I have no formal schooling in PHP/MYSQL/PERL or anything else...
What I have learned in SEO I learned here at GFY...
I make more than $10K a month...
I started in 2004...
WTF are you doing wrong?
I have an answer... You have no real drive. You want to be told what to do... What I did differently is I stopped waiting for someone to tell me what to do. I started using the massive amount of free tools out there to see how others did what they did to make over $10K a month...
Why don't you try looking up a website you like in
Yahoo's Site Explorer. It is like having their business plan...
Learn to use Photoshop or find someone else just like you who does. And together you can make a babes blog... You do the backend shit to trick out wordpress and show POTD galleries and shit and the other guy can write the posts and do the layouts and pics...
Together you can become the Dynamic-Blogging-Duo! Until then, keep reading posts about how big my bank account is, my house, my cars and my nuts...
Rinse and Repeat...
