You can use Netobject tool to create your website, you can buy this for $50 only.

Once you completed your design, then you have to point all your domains to your website. That's one way of driving traffic to your site. You may also advertise your website to get more traffic.

Hope this help.

....I use free redirector service where I have my domains hosted, does your ISP have a free redirector service? all you need to do then is log into your account into the Redirector area and fill in the details they ask for, kind of self explanatory, you can only use the redirector for one affiliate program though, but you could use what you consider the best one for now while developing your website.... i.e. If you go to forsaleon.com, I have used the redirector there.

If you invest eventually into something like Macromedia Dreamweaver for creating web pages it will be worth your while

If you look for a website that has free templates, this is something elseyou can do this is an example of a site you can look at http://freesitetemplates.com

If you want to learn html then this site is good

Hope this gives you some ideas....

You can use a frame, so the domain name still shows in the address bar, but the affiliate site loads.

Use the following code for the bottom frame. Name it index.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>Title</TITLE>
<FRAMESET BORDER=0 FRAMESPACING=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 ROWS="0,*">
<FRAME NAME="header" SRC="topframe.html" SCROLLING=NO MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" FRAMEBORDER=NO BORDER="0" NORESIZE>
<FRAME NAME="body" SRC="http://www.domainname.com" SCROLLING=AUTO MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
</FRAMESET>
</HEAD>
</HTML>

You'll need to replace "Title" with your own Title. I usually just put the domain name and small description or keywords. You'll also need to replace the http://www.domainname.com with the full url the affiliate gave you. Be sure to include your affiliate ID info or you won't get credit for sales.

Use the following code for the top frame. Name it topframe.html

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>Home</TITLE>
<BASE TARGET="_parent">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#0066FF" TEXT="#000000" TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Here is an example. I used vstore on this one.

Thank you for that, But I am still a little lost on it.

I used notepad to make the code. It's just basic HTML. Just be sure to name the files correctly, like I mentioned.

Use an FTP program to upload these two files to the main directory (folder) on your hosting account.

Here is a list of FTP programs to try.

The free ones are good, but you'll want a commercial one if you use it frequently.

I think you also need some basics.
Try http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimer.html

or search something like "HTML for beginners" or so, in any search engine.

for basic html I would recommend using notepad if you don't already have an editor and following the examples at htmlgoodies.com, this is by far the best set of tutorials I've found on the web for learning the basics.

if you don't want to learn html, then try looking on cnet for a free editor.

hope this helps
