<div class="bbWrapper">One thing I&#039;ve learned is that software/app expenses are death by 1000 papercuts. You add one app/plugin here, get one marketing service there, before you know it you&#039;re running your books and notice you&#039;re dropping $400/mo on useless crap. <br /> <br /> Its really hard to give you a definitive list of services you need and should pay for, because its really business specific. Some businesses need a landing page builder, others don&#039;t. Some pay for SMS marketing, some don&#039;t.<br /> <br /> I would spend the first 6 months to a year focused on building what you need and testing things. Give each new service a couple of months to see if there&#039;s a return. After a year, plug everything into a spreadsheet and see what you can cut and what you need to keep.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I would suggest you break these down into <b>monthly </b>and one-time costs. For example, the website theme is a one-time purchase, but website hosting is monthly.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">AND go the other direction too with your numbers ....... what value can i provide, what is the gross margin ...... what infrastructure can i put together for that and still be profitable to the needed level</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">&quot;My Question is: How Can I be fairly certain about Monthly Recurring/Operating Costs so that I can start, run and sustain a online business ? &quot;<br /> <br /> Um. You can be certain by just looking at the prices of what you want. Like others said, don&#039;t register anything for 10 years. Your whole question is actually just too analytical for no good reason.<br /> <br /> Simplify this. Way too much overthinking going on. Here&#039;s what you do:<br /> 1. Look up the price of a domain and hosting. Pay for them.<br /> 2. Buy a theme<br /> 3. Build your website<br /> <br /> If it fails, try something else. Repeat.</div>
