I am a newbie and I would be interested to know what you have purchased so far. I tend to concentrate on freebies and keep away from “fancy products”. So far I have bought the following:
Aweber autoreponder
Hostgator
2x domain names
Subscription to a mentor
Market samurai (my biggest investment to date)
As a whole, the start up costs in IM are still relatively low. Would love to hear your stories:)
Our very own Lynn makes the wisest suggestion in this area.
Buy what you need when you need it.
I think most of us have digital products on our hard drive that were bought "in case" we needed them one day.
So starting out you might buy a domain, hosting, auto-responder, and if you cannot write maybe some PLR....
Go at it from that mindset.

It's relatively low, I AGREE! However if we can't earn as much online to pay for those expenses, then that low cost of business would still be a pain in our wallets.Quote:

it's true, that's should be your basic setup. The goal of internet marketing is to of course outsource as many steps as possible but still keeping that profit margin. So once you get comfortable with what you're doing and having that constant weekly profit, start analyzing your business and see which steps you can outsource to a program or a business to free up your time so you can work/start something else

Once I had a plan in place, I started focusing on products that would inexpensively save me the time of doing some of the more mundane tasks I was doing. For example... RSSBot is incredible for the $7 I paid for it. Saved me hours of submitting my RSS feeds all over the place.
Market Samurai is a great investment. Too many people use it for only the keyword research. I use it a lot more for the SEO competition analysis and for looking at competitor's backlinks.
If you can't afford Market Samurai, Traffic Travis is a pretty good free alternative that I would recommend.
Probably the best $57 I spent though was Scrapebox. It really probably is not for someone brand new in internet marketing. Many people think it is just a blog commenter. It can do so much more than that, but the instructions that come with it are awful. I had to really search around online for information to learn from to get the most out of it.
I wouldn't buy Scrapebox if you are brand new, but I would keep it in mind for down the road.
Scrapebox URL checker is FREE. I use it to check if I have obtained backlinks. Very useful.:)Quote:

I have purchased a couple twitter tools. Still unsure if they are going to help in any way. Tweetadder and Market me tweet.
Market Samurai sounds good I think I'm going to try it out.
