FAQ
How much can I expect to make?
We are careful not to make promises about how much you can earn. The
amount of money that your sites makes will depend on the amount of time
and energy you are willing to put in. Obviously, if you spend 20 hours
a week promoting your site you are likely to make more than if you
spend just two. Although it is your job to promote and advertise your
site, the Big Monkey team has extensive experience in sales and
marketing and currently run several online businesses - we will be
happy to provide advice on the best ways to get your business moving.
How much will my site cost?
Big Monkey means clear pricing. In addition to the 100GBP setup fee you will be required to pay one year's hosting fee of 80GBP or 8GBP if paid monthly.
There is no need to do so, but, if you so choose you can transfer the domain name into your own name. There is a 30GBP administration fee for this.
Your domain is registered for a year (two years for .co.uk domains)
after which you will be required to pay the domain renewal fee which is
25GBP.
Do I get to keep all the profits?
Yes, you are the full owner of the business.
If the sites are so good why don't you run them for yourselves?
