

Sample PHP processing form information:

<?php 

$username="your username";

$password="your password";

$database="your database name";

// Connect to server and select databse.

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);

@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$name = $_POST["name"];

$email= $_POST["email"];

$query = "INSERT INTO list VALUES ('$name','$email')";

mysql_query($query);

echo "Thank you";

mysql_close();

$i++;

?>

This code will insert the name and email address into your MYSQL database.

This is a perfect solution for generating an opt-in Newsletter (mailing list).

In your Newsletter you can offer additional information and purchase options for the product/service you're promoting.

When promoting your our product/service you can use:

1. Paypal
2. Citibank
3. Yahoo PayDirect
4. BidPay

When promoting someone else's product/service look for their Affiliate Links.
