The most expensive is the hosting of the galleries, we seem to burn a lot of BW with them. But getting down the prices of BW and even with the new hardware we install next week we can afford it. Plus is brings down the cost for the other side of the business.

The next cost is staff and then design, both affordable and as we grow it will need more investment.

I just started this thread to see what people thought.

I think one of the biggest cost would be promotion to find new affiliates, but no way you can do without that.

Reak, at the moment most people will find me around, as we grow we will take on people in different time zones to get more cover.
