Quote:Honestly, if you want to be really careful and have a good site to run, you should gather around 200$ for the start of it, maybe 150$ and start from there. This isn't a cheap thing, but from the looks of your dedication, it seems you could do well.
That seems accurate. Many thanks mate!
Quote:Firstly, I wouldn't use PayPal. What if one day you get limited and can't pay your invoices?
Apply for a debit card, depending on the country you can have them starting from 13. I had my first one at 14 and since it was a debit I couldn't overspend nor apply for a overdraft.
I would consider at least a years worth of hosting in advance, the rest can all be done for free if you know how to manage a forum. Soon enough, traffic starts coming in which can generate revenue from advertisements since many pay by CPM. If you want WHOIS protection, that'll cost you extra. Many people use fake data but I wouldn't recommend that especially if you want to take the legitimate route.
Can you make payments for all things such as hosting, domains, advertising, themes, and all the rest of it with a debit card? I know a lot of sites offer credit card payment methods, but I wasn't sure if debit cards worked the same. I have a debit card. My PayPal account is in debt of $200, so I won't be using that. I was just inquiring. Thanks for the info'.
