You’ve probably been told that starting a blog is cheap. It can be cheap and even as little as $0 dollars per month.<\/p>\n
You want to be a serious blogger<\/strong><\/p>\n There will come a point that you want to migrate off the free train or you just want to start on the right path.\u00a0What tools do you need? What’s a popular\/useful plugin\/theme\/etc? What about hosting\/backups\/performance\/security?<\/p>\n You want to start or started a blog to make money. We’ve all heard the phrase “you gotta spend money to make money”. Do you know what you should spend your money on?<\/p>\n What Premium Products should you have?<\/strong><\/p>\n MONTHLY COST =<\/strong> $81 w\/o forms $98 with form builder<\/p>\n For most we might talking some significant chunk of change. I’ve only lightly touched on some premium plugins you might want to use.<\/p>\n How to do get around some of this cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n You could make friends with those who may have those plugins at first. But you don’t want to start asking everyone and their brother and then end up becoming the theme\/plugin mooch. I have mooched plenty in my day. But when I “borrow” a plugin I either stop using it after time or if I do I buy my own license.<\/p>\n There may be another option and I wonder who would be interested.<\/strong><\/p>\n The option is similar to what I am doing when I build a website for customer. Whether it’s a custom site or a Quick and Dirty website. When I deliver something to a client they are usually having me host it for them. But they also get the benefit of all the plugins I used to build their site and can then change their site themselves or still have me change things.<\/p>\n Would you want a package like I laid out above but with even more premium plugins included at 55% less than it would cost you to put it together.<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of having me build you a website I could give you the ability to use all the same tools I use and save a SIGNIFICANT amount of money.<\/p>\n Let me know and use the form below:<\/p>\n [gravityform id=”4″ title=”false” description=”false” ajax=”true”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’ve probably been told that starting a blog is cheap.
