Blogging expenses you need to make in order to scale your blog into a business:

//a thread
1. Web Hosting

Yes, I had to include this! As you get a hold of #blogging and grow your audience, migrating to a better hosting service will help you a lot with site speed and security.
2. WordPress Plugins

Premium plugins for #WordPress security, social shares, etc. cost some money.
3. WordPress theme

If you want a custom theme to complement your personal brand, you can opt for premium WordPress themes.
4. Email marketing services

As your list grows, you'll have to pay to keep your list. The more sophisticated email providers allow you to do a lot more than send automated #emails . Hence the price.
5. Scheduling apps

Once you grow, you'd automatically want to produce content in bulk and schedule it so that you can focus on improving your blog. Depending on the app, it can cost a couple $100
6. Stock photos

Photos and graphics will always be a way to stand out. Most free stock photos are widely used by millions of #bloggers
So, investing in premium stock photos could be something you'd want to look into.
7. Products & Courses

You need to spend money in creating courses and products of your own once you build an audience (if you want to monetize your blog)
Platforms like teachable require you to pay a certain amount to host your courses.
