After writing my Establishing Net Presence (1) post, where I write about my purchasing my fist piece of Internet property, a domain name, and mention GoDaddy.com as my chosen registrar, I thought that since I’m telling people about this service, why shouldn’t I try to make money as well? I mean, some of my readers are probably going to use GoDaddy.com’s service, and it won’t affect their price whether they used an affiliate referral link or a direct link, so why not…

I went to GoDaddy.com, found the affiliate link and followed the required steps to sign up as an affiliate. They still need to approve my application. I figure they will visit my site to check if it has appropriate content, use their tools of choice to tell how is my site indexed in the search engines, etc.

Anyway, it is the second day, and I’m hoping to receive a Welcome mail to join my first affiliate programme.

Money Online – Attempt at Joining My First Affiliate Programme

The first step that seemed logical to me is becoming an owner of some form of Internet property. That’s why I decided to to purchase a domain name as soon as possible. I didn’t want to use any of the free domain solutions, and, my company, where I work as operations manager, uses GoDaddy.com for purchasing its domains, and, naturally that was the first place I went. I checked the prices for domain registration there and then Googled for other registrars. I found CleverDot.com, that was cheaper with .com domains. Every other domain registrar was more expensive, and since I wanted a .com anyway, I didn’t even pay attention to .biz or .info. (although I later saw that it was $2.99 on GoDaddy.com).

Anyway, since my company uses GoDaddy.com and I thought I could use the help of our IT if I needed assistance, I registered an account with GoDaddy.com. The difference is very small when you realize this is for a year, and knowing (hoping) that you would be making money online, hence, certainly covering this expense anyway.

A few minutes later my credit card information was sent, and I became the proud owner of www.net-entrepreneur.com
