starting a membership site
 

is it that hard?:helpme

you need a company for processing, that's the first step.

first step is a good idea, uniqe and content to start and update

then you can worry about billing

Good place to get a general understanding...

i mean you need to incorporate yourself (dunno if you call it like that) so you can use billing at all, if i'm correct? :helpme

if you need a general understanding, you shouldn't bother wasting money starting a paysite.

start off with premium avs sites

seriously how hard would it be to get a domain, server, billing and leased feed/pics and start your own site?

All it takes is a big bag of money.

why?

I think it could be done with $2500

It's not "hard" to do those things.

It IS hard to do those things for a profit, every month.

You've got competition, unforseen problems, etc etc etc. Not to mention you need a ton of traffic, and while you can buy it yourself you'll ultimately need the help of others.

Nothing in life is easy.

I think you forgot a zero in your figure, (2500=25,000)

:thumbsup

You'd be wasting your time trying to get a paysite setup with $2500. You have to spend $750 just to get setup with billing, let alone content and design.

Thats what i thought in the begining. However much you need times it by four and that will be a more realistic number.

go to iBill, they work well w/startups
