Hey BHW members,
I am thinking about running a website.
Would you like to share the expenses of maintaining one?
 
Quality content is what costs the most nowadays.
 
Expenses, like what?

Domain name: around $10 for a fresh one. Many more $$$ for a quality expired one.
Web design: Depending on your requirements, you can invest from $2-$300 to $xxxx (even more).
Content: Quality content costs. The niche is also very important (for example, a 3k words article from a general niche will costs less than a well-researched 3k words article from the lawyer niche).
Backlinks: The quality of your backlinks will be in accordance with the size of your budget. Same here, the niche is important.

Generally speaking, you should have two budgets: 1 for the begin (creating website, etc) and one for backlinks, content, etc (this should be a monthly one).
 
Expenses of running a website differs according to several factors, the type of website you want to run too will determine your website.
 
For website you need to invest like this

1. Domain
2. Hosting
3. Website development (just learn to use wordpress or blogspot, and this will be free)
4. Content (if you can write yourself then its free/just invest your time)
5. Marketing (marketing means there is no use of any website until you have traffic to monetize your site. to bring traffic you have to market your website. so learn seo and social media marketing for this)
 
1) Choose the right niche
2) Make a great structure and site's plan
3) Write an excellent content so far
4) Build good backlinks

Get money and fame :D
 
there are lots of things you have to consider if you want to earn money from it. Can you tell us what your purposes are?

How long is a piece of string?

You can go absolutely free up to many thousands. It depends what you are triyng to do.

A basic presence website should only cost a few hundred per annum to put on a flyer or business car email signature etc.

A website whihc brings in money is prob going to cost you at least a few hundred $ per annum.

A full ecommerce website selling a wide range of widgets with seo will be in the order of $thousands.

The website itself is usually the cheapest part - getting traffic and people to visit it can cost a lot more - usually thousands or many hours hard work.
 
Web hosting.
Domain.
Theme.
designer if applicable.
Maintenance.
Content.
SEO/marketing.
 
It depends...

But guaranteed expenses are:

1. Domain - approximately from 0.99 cents to 12 EUR a years
2. Hosting - from 2 EUR to 100+ EUR depends what server you need for your website. If its simple website with low traffic than shared 2EUR hosting will do the job.


Other expenses:
Plugins(if need paid plugins), content (if hire writer), developer expenses (if cant code yourself).
All these can be the most expensive part and it all depends, from 100 to thousands of EURO...
 
It depends. What kind of website you are willing to run?
 
The server and domain are the only true costs. Outside of that marketing and labor.
