Where should I look to set up a simple website to sell my ebook/info product?

Simple, easy and inexpensive is what I'm interested in.

Basically I'm looking to create a simple one page site with a "buy" button on the bottom (or as I read about yesterday, a link to paypal to buy). I'm not good at all the "website" set-up stuff.

So many "gurus" say you have to "offer a free multi step tutorial or course, get email addresses, build your list, work your back-end, etc." ... but GEEZE! Can't I just start with the basics and build up from there? To me, the basics would be:

1. create a one page sales letter with a "buy" button
2. advertise, test (maybe adwords or ebay?)
3. convert a few visitors to buyers (easier said than done of course, so maybe I should say "make a sale ... or not, and learn from it"?)

I'm just looking to get started. Simple, easy and inexpensive. Just the basics, and then improve the site, sales, from there.
