recurring monthly costs as an IM?

9 replies
Hi all,

I am curious.... other than hosting costs that everyone pays, what other monthly costs do you all have for tools/software/whatever do you have?

I see a lot of great tools out there, and many of them have an upfront fee, but many others have a monthly cost. Care to share what you pay for each month to support your IM career?

    You must have mass email functionality. They all cost about $30 a month.

    Most people here use aWeber.

    Personally I use the broadcast message feature on my Ning Network. I prefer to use Ning because many people who use my royalty free music enjoy sharing their videos with me, and so the community features are amazing for that and Ning happens to have an email ability. I pay $30 a month for Ning.

    If you can do your own Web set up and coding, then the only truly mandatory costs are Web hosting and a mass email provider.

    From there you will have variable costs like advertising and product/content creation.

    No sign up required to try my music in your video.

    Just click to listen and download. No cost to try, only pay when you publish.

      I'll look into Ning! Thanks

      I pay for web hosting, domain names, word press template subscription that I don't use any more and I think thats it. The WSOs I've bought are one time sells. Hopefully I can make some passive income, I haven't made a cent. But I'm not going to give up.

      So... to follow-up with another question: I would assume hosting would eat somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-$20/month, and e-mail autoresponder another about $30/month. Does that mean you pay the rest to SEO tools?

      Aweber offers the first month for $1.00 then the recurring charge is $19.00 per month. My site is externaly hosted by a private Internet communityof which I am a member. I pay a monthly recuring membership fee and besides hosting I receive a ton of benifits.
