- I need hosting
- I need to create a billing system (I heard it costs close to $600, is this true? Are there ways around it?)
- I need to create an affiliate program (Are these hard to get coded?)

That's all I can think of so far. The content is coming for free so I have that side covered. I also assume I'm going to have to blow a few thousand in adverts just to get the ball rolling.

Prices, ideas, suggestions, etc etc. Please do share - I'm totally new to this.
