What is a good budget for:

1. Host a domain for 1 year.
2. Start some campaigns on Google Adwords.

I literally have 0 cash, and I just need $100 to start dropshipping on ebay to make the cash, and I need to know a good estimate on how much that should cost me. $1000?

ALSO

What is most effective in making sales for a domain? (I'll be using clickbank since I'm a noob)
a. Content rich niche website promoting affiliate product with adsense.
b. Just a landing page/squeeze page for sales
c. For redirecting to affiliate made landing pages
d. All in one?

ALSO

Where should your PPC campaign landing page be?
a. Homepage content rich
b. Squeeze/landing page
c. Just redirect to affiliate landing page?
 


Oh yea, I know I'm going to get, "TRY IT YOURSELF YOU ASSLEECHER" but I really don't want to go through testing every f****** option as I need to be very conservative in my cash spending and I want my full experiment to go smoothly with a cohesive plan.
 
Because I'm hoping a "nice person" (which seems to be non-existant at WF), will actually answer my question properly.

Well, normally you pay someone to tell you half of what you asked.

The easy part is hosting, if you really wana go cheap, expect to pay between 2 to 10 per month (zensix has yearly accounts for less than 35$/year, dreamhost on the other hand can be down to 5 per monthwith unlimited space).

Far as PPC, how much, who, what, when, why, etc thats what you gota research, or pay to have researched.

You get a better response if you ask very specific questions, simply asking "which campaign should I invest in" isn't going to get you anywhere, as you speak among competitors.
 
Get a domain, get hosting, rewrite 30 articles. Put some banners and affiliates links. Link exchange, submit to directories, submit to RSS, get some free blogs, interlink them and send links from them to your main site.

Start doing PPC when you're making at least 1000$ / month.

Ok?
 
I always think its better to include many payment options and packages when selling a service or product, not all people all looking for full SEO service, some people are interested in link building, other articles writing, etc...
 
Well...you have a lot of questions that could take entire threads to answer. :D

Starting with hosting: if you dig around there are some decent free hosts and you can pickup a cheap domain for $2 or less if go with a dot info. So, your total investment is now $2.

As for dropshipping...I'm not going to tell you it's a bad idea. There are ways to be profitable having products dropshipped, BUT you need to be VERY careful about the company you do business with. Remember, any screw up on the part of the dropshipper will come back to haunt you NOT them. If they don't ship an order for three weeks and your customer is pissed that's your problem. The customer will not accept "well, it's the dropshippers fault" and neither will PayPal. Then you end up losing a PayPal dispute and being out the cash you paid the dropshipper for the product. Even worse if the DS eventually does send the item you can bet your sweet ass the customer isn't going to contact you or PayPal. Even if you find out that they did get the product PayPal will tell you it's not their problem you have to chase the customer down for your money. Ugly business for sure.

Skipping to you last question: send PPC traffic to a landing specifically for the purpose of promoting that product. Preferably one that you can make changes to so that you can optimize it as you learn what is working.
