Put up a Web site

You'll need a computer with a modem. This will allow you to access the Internet and any number of free services available on the Internet. Some companies even offer free Internet access, although you most likely will be connecting to the Internet through what is known as an ISP, or Internet Service Provider. Most ISPs charge about $20 a month and many will also host a Web site for free.

What is hosting? Some computer somewhere needs to "house" your site. That often comes at a cost, but several sites such as www.geocities.com or www.yahoo.com offer free Web sites that you can build yourself. You will be limited as to how you can make the site look and the Web address will be given to you, which means your campaign site might end up with an address such as http://www.members.home.com~tulsa.
IMPORTANT: Put your campaign Web site address on ALL material. That way people know where to go for more information.

While you're on the hunt for freebies, be sure to also nab a free e-mail account if you do not currently have an e-mail address. Yahoo and Hotmail offer free e-mail addresses.
