I want to incorporate a small business im starting, but, I dont want to pay someone a hefty fee to do it for me? Where can I get the documents myself to do it myself?

Get Nolo's "Incorporate Your Business" (link below). This should give you everything you need.
You can hire a Legal Document Assistant (called "Independent Paralegal" in some states) to do this relatively inexpensively (probably somewhere around $350-500). Just make sure that if your state requires some sort of licensing or registration, the LDA/paralegal you hire has the required qualifications. This ensures you are getting someone with the proper education and experience (and bonding in some states).
There are many benefits to incorporating, and the "double taxation" can be easily avoided with the aid of a good bookkeeper or CPA. Check out "Own Your Own Corporation" from the Rich Dad/Poor Dad series (link below).
Good luck.

Yes, you can do it yourself. First you need to determine if incorporating is right for you. Are you sure that a Limited Liability Company or a Limited Partnership won't do the trick? They avoid the double taxation problem that accompanies true incorporation, and they provide just about the same liability protection.
Do a little research first, buy a book or two. I bet NoLo Press has an book on the topic.

Sure. Go to your state's official website and click the BUSINESS link.

You can do it yourself without hiring an attorney or paying a lot of money.
