Editor's Notes
Not every web business requires every fixed or recurring cost.
In most situations, you probably already own a laptop or computer. SSL certification is not necessary for all businesses, nor is additional software, web design or coding. Any task you can complete yourself will also obviously trim your start-up costs and recurring budgetary needs.
In the case of a micro shoestring budget, you could get a business up and running online with just the following:
Domain name registration – Godaddy $0.99 to $2.99 (with a coupon code) for 1 year
Web hosting – Site5 is less than $5 per month
WordPress.org blog – Excellent free themes available
PayPal integration – Free to open account, currently pay $0.30 plus 2.9% or so per transaction
The previous example is a very common situation used by beginning web business owners. Your startup costs are less than $9. This assumes you will handle registering the domain name, forwarding it to your web hosting provider and building that website on a free WordPress.org theme.
The beauty of an Internet business is its scalability. You can start your business with this simple model and spend more money expanding at any time.
Before you rush out to buy a domain name and shop around for hosting, make a smart time investment performing your due diligence in research for the best options.
