I have been "knocking on the door" for 2 years and still haven't turned a profit yet. Be prepared to meet immense resistance on your journey to the ultimate job. My crew has been working on content, design, networking, and marketing for about 5 years and we learn from our mistakes every day.
I have found that people in this business are very stingy with their information. They want to protect their market share. Best advise I can give is to absorb as much information as possible and sort out the bullshit form the gold. Remember that you are competition to everyone in this industry and they will treat you as such until you show them that you are here to stay.
Good Luck and take it slow...
