Startup Costs Required to Create your Own Review Website with Score

1.  $56 for Web hosting.  You need to purchase a domain name to have a website.  That’s why I recommend Fatcow.com.  WithFatcow.com you get a free domain name, unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, host unlimited domains, unlimited MySQL dbs and more.  Currently Fatcow.com has 40% off sale which makes this a great deal.

2.  $0 for Wordpress/BuddyPress.  Wordpress is completely free open source and so is BuddyPress.  You can find both at WordPress.org or BuddyPress.org.  Fatcow.com also offers free one click installs which you can install WordPress in 5 minutes.

3.  $40 for WordPress/BuddyPress Theme.  This is a one time fee to purchase the Score BuddyPress theme.  There are no membership fees, no subscription fees, no reoccurring fees and no hidden fees.  After you purchase the theme it totally belongs to you.

4.  -$150 in Advertising Credits.  Fatcow.com web hosting gives you free Advertising credits to market your website in search engines.  You get $75 in Google Adword credits, $50 in Facebook Ad credits and $25 in Yahoo/Bing Adcenter credits.  This is totally free to you.

So if you add up all the costs required to startup your Review Website:

Startup costs = (Webhosting + WordPress/BuddyPress + BuddyPress Theme) = $96

But if you calculate in the free Advertising credits from Fatcow.com, your startup cost will be:

( Startup costs + Advertising Credits) = -$54.

So you actually don’t pay anything to startup your Social Networking Review Website.   This is an awesome deal to create such a professional website.    The best thing is that there are tons of support from the WordPress/Buddypress theme community and also from Themeforest.  If you have problems, you can just post a question on the forum and someone will answer you.
