Purchase following things:
Domain Registration: $8

3 months expenses = 60 + 24 + 8 = $92
1) On the domain, create a wordpress blog.
2) Install the following plugins on the blog.
Akismet - eliminates comment spam
AutoMeta - Automatically includes Meta Tags based on full text of your posts
CoolPlayer - I feel this is the best player to embed videos in your posts
Fancy Pullquotes - Allows you to display pull quotes in your posts like a magazine to highlit key areas
Feedburner Feedsmith - Allows tracking your rss feed through feedburner

What would Seth Godin Do - Hleps increase your subsribers. Shows a custom message on your blog to new visitors
Wp-Sticky - Allows you to pin a post to the top of your blog, like your product offer.
3) Find a template that has widgets at the top of the template above the posts. Atomic Blogging has this, but out of your budget. You should be able to find a free template out there somewhere.
4) Join Twitter.com and link you blog to your Twitter account.
5) Join Entrecard.com and link your blog to entrecard.com
6) Setup three autoresponder sequences
a) Blog posts - You can set it up so that everytime you add a post, the rss feed automatically send out the post to subscribers through AWeber.com
b) A mini-course related to the product you are promoting.
c) A Bonus Ebook/Video course for Buyers helping them consume the product they purchased
7) Write a blog post for your blog each day.
Write 1 - 3 articles a day posting to article directories - Primary focus Ezine Articles, Go Articles, and Aricle City
9) Create a feedburner feed for your blog feed
10) Your most freetime is on the weekends, I would use this time for producing and submitting videos
11) Submit your videos to multiple sites through TubMogul.com
12) set you profile as producer, or guru in Youtube and links that are formatted with a http:// prefix will show as active links. This is mainly true for youtube.com, but a couple others as well.
13) videos should link back to your blog.
14) Change the permalinks settings in your blog to be date and title based, using keywords in your titles.
15) Create Google Alerts for your top 5 keywords, this will give you new content to talk about on your blog posts.
16) Use comment hut to find blogs to post comments on. There is now a free version floating around, that some marketers are able to give to their lists.
17) Setup 8 - 10 categories on your blog, and relate your posts to multiple categories to extend their reach on the site
18) Change the background image on Twitter.com to include your Blog URL
19) Ping the blog Manually after each post with Pingoat.com
20) Bookmark your posts each day.
21) Submit a free press release each month related to the product/industry linking back to your blog.
22) Create a Google Reader account and add competing blog urls to the reader. Post rebuttals, or comments about their posts on your blog linking to them. A link to your blog post will show up as a trackback in the their comments.
23) Use other poeples content, articles/videos to supplement your daily content
24) Add a podcast to your blog, you can then submit it to podcast directories which have a lot of SERP pull, and PR. podPress is a could plugin for managing the podcast. It also gives you chance to get into iTunes.com. Do a weekly podcast, like your video marketing.
These are in no specific order, and only about half of what I have for an upcoming project on Advanced Blogging.
Wishing You success,
Vikash Kumar
