Thanks for the sites. As you all can see I haven't been sleeping at night because I have been doing so much research on the whole internet thing. I do have a couple of more questions.I think I can get a website through my ISP but I am not sure if I can use it for Commercial or not. If I can how do I promote my web sites? I don't want to preasure my family or friends. I know when I had a friend that did candle partys she would call me all the time and ask if I would have a party. I know this is different but still I don't want to tell anyone right now because I know if I do ALL I'LL HEAR IS "you're gonna get ripped off and you just cant afford that". (in fact if my sister found out I was even thinking about doing this she would tell me I was a complete idiot and to forget about it)
Another question I have is affiliate's It looks really interesting but I'm not sure how to do it.Do you have to pay the company to become an affiliate of their's? I would love to start up two maybe three websites right now but again I'm not sure how to. I have downloaded and printed out so much stuff over the past 4 days it's not even funny,but I am going to take one thing at a time. How about a domain name? Do I need one? How and exactly when should I set myself up as a business in the state I live in? Before or after I decide what I want to do? Is that just calling and getting my tax ID #? Again I am so sorry about all of these questions but I hope you all can see that I am serious about this and I want to make as little mistakes as possible. I know I am not going to make money overnight. Heck I may not even make any money with in the first year but at some point I KNOW I WILL!!! I just need help thats all. I don't want ya'll to do the work for me because if you did then it would be your business not mine.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
