$5-10,000 and time, 24/7 then if you work hard enough , you will make some coin, how much depends on you skills as a webmaster and your content.

if you are just one person -
you need to be able to design banners, make galleries, update the site, shoot the content, handle scripting, and server adminning.
if you can't do those - you better partner with people that can - you'll NEVER make it - if you have to outsource all that stuff - doesn't provide enough flexibility - and the people - will never have the same ummmph that you have for the sitesComment

Having partners is how I was able to make some good bank while still in high school (mainstream). I was fortunate and found a really good partner, we did pretty well. But this isn't always the case.Originally posted by BrettJ

yup. it ain't easy.
i'd also suggest having a laundry list of questions -
situational things - would you do this or that?
try to work out wether you guys share the same moral/ethical compass - and try to eek out what their future goals are - so that you are heading in the same directionComment

Having partners was how I was able to not get paid for the income my sites earned between November and February.Originally posted by Sly_RJ
