I spent about 2 years building a couple of landing pages, submitting a gallery or two a week, a free site here and there, a few failed tgps and linklists... And every time something made decent money, I'd go "score! let's go party" instead of trying to duplicate that and make the same money again. It took that long before I was taking this seriously enough to be able to make a full time income from it.
