#1 First of all, you will need to have your own website. What I mean here is that you will need to register your own domain and get a hosting services. There are some marketers who try to promote using sites such as blogspot.com and squidoo.com. You should only use them along with your own website.

You will be just sending similar information to the subscribers in the list if other marketers have also bought them.

#5 Product reviews can help to make your site become an authority site in your niche. However, you do not just write the reviews. You should use the products yourself and try to write honest reviews. Otherwise you will be just creating reviews that other marketers have created.

#6 Be sure that you will have your own website articles. You may not want to use the articles from article directories although it is legal to do so.
