    $70.00 for a domain, and a $10 hosting package that was immediately blown into a $190 overage charge when I got listed on Persian Kitty within 12 hours.

      Nothing. I stole my content and hosted on my ISP's space.
      Fun... then I got nasty emails from someone who's content I was using.. so I decided to learn how things are supposed to be done.
      ..and I'm off.

                None. Sold an idea, then built off that.

                                I started with a $25 dial-up account, and a $300 thee pass scanner. I took photos of my girlfriend at the time.

                                Anyone remember the 3 pass scanner? IT would take 10 minutes to scan one photo ( and you could not do anything else on the computer).

                                I had a brand new P90 with 32 megs of RAM, I thought I was a PIMP. ( I still have the original computer on the office network)

                                This was back in 1995... I was living with my parents and in law school. I did not have $10 to my name. Was driving a 10 year old Toyota which had no radio or A/C.

                                Many how times have changed....


                                Anyone remember a site called - BLONDE 2 BLONDE ?

                                Those were the days....


                                Make big money on your Domains! Why wait 40 days to get paid with the other guys? Parked.com pays the most for your traffic, and cuts checks twice a month!

                                  $99.00 on Frontpage! lol My second worst investment I even made! lol
                                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                        I invested $3,000 to shooting own content and $1,000 to design and programming. It was 2000 year

                                                        Btw, the profit was $20,000 Not too bad for 12 months period

So, I guess my actual expenses were $70.00 for the domain and $45/m for my virtual host and about $200 or so for a SNAPPY 1.0. Oh, and two VCR's were given to me by a shopowner that I was friends with in exchange for future product, which was my first business deal.

Everything I saw looked scammy except for one company. I decided to try it out and made money from the first week with original marketing. I had no idea a webmaster board existed before December of 2002 nor did I ever talk to other webmasters.

She’s not mine. God has her set aside. She’s not mine. She’s His little girl, and she needs me to fight for her by keeping my eyes where they should be."

                                                                                                  Well my first domain was $72 usd for 2 years from internic. Only way they would sell it. Then came network solutions.

                                                                                                  My 486/pentium I do not remember was it called pentium 1 I do not think so I think it was just pentium. If I remember it had 64k ram and a 20mb hdd and 9600 baud modem my dial up was advertising 14.4 but I had already bought. no cd we used only floppys thank god for jazz and zip I think I paid $1,800

                                                                                                  My dial up from a guy who had an isp in his garage cost me $35

                                                                                                  webcam shows were only done by dialers ONLY !

                                                                                                  I think I spent about $5,000 oh yeah the hosting was $450 monthly on a t1 this guy had in his dorm room.

                                                                                                  So by the time I made any money I probably spent about $12,000 usd
