Money Two Oh

You’ll need this

Wednesday, 09. 3. 2008  –  Category: The Domain Book

You’ll need a few things to get started. Thankfully, most of them are either free or acceptably cheap. In most cases, paid options have a free counterpart, though it’s often less easy to use, less flexible or slower than the paid option. This is more true in some cases than in others. Don’t worry. I’ll help you with the choice case by case.

Good news: you can choose in each case, depending on how much money are you willing to spend right now, and upgrade to paid options later on, if you’re making good. Which you will, if you keep working on it.

The most important thing you’ll need is self-confidence and determination.

Trust me. I’m not a life coach or anything. But I know that, if you want to do something, you can do it. No matter if your goal is to build an online empire or to earn a few bucks and learn a couple of TPDUK’s (”Things People Don’t Usually Know). You can do it. Either with my help or without it. It’s you, and only you, who will do it. You don’t need anybody else, not me, not John Chow, not anybody. It’s you against the World. Both John and I are suckers, since we are only writers. (No offence given, John). You can be the next big thing, if you want to. You just have to want it, and work hard to get it.

Here’s the rest of the things you will need. We will go down one by one in the following pages.

A computer with Internet access
Budget: you already have one, don’t you? Then it’ll be free for you.

A host
Budget: anything from free to several hundred dollars a month.

A primary domain
Budget: about ten bucks a year.

A publisher account in AdSense or alternative
Budget: totally free. Actually, they will pay you!

A powerful multisite CMS, blog software or other content management script
Budget: you can get it for free.

A feed parser, content generator and/or content rewriter
Budget: from free to a hundred bucks or more.

A keyword research tool
Budget: from free to $60 / month.

A domain registrar to, obviously, register domains
Budget: around ten bucks a year each domain.

That’s the basic stuff you’ll need by now. As said, we will take a deep look at each one.

This is Chapter One of The Domain Book. Read the rest if you haven’t yet!
