I'm currently spending about £50 on server costs and an average of £200 on advertising, which will end soon as I'm switching to other methods.

I also spend money on designers and developers. Even for a side project, there are places I don't have time / skills to go to :) and I rely on external -paid- help.

Any recommendations on designers? Always got problems finding decent ones, usually end up chopping Themeforest ones together/appart.

Unfortunately that has been my weakest point so far. I think I might have the wrong idea about the cost of a great design (i.e. I might not be offering enough to go from good to great).

If you like https://wormhole.network I can put you in touch with the designer. She's professional and fast - I just now think it doesn't look as great as I thought at first :)

that's interesting, i imagine the cost for freelance developer/designer would be a lot more than the server cost and advertising.

Yes, but I don't have those expenses every month.

In a year, it could be 5 times the cost of hosting if there's no heavy development from outside (or a complete rebranding :)).
