Or I could make 2 projects that each do 500 bucks an hour. Or maybe 50 projects that each cash a 20 every hour. Now that seems a lot more doable.

What a load. It's not more doable than it was to begin with, nor has all this "planning" actually done anything of any value whatsoever.

Cue Seinfeld "if you exclude dinners and showers it's like less than a day. Half a day really. Fifteen minutes".

Wishful thinking of this caliber should really be called deliberate stupidity.
Sorry, but you're entirely wrong.

When talking about websites, creating something that gets millions of hits a day is extremely hard, and typically requires a significant amount of luck.

On the other hand, creating a large amount of automated small sites isn't all that hard, and requires very little luck - just a lot of work. Eventually, you will find some things which work well, and you can just increase the scale when you do.

Here's how to get rich online:
1. Find something that works well.
2. Scale the fuck out of it.

If you're determined and not a complete idiot, you can do it.
