Serious Question About Starting Over

02-04-2010, 12:33 PM

I get the fact that, like anything, this business takes a lot of hard work and dedication. That being said I am curious ... If you are building one main central Hub site that would have everything .. movies, web cam links, pictures, erotic stories, so on as a "find everything you want here" web site and work on it 2 - 3 hours a day - how long do you think it would take to reach $1,000 a month ? 2-3 hours of real work, not dicking around at the boards.

It seems to me that most people in this business probably may feel they put in 8-12 hour days but most of what they consider work is either networking or bullshitting and doing research. I am talking actual work on the site. Not looking to get rich again in this business, I would just like to build a sustainable $36,000 a year business in the next year with a few hours of work a day - not sure if it's a crap shoot or not but I'm going to try

It's really all very relative. It depends on what you do, how your brain works, your level of stamina, sleep patterns, dedication..... etc...

There is no one universal answer.

As a designer, sometimes I put in 16 hour days of back breaking work. Sometimes only 15 minutes. Some days not at all. Average is about 6 hours of design work (because my eyes are fried after that), and a few hours of other admin stuff. If I'm feeling crazy, maybe a few hours of fucking around.

Am I rich? Far from it. But I'm not starving either.

I think it shouldn't be too hard to reach your goal of $1k per month. McDonalds can give you that. If you can't make $1k per month with say, 2-3 hours of work 2 days a week, or 4-5 hours of work every other day, then you're in the wrong biz and should polish up the old resume.

I can make $1k in my sleep.

You are the wildcard in your equation. If you suck at marketing, development, traffic generation etc. then 20 hours a day wouldn't be enough.

$1000.00 a month?

You can make that with a few clip stores, a few hours, and some decent content.

Same can be said with a celebrity site(s).

Additionally, it will not take you 16 hours a day.

Correct.

99% of the newbies I talk to about this industry simply do not want to work. I am not saying it takes you 12-18 hours a day, 7 days a week. But there is a 'routine' and you have to do it consistently. Regardless of sales, or your mood.

You also need to constantly be tracking, tweaking, and adjusting.

Thanks everyone .. To be honest I have more of a background in managing my own affiliate program is where my real success was at. I was never great at traffic generation, but I don't think that means I can't do it. I don't think I ever put forth the real effort except back in the very very early days of this business when you could instantly add your site to alta vista and get traffic 3 minutes later lol.

Time will tell I suppose

LOL I remember you would literally resubmit new pages every 10 minutes for each term because even when you got a top 3 ranking ... It never lasted more than an hour or two lmao !! Good Times

Painfully true. While I myself work 16-18 a day, 8 days a week, i, myself, am a zombified recluse eggplant.

i can take a shit, wrap it in tinfoil, put fish hooks on it, and make $1000 a month..

the more times you fail and succeed, the easier success becomes...

most people quit when just around the corner is the finish line... (write that down)..
