Hi

Just reading the sales page and even though Chris mentions he doesn't spend a dime on advertising there must surely be some spending involved in the blueprint.

There is a mention of software and other things.

Does anyone know how much these other things add up to so I can get a picture.

Thanks.

Depends on what you are associating with costs. You are going to need a domain ($9-15) one time fee, and a domain host $10 a month. If you want to collect name to build a list, you will need a list host such as Aweber or getresponse for $19 a month. All in all $30 a month

Or you could go to a free website type host such as Weebly.com or Blog (CMS) such as wordpress. The problem of course is that you are limited to the control you have over the site and design but it can be done.

For instance, you could start blogging about an affiliate product and make constant updates to the blog. Better yet, you could setup a blog and a weebly site and have your blog link back to your site. This is course what you would do if you had absolutely no budget. You'll get backlinks this way and then you can use article marketing for free advertising.

So can it be done? Yes. Would you want to...probably not as it would take you a little longer and you are going to be limited in the styles of design and what you can do/change/modify.

Again, if cost are an issue and you can afford the $30 a month fee addressed above, you could always go with a free website editor such as NVU that will allow you to easily create you first website where you have more control..Hope that helps

You don't need to spend $10 a month for hosting. Don't fall into the trap of spending more in the beginning than you have to that many other newbies do.

Hi

I get hosting from hostmonster.com & its like $5 a month - you can also search for a coupon to use at hostmoster to get it a little cheaper. If you get a hostmoster account you'll get your first domain for free AND they your details are kept private with them too. They have the absolute best hosting I could find - I researched this quite thoroughly a couple of weeks ago & couldnt beat their price vs space, speed etc. I also got a phone call from them when I joined, welcoming me & asking if they could help me. (I'm in Australia so that's pretty impressive!)
You can add unlimited domains to hosting with them so it doesnt matter how may sites you have you still on the pay the $5ish per month.

In Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate - there aren't any other costs involved, everything else can be done for free.

Question on that: If I can have unlimited subdomains, can I also set up blogs for those subdomains?

Thanks

$10 per month for hosting?? That is too expensive. I only cost $33 for 14 month hosting. You can find the hosting company and the coupon in my blog (see my signature).
Moreover, I really don't suggest you join any program requires a membership fee. You can calculate how much will you cost for several months.
I would rather cost a couple of hundreds for one time on a proven program and put some effort on that.

Absolutely! They arent really subdomains, they are domains in their own right - they are "addon domains". All you do is buy the domain you want ($10 for a year) make it "addon" to your main domain & put whatever you want on it. When you addon a domain it has its own url.

I have my main domain stef-recommends.com & that is the main domain that is hosted. All my other domains are "addon" to that main domain - like newbiesdiary.com - it has its own url & has a blog, I can put a forum on there - anything I want. Another one is dirttrackcowboys.com.au - thats also a "addon" & it has a blog, forum & a gazillion pages (well it seems like it sometimes LOL). If you open your webbrowser & type in Dirt Track Cowboys you'll see it is a complete site & you have no indication that it is an "addon".

I have quite a few sites, but only pay hosting for one. You can get some great deals for hosting if you look around, make sure you check how many addon domains you can have, how many emails, how much space, & everything else you get & compare them all. I found hostmonster to be the best price & most everything is unlimited. I also have a need for CPanel so that plays an important factor for me. With CPanel it usually comes with Fantastico which means you can add a blog or forum or ecommerce cart & lots of other stuff with the click of your mouse.

Now please - I'm not trying to spam my websites to you - just using them as an example so you can see how this works.

I only pay $5/month for hosting & it really also depends on what you get for your money, there's little point getting really cheap hosting if you can only host half a dozen addons or you only get a couple of email addys or you are restricted with hosting space, on saying this I haven't checked yours out. These are all the things to be kept in mind when choosing hosting plans.

Confessions of a Lazy Super Affiliate is an incredibly cheap 1 time price - it isn't a membership site - in fact you are able to buy Chris's complete collection (still for an incredibly low price) & that gives lifetime free access to any new VIP reports he produces & he has quite a few in store for us.
