Weeks 1-4 Summary:
This is already more complicated then we planned and initial costs are a little more then expected, imagine that! We didn’t need an extra domain and spent too much time on YouTube. We will need also to get some sort of organizational system in the future, we are all over the place.
Total Costs: $279.80
Week 1
Summary: Brainstormed some businesses, picked Teachers Pay Teachers, Print on Demand, registered three domains, (only needed two) set up WordPress and plugins on one of them and configured some email addresses.
Cost: $90.04 for 2 years for three domains, $35.40 for Unlimited Shared hosting = $125.44 (Didn’t need one domain, so wasted $33.84)
