Average cost of creating brand online?

[Jenifer]

I am looking to not only develop my personal brand, but to also create a website, blog, fb page, linked in and twitter to coincide with that brand- as well as set up an auto responder and sales funnel. Would someone be able to tell me a range for those services? I want to determine if it more cost effective to outsource this or take the time myself to set it all up?

If you're capable of building the website yourself and configuring the apps to integrate all of your services, it's as little as just the cost of the domain and hosting. If not, a designer will charge you $300-$1000 for a decent functioning site.

An Intern college student might do one or more of those free in exchange for college credit.

Others might charge $25 - $100 per hour, so very hard to say, but all of those things are so easy and mostly free (Yahoo has easy templates for websites - takes less than a couple of hours for basic site).

Everything but the autoresponder could be free, depending on the site you use, Google's free Blogger.com with a $12/yr domain name added on might give more reliable performance than some cheap paid hosts.

Aweber.com is the big name in marketing "autoresponder" scheduled email sequence services, you would probably want to be at least partly involved in it's use.

The remainder is highly variable labor cost, you might be able to oursource at a freelance marketplace like odesk.com or elance.com or find a social marketing consultant.

Here's a service Google pulled out of it's hat that starts at $99 to setup basic accounts.

It is really easy to do it yourself. It will just take huge amount of time to do so. But you can also pay other companies to do it for you. Depending on the company, it will cost you about 1,000 dollars and up.
