What Is The Cost Of Starting An Online Business?

In this article I am going to discuss the costs of starting your own online business. If you are willing to put in the effort then it is easy to do and with less money than you might think.
In reality it doesn't take a lot of money to get started. You just have to be creative and passionate about what you're doing so that you have the motivation and drive to get things done.
However, there are some things that you will need to invest in if you are going to build a real sustainable online business.
Website
You need to have a website that people can visit and find out about you and what your business is about. This is your online shop. You will also need a website to create sales pages and for people to purchase and download your products.
In order to get a website up and running you will need to buy a domain name and then a hosting account for all your website files to be hosted. This would cost you less than $100 per year.
Auto Responder Account
The other thing you really will need is an auto responder account. This is an account that enables you to set up and schedule emails to go out on autopilot to people who sign up to your email campaign.
It is important to have a way of communicating with your prospects that you have control over. If you just rely on Google to bring you traffic then you will not see results as quickly as if you use an email campaign.
There are free auto responders that you can use but I would not recommend them. You need to have an account that you can rely on and paying for one will provide you with a far more professional service.
The cost of setting up an auto responder account is the most expensive part and will cost you $150 or more a year.
So you are looking at less than $300 to start your own business. This may seem a lot to some people but let's put this into perspective. This is a business that has the potential to earn you a full time income. There are no overheads or stock as you can work at home and you are providing digital products.
Is it worth that small investment to gain so much more?
