How Much Do You Need to Invest to Setup a Blog ?
Let’s say you treat your blog like a part-time business, have you ever wonder the amount you need to invest as a start-up cost ?
I have worked out the sum for you. You be amazed how low cost it’s.
It’s such a small amount that, I would think most people can afford it.
“Now, everyone can have an online business !” … Yes !
a. Register a .com domain name – RM32 (USD10) / per year
b. Web hosting – 308 RM (USD96) / per year
c. WordPress blogging platform – FREE
d. WordPress Theme – FREE
Well, looking at the simple calculation above, you only need to pay about RM340 per year to start up a blog.
Isn’t that a very small amount comparing to starting up anything physical ?
