The Web Affiliate Program Blog

I was just wanted to mention a few quick tips for purchasing a turnkey website.

It's best to buy a site where you are able to just edit one quick file which includes your affiliate links. If you are unsure of how to setup an affiliate account ask the seller before you buy the site. They should provide you with all that you want to know about setting up affiliate accounts. Also, negotiate ahead of time for the seller to help you with adding your affiliate links if you feel it's something you will struggle with.

As for hosting...it doesn't hurt to ask for a month free. That way you can settle in and take it a little slower and you won't have to rush setting up a hosting account. A lot of times this will be offered anyways. But if it's not, it's worth asking for. Most of the site sellers host the sites on their own hosting account without having to pay extra so it should be no sweat for them to hang on for a month. That can give you time to price out some hosting packages as well.

During the free month of hosting, figure out the areas where you may struggle running your site. If they are things you find difficult to learn or have no desire to learn, negotiate with the seller and tell them you will pay them for continued hosting in exchange for the extra tech help you require. If that's the case, expect to pay around $10 per month for hosting per site.

Also, when it comes to the domain name you may be required to pay a domain transfer fee. You will generally be looking at around $20.00 for that. Often times you will be able to get a free push into your account depending on the hosting that is setup. Ask about that option.

Best of luck and have fun with it.
