    in a nutshell do your research thoroughly and make sure you budget on everything, allow yourself a grace period of about six months and you may stumble on the billions otherwise you will have to be content on survival.

    You need a promotion for your website.. let others know about your online store...without that you will not be able to receive any orders.. Can you tell me is your website ready to be published on the web?

    SEO is a slow but steady process. If you want to generate sales right away as soon as your website is fully functioning, try learning about PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising. PPC can help your online business grow tremendously...you just need to take the right steps. I'm currently doing well now with PPC...4 figures a month isn't that bad. If you want to start learning about PPC, I suggest you go over at http://www.ppcacademy.com/freetips

    i suggest you offer a service or product for free to begin with, build up a userbase before you decide to charge, its low risk, unlikely to fail if the product is good enough

    Don't pay more than ten bucks for hosting. Especially since your starting out and learning the biz.

    Hi,

    Launchin a website offering seo and web design service won't cost you much.

    The cost including (domain + web hosting+web design) would be around $150-200.Not more than this.

    Go for simple web design having 5 or 6 pages like

    Home Page
    About Us Page
    Web Design Page
    Seo Page
    Contact Us Page

    After launching it, try to capture local area market.

    For instance, if you are living in West Palm Beach, South Florida,then add title of your website as West Palm Beach Web Design Company or West Palm Beach Seo Company.

    In Seo and web design field being a big fish in small pond is more beneficial than targeting being a small fish in big sea(targeting high competitive keywords like seo services,web design services etc).

    Targeting local area will result in faster search engine ranking and more success than going for big competitive keywords.

    For Offline
    Advertise in Local newspaper
    Classified sites

    Online

    Facebook marketing

    Yotube submission

    Seo and Link Building on regular basis.

    Is it realistic to say that you can get 25 clients in 3 months or better to say in 6 months?

    You would need a domain name(namecheap.com or godaddy.com) which costs around 10 dollars a year and a hosting(hostgator.com) company which costs about 19 dollars per month.

    Pretty much all you need to do is have is have a product that a particular targetted demographic want,find a way to get it to them,and get ready to deal with their questions and objections on a regular basis

    That all in all does not cost more than $500
