How Much Time and Money Does It Take to Invest in a New Blog?

How much time and money can you expect to invest in a new blog? We get this question a LOT from new bloggers wondering what to expect before diving into a  new business.

And the answer is… It depends.

How much are you willing to spend?

How quickly do you want to succeed?

Are you in the right headspace for this?

There is 100% a right and a wrong way to do this, and we want you to be on the right side.

We took MANY wrong turns in the first few months of starting our first blog and y’all, let me tell you…

We spent thousands of dollars more than we needed to.

I don’t want to use the term “wasted,” because ultimately everything that we spent and every failed lesson learned led to our successful path today.

But man… we really could have saved ourselves a LOT of time and money if we had some better guidance and expectations in the beginning.

In this episode, I’m going to share with you what kind of expectations that you can have about investing time and money into your new business…

  • In the first 1-3 months
  • The next few months after that
  • And everything else in between

Ultimately, it’s going to be up to you to decide, but we’re going to show you what we think is going to give you the biggest bang for your buck. 

We want to help you be informed to make those tough decisions as you start out and as you grow.

Your success depends on building the right foundation that works for you.
