How do I get my list going if I do not have a website? Will I still be able to make money? Is having a domain name really necessary to make money? Does a website really need to have hosting? I am new to this and my husband does not think making money on the Internet can be done. I believe it can.
Answer: Technically you could make money without a website, but you would have to have an Autoresponder. And inside your Autoresponder you would need to have an email address that you can use. This is the old school way of doing it.
Back in 2002 I had an Autoresponder and I gave out my email address. I had people subscribe to my list by sending an email to my email address. I would collect their names and email out to them. I made money this way, but that was back in the old days. It was tedious and time consuming. I made some money, but nowhere near what I make now. This method is outdated so I would avoid it if you can.
However, nowadays too many people use this technique incorrectly by using phishing software. They collect emails from the web and spam them. These collections are not targeted and just send blanket emails to lists of scooped up email addresses. So I wouldn't recommend this strategy because your emails can come across as spam.
In today's Internet business world you do need to have a domain and website if you want to make money on the Internet. Once you get a domain then just put up a squeeze page. You do need to have hosting of your domain. You can't just simply purchase domain name. You have to purchase the hosting that hosts the domain name.
Why do you need hosting? Think about it this way. Let's say you want to build a new church. First, you have to find the physical location/address for the new church. This is like the domain name. Then you have to build the church. Building your church is like the hosting account.
Next you need an Autoresponder that will enable you to create forms that will collect peoples' information. Once they input their information into your squeeze page it is stored in your Autoresponder. Then you can use your Autoresponder to send them emails. This is not spam because they have voluntarily signed up for your list.
Next build your list. Email to your list. Make money. Those are the next steps in a nutshell.
