bro, here's some free advice. Asking these stupid fucking questions on a place like GO FUCK YOURSELF... you're not going to get a lot of honest replies. Can you make money? what the fuck do you think? Are people making money? Of course. Are a lot of these idiots on the board surfers who signed up for a free affiliate account and make zero dollars? yes.

How are you going to get your traffic? Are you going to have an affiliate program? What niche are your sites? Are you going to have exclusive content, or are you making cookie cutter licensed content sites?

Here's a better idea, a good paysite with exclusive content and a nice tour would convert at about 1:500. You want 100 members in 6 months so thats roughly 17 members a month. 17 x 500 = 8500 unique hits a month. Do you know/are you capable of getting 8500 uniques a month to your paysite? Do you know how to make tours that will convert?

The days of 'build and they will come' are long gone, you missed those days. Now a days its "he who has traffic is king". Thats why most new commers are making free sites to drum up traffic before even thinking about making a paysite. But dont think you need a paysite to make money. There's lots of people who make 5-10-50k a month just promoting affiliate programs.

Take the next month to just read whatever you can, learn about the industry, research your markets, etc. and do that before jumping in head first. Otherwise you're guaranteed to lose every penny you put in.
