Invest in 1Shopping Cart or something like it. 1Shopping Cart has auto responders. It has a database. It has all the other e-business tools that you need. 1Stop Shop--it's perfect for technophobic people just like me. If you're afraid of technology and you don't want to do the technological work yourself use 1Shopping Cart.
It'll cost you somewhere between $40 and $80 a month depending on the type of service you have. For 80 bucks a month, you can have an affiliate program, auto responders, digital uploads, database and all sorts of different e-business tools that you'll need for the rest of your life, doing business online.
Audio Generators
AudioGenerator is less than $1 a day at $29.95 a month. It will pay for itself ten times over when you have two or three audios online, because more than the cost of a full month, a good webmaster will charge you that much just to put up your own audio.
If you use Windows Media Player for the audio, or Quick Time or some other type of audio, you're not going to be as lightning fast with head snapping speeds as with the Flash technology that we use, and it's very, very quick--this type of Flash technology. It's not your everyday Flash technology. It's optimized for the web and for your voice and we use our telephone.
Ask Database
And then, the Ask Database which we do recommend. You don't have to use it, but we do recommend it, cause it's so darn cheap to use and that's $29.95 a month.
What's the total cost?
With a webmaster, hosting service, shopping cart, and audio generator for anywhere from $100 a month to $150 a month, you are in business. That's really what it costs. It doesn't cost much more. Yes, it will cost some money to put up some web pages, but those are not ongoing fees. Look at about $100 to $150, maybe busting $200 a month budget to be in business.
I do not know of a business that is that affordable. If you have any type of retail establishment, the rent alone will be from 10 to 20 times that. So figure about $150 a month and you are in business using Audio Generator and Ask Database.
Instant Video Generator is coming for $49.95 a month if you have Audio Generator and want Video as well. Together, I mean, imagine 50 bucks a month with both Audio Generator and Instant Video Generator. The Ask Database, as I mentioned is less than 30 bucks a month. 1Shopping Cart, hosting--the templates are free and Web Work really is about 40-50 bucks an hour--sometimes more, but not much more.
So, hopefully that answers the question of what to budget for and the monthly budget, as I mentioned--figure about 150 to 200 bucks. It can be as low as a hundred, but what's an extra $50 a month? You know go for it. Get a little higher end database. Get a little higher package of 1Shopping Cart. And then the rest is just using the audios, using the Ask Database and using the templates and web pages that you have access to.
If you want to hire a copywriter, obviously it costs more, but in most cases, with teleseminars, you don't need one. The email templates will be plenty for you to get started. Good luck
