Heck, I was out pimping myself with trading cards for my site all weekend! (Though, I don't know how well that would work for affiliate marketers vs. solo webgirls... hehehe)

I really love to try different ways of marketing but my prob is that I don't have any knowledge in programming and don't know how to start those sites.

Are there any site that offers guides to develop these sites?? What knowledge should be needed, $ needed, skills, etc..
