Hi @archiehface, welcome to AffiliateFix and to The Dojo 
If you are new to the business, it's recommendable to read the Affiliate- and CPA-manuals of K:
What is Affiliate Marketing? (START HERE) | Affiliate Marketing Forum | AffiliateFix
The information therein you will need also later as the basics of our biz
Have a great time and enjoy the forums

Hello @archiehface and welcome to the AffiliateFix family! It's great to have you here!
That's all good, all you need to do is develop a plan to kick start your new business.
Everyone has to start somewhere. Be active, ask loads of questions, take action, and be committed. That's how it gets done!
Use this forum as a mentor. It's full of members at every level of experience which makes for many balanced perspectives for a Newbie to learn from. Take the time to read through the forums here and see for yourself that the Newbies achieving success have actually dedicated themselves to success in this industry and reaping the rewards by following the advice of fellow AffiliateFix members, being dedicated to success, putting the time in, and making the necessary investments. You cannot shortcut the learning curve. It goes slower for some and it goes faster for others. Everyone has their own intellectual absorption rates, skill development pace, commitment level, and budgets.
You are a FIX'er now and that means you have the world at your feet with IM. Here are a few suggestions:
Read and learn through extensive reading in this community. Select one vertical. one tracker, and one traffic source. Learn from your fellow members here to master each one of them (a couple of months). Then you can expand and replicate your successes.
As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement. Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.
Read
Read through the various areas of the forum to learn about the types of marketing available for your new business. Make a list of all the types of marketing and take some notes along the way. Then determine which area of marketing with which you will start your journey.
Do this to select an area of marketing to start, as well, do this to select a tracker, a traffic source, and to select a vertical.
Then read up on the affiliate networks and select two to begin with that will serve your needs and the types of offers you would like to promote. Put your application in and they will call you for an interview. Be professional and be prepared to answer some questions about how you will promote offers, do you have a website, are you a Newbie, etc. Please note, if you join the Dojo, we have a thread there that can offer assistance in getting accepted to some of the networks.
Study
Now that you have selected a basis to begin, read all of the threads in this forum that relate to your initial selections so that you have a rudimentary understanding of their features and benefits.
Invest
You will require some investment. A VPS server, domains, traffic, landing pages, etc. You will need a budget for daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. This will change over time and you will need to update it often so that you know exactly what your costs and earnings are.
Implement
This is where it all starts to earn. You must now begin to implement what you have established as your foundation for your business.
Here is some advice and guidance that will help you establish your initial goals:
Make sure you complete the following first.
Every business needs:
1. a plan
2. a schedule for research, learning, and execution
3. a budget.
Remember to read through our WIKI and get to know the basics as well as some of the buzz words in the industry.
I also recommend reading the following thread:
As a Newbie, What Stops You From Getting Started
Here is a set of immediate goals:
1. Get a VPS
2. Select a vertical
3. Select a tracker
4. Select a couple of networks and get your approval
5. Select a traffic source
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly)
8. Be very active in this forum by researching, asking questions, helping others when you are able.
As well, I highly recommend you join the DOJO as it is full of great tools and contributions for successful marketers. Click the banner below to learn more.
Remember This! : Nothing has to be perfect before you start. Read & study, but invest and implement at the same time. You cannot learn all of it from reading and studying. A great deal of your learning comes from implementing!
Good Luck!

I was wondering if I could start with shared hosting and then move on to a VPS as I have limited funds .In a sense I want
to start on some thing small and as I learn move on to the bigger stuff ,have you any advice

thank you very much
I don't think anyone will ever recommend shared hosting. They are too slow, the IP's may be banned with others sharing the server, spammers notoriously use them and rev up the CpU's until they get banned. There is nothing good about a shared server.
This is a business and you have to be able to compete in the market. At the very least, get a cheap VPS for around $30 a month. For that you can usually get 2 CPU's, several gig's of RAM, cPanel, WHM, unlimited bandwidth, and a host of other options.
Also. you need to learn to manage a VPS from the beginning. It's important to learn to use the tools of a VPS.
thank you i needed to hear that I guess I was being a bit of a cheapskate ,looks as if I may have to fork out .Is there anyway I could learn to manage a vpn on this site or are there external resources I could use ,thanks
Most all of the VPS hosting providers have extensive FAQ's as well as extensive help centers. I use BlueHost for my VPS's and they have been very helpful. There are plenty of good and reliable hosting companies, some represented in our
Resources area. VPS's are easy to learn. There isn't a lot that you need to be concerned about. You can set up alerts, upgrade databases, and such and most of it is a just a click or two to perform. your cPanel is where you can set up your email addresses and your sub domains and such. Web Host Manager, or WHM, is a powerful program that allows administrative access to the back end of cPanel. This is where database upgrades are done, and where you control your spam filters and such. When you log into these for the first time, you may feel there is a lot there, there is. however, think of it all as a new software program you can have great success with. All of this is easier to learn than building macros in Word, Access, or PowerPoint.
THANK YOU you have been a great help,I have already started looking ,I will be in contact if I need your help again ,,once again thank you.....

Hi, @archiehface
Everyone beat me here and gave terrific advice, so I'll just say, WELCOME!
P.S. There are such things as fully managed VPSs but they are a lot more expensive.
