- Time and money spend
- Penguin penalty

Buying/Building Starter Sites – Sites that you have build up the income from the ground up
Pros:

- Learning the in's and out's of internet marketing (SEO, WordPress, Email Marketing, etc.)
- Buying a starter site saves time from setting up a site yourself
- More people to learn from since you are starting from the bottom
- Less risky when you don't know what your next move should be
