First time poster so forgive the n00b-ness, but I was wondering what sort of time/cost investment goes in to this method?
I'm just looking at total investment to I can see what my cost per blog (so I can figure out return).
If we assume Shezboy's suggestion to use hostgator's Baby plan at $15 a month, plus $147 for Tweetattacks, plus $167 for WP Robot (I know there are codes and -ehem- other methods but I want a real world number), and finally domains ~$5 (figure 5 . info's at $1 a piece from godaddy). That brings us to $334 initial entry plus 2 more months ($30) for hosting since it is assumed that it takes 2-3 months to get sales going.
$364 is the static cash piece going in (high estimates).
So I have a couple of questions?
1. Does the $ amount cover everything?
2. What is the time to set up initially per blog?
3. What is the time required per blog per week to keep it going?
4. (Extra Credit) How many blogs and how many hours did it take to break even?
If someone would be willing to layout the time investment piece I think many would appreciate it.

To answer your questions:
1) Yeah that would cover everything but you don't need the full version of TA. I actually thought it was cheaper than that price too. Maybe the price has gone up recently?
2) A blog and Twitter account can be set up and completed inside of three hours although I do advise you not to rush them. The more you put in to them then the better then perfom which means you need less of them make your money back.
Choose the right niche, get the right Twitter followers and the right CPA offer and you can expect an easy $50 - $100 per day (per blog that is set up the right way)
3) Time required per blog per week... around 30 minutes
4) To break even, it depends on how your blogs perform. The better they are then the quicker you'll get your money back. There are a lot of variables when it comes to this issue and there is no 'text book' answer to it.
