1) You’ll need a domain name
A domain name is like a brand to identify yourself and your business. It is an address where people can find you online. Though there are few types of domain name extension available, it is advisable to get one that end with ‘.com’ if you intend to build your bussiness. I beleive that it is important to have a domain name as it can also help to create trust, credibility and give a good impression on product or services that you are offering to your reader.
You can get domain name from sites such as godaddy and namecheap and if you are lucky, you might get the domain that you want at discounted price
2) A webhost
If you are serious about your business, consider getting yourself a webhost to host your domain name. A freehost such as blogspot or wordpress might be ok if you’re doing personal blog but it is an absolute NO NO if you’re doing business. Reputable web hosting companies include hostgators and bluehost
3) An autoresponder

You can use it to generate reply to opt-in reader, send newsletter or broadcast your services and product. Two autoresponders companies that you might want to consider are aweber and getresponse.
