A newbie is going to be updating his websites by hand the first few months, at least until they have made enough money to invest into a CMS or had someone do a install of WordPress to handle their members area.

Affiliate software, because only then do they realize what tools they can offer and what they need

They have already signed up to CCBill to handle the processing, no affiliate software needed, as for promo tools, they can post on any of the industry message boards and find out the php code (for free) to create hosted galleries, free sites, etc, etc..

i suspect they get all tools they need to early

I suspect if they did, then they
would fail. Most people wait until the month of their launch to get any type of scripting installed, if they use any at all until they have established a positive cash-flow. No need to spend money before you
NEED to spend money.
How many amateur sites have launched in the past with just banners, no programs like StrongBox, CARMA, etc, etc...
I think now we're bordering on the lines between what a 'newbie' actually knows about and what they 'should' know about, most newbies aren't going to have a clue about CMS stuff, cascading billing, etc... Whilst these things do help generate income, they are not necessities in running a successful paysite, plenty of sites were successful prior to NATs, plenty of sites are successful post NATs...
