establish your own identity with another person's (replicated!) website.Choosing your domain host wisely is one of the very first steps in the internet marketing process

mechanism on your website from where people can sign up for your email

dedicated to getting people to sign up for your newsletter and has a
strong compelling element. You use a squeeze page to basically bribe
people to sign up for your newsletter by offering them a quality
product for free. Nothing wrong with this, it's the norm in internet

2. Squeeze pages
3. An auto responder service
