i helped one newb in the last year who spent around $130 for hosting a month and that was it. within 2 months, he was doing $1500 per month and within 6 months was making over $6000. it can be done. the thing that made him stand out from most newbs is that he really listened, he kept track of all his results, made only one change at a time and he took his time with everything he did so read any and all rules and figured out what he was doing so it was done right the first time.
