I am new to PC, and don't have my kit yet. It will be ordered next week. So, I have limited info on the PWS. Could someone tell me what it costs to get started and is there a cost to maintain. Also, do you know if I could set it up before I qualify or do I have to wait until after?

Thanks!:confused:
 
You have the option to pay yearly or twice a year. It averages 6 or 7 bucks a month. It is super easy to maintain. PC gives you everything you need to make it professional. You can sign up immediately but won't have ability to have individual or outlet orders until you qualify. Also, once you do that in your 1st 90 days (I think) you will earn free pws for 3 months. I love mine. I get enough usage from it for it to pay for itself & then some. Hosts can send evites & set up a wish list & can collect orders for her show via pws. You can send mini-newsletters & evites as well. Definitly worth it.
 
It is $54 for 6 months or $96 for 12 months. Also, when you qualify you get 3 months for free. I just waited to get mine until I qualified, because I didn't want to put out money for something I wasn't sure would be worth it. But I think, if you pay for the website, then qualify for the three free months, they just add it on to what you paid for. I am sure someone else will correct me if I am mistaken. :) Good luck!
