chicagotribune.com — Ten years ago, starting a web-based business would have cost roughly $5 million to $10 million just to get the technology, such as servers and a fleet of software developers, before an entrepreneur could get an Internet company off the ground. Today, about $125 and your free time.

Don't know about this "weekend's work" kind of stuff, but I was able to get my site together spare nights and weekends over 2 months. The same thing would have taken a couple folks probably 3-6 months to get together plus a dedicated server or two. The avalability and value of free/cheap tools today is staggering. The problem today is more the amount of noise out there. Getting your audience to find you and competing for their attention is the real challenge.

My problem with web businesses is they always steal my ideas just before I was going to think of them.

And the legal fees. $125 is a joke compared to the hourly fees we pay for our attorney.

I had a $125 budget and I spent it on beer. Oh well guess I'll have to cancel that yacht order.

This is expensive compared to another program which requires virtually no investment.<a class="user" href="http://jdopportunity.blogspot.com/">http://jdopportunity.blogspot.com/</a>
