30 minutes/day on free hosting making you 300K/year. hmm.

I grossed about $320k last year yes, but because of the tax man and other costs I netted about half that. I post a few galleries on paid hosting, but they account for less than 2% of my total revenue. The majority are posted on free hosts.
Sometimes I work an hour. It's not the most challenging work (my biggest complaint), but look at it this way:
I have a sponsor that converts at 1:200 on average (+/- 50). I get about 150,000 - 200,000 uniques/day to my galleries w/ a CTR of around 4 to 5 %. Worst case scenario: 6000 or so click-through's @ 1:200 = 30 signups. I'm sure you'll agree these numbers aren't outrageous...there are webmasters out there that have better converting sponsors, get more uniques to their galleries, and achieve a higher CTR. But hey, I'm lazy. I make a mean gallery, promote a potent niche and make on OK living considering the amount of work I do.
