How much does it cost you to start up a website from scratch?

[minimo88]

I wanted to know what is the average the BHW members spend on their sites. From start to finish (till it is ranking)

So if you could reply and tell me how much you guys spend then it will help me out by not spending too much as I am planning to launch a MNS site in a couple of weeks.


Your numbers don't have to be exact.

One more thing, you have no tools at all, you can buy services. (my situation)

I wanted to know how much members spend in these areas for a micro niche site:

Hosting and domain
SEO - imagine you don't have any tools and just
Articles
Other - such as outsourced work

On Average I spend $0.00 and host it on Blogger or Wordpress.com.

 

[jon_xx_x]

Few bucks for hosting.
$16 for 4 articles.
Then will usually test out some BST services on it.
Depends how long it takes to get it to #1.

Well if you choose a CMS platform like a build most of my websites with then I can give you a general figure although you can make it cost almost as low or as high as your budget is set:

A Wordpress website can cost about $250- $1,500 to create with customization and setup.

A Drupal website can cost anywhere from $500- $50,000. Just depends on how large your project becomes.

A Joomla website can cost anywhere from $1,000- $10,000

The cost of a web project depends on how large of a project you have so there is no one set cost number..

Enjoy the stats I found though

Well if you knew what a micro niche site was, you'd know the don't plan on spending thousands of dollars on each site.

Is there a service you use for articles, because that sounds fantastic.

 

[xboxps3wow]

$20 on domain and hosting.
Write the main content myself.
Use tools I already have to get backlinks or do manually.
Sometimes buy articles at about $5 a pop.

So... usually no more than $50...

 

[TZ2011]

-Hosting per year 96 usd on hostgator
-domain names ~ 8 usd
-On same hosting can install more than 10 sites, all alone, mostly wordpress, so price 0.
Advanced in changing them and implementing various elements on the way how I like, so price 0 again. Graphic work also not a problem, no need to pay.
-Articles from internet, making my rewriting from few different articles, so cost 0
-SEO me again, scrapebox helping a lot, and sometimes taking gigs form fiverr but not too much, mostly time is problem.
All in all, very cheap. Mentioning thousands is funny, story for rich business owners who don't know shit about anything. Even if you don't have knowledge or time to do it alone, outsourcing of ALL elements can be max 150-250 usd per month, correct me if I'm wrong.

10 bucks or less for a new domain. that's all! I never outsource site content, it's for lazy asses and "hands off" business men with money to burn.

 

[twilightofidols]

Hosting - $9 a month
Domain - $8 a year w/ prviacy
Wordpress - FREE
Template - FREE (I modify CSS by hand)
Content - FREE (Scrape, rewrite, don't be lazy.... dude's in Nepal will rarely write you a bang up article for $1.50)
Images - $0 - $10 depends if I create my own in photoshop, get public domain images, or purchase stock photos

The most important thing, keyword research = invaluable.

Overall it costs more time than it does money, and you all know what time equals.

 

[ADHD-Dude]

How good is hosting worth $9 a month? how many domains you host there?

 

[psteve710]

My only cost is the articles.i spend $1 per article, each day 15-20 articles.

Where do you get your articles? 1$ per article, Let me know please I need billions of articles

I honestly didn't read his entire most and I thought he needed figured for a serious website not a micro niche site so my stats are way off.

Micro sites are easy to launch haha cost like nothing.. just use a free template and wordpress hosting.

 

[aReJay]

Domain - $9 - $19
Hosting - Free (plenty of servers already)
Articles - $3.5/pc (usually x50 or x100)

My time - $300/hr (this seems to be the one most people are forgetting)
