Anita,

Probably the BEST place to start is with blogging.

It gets your feet wet and you can do it for free. You don't even need your own domain or hosting at first either. You can easily set up a blog with Blogger.

Just go to:

https://www.blogger.com/start

Go through the simple steps of setting up your blog. Don't worry too much about getting it perfect. Just get it started. That's the key. Get it going...then worry about the other stuff in your head later.

You could call it Anita's Reviews or something along those lines.

This is where you can practice writing reviews about affiliate products that you find at Clickbank or Paydotcom or any other affiliate program you want to write about and promote.

Next......

Once you have your blog set up, you'll want to see how well your promotions are doing. You'll want to see if anybody is even clicking your affiliate links. Well, here is how you do it:

Get a free URL tracker with analytics at cligs.com. The url is http://cli.gs/ ..... notice it's www.cli.gs not www.cligs.com

What you are doing here is taking your affiliate links that you get from your affiliate program and you are using the cli.gs links instead.

This does three things for you:

1. Cloaks your affiliate link so that your visitors can't shorten it and take away your commission
2. This will track how effective your blog is with getting people to click your links
3. You can see track where the clicks came from. This way as you start to promote your affiliate links in other areas of the net (twitter, facebook, etc) you'll know if the clicks came from your blog or other areas.

So...

No you've got your blog up...

You have set up your cli.gs account...

Now make a habit of writing just one review per week. After you start getting better and better at making new posts you'll have quite a blog going and it will get easier and easier.

The key here is focus!!!

Don't lose focus when you are working a full time job and have limited funds to get your web presence going. Just do this.

It's free

You'll learn a lot....

Later, once you've followed through on this method you can concentrate on other topics like traffic generation...

Bottom line: Get your FREE blog up and going now. Get 20 to 30 posts going and make them as high quality as you can. Once you have your "foundation" up...you can begin trying to figure out how to "better" monitize it. AFTER you do this, you can consider having your own sites with your own hosted WordPress blog....and all the other stuff that comes along with it.

Just my best advise.

Hope you take me up on it.
