That's why it is EXTREMELY important to diversify your traffic source.

Well said... I started with TGP's... Starting making $2000 a month, it was extra. I didn't need the money to live. So I built more. Then I realized I don't have that kinda time and merged their databases and then went looking for other things to do. PPC, both buying and selling. I sell on my TGP's and buy for my own galleries. Posting, I post only once in a while and only certain proven money making programs. SEO... I taught myself SEO and created free sites. Now I am at about 9K a month and based on my growth from only 5 months ago to now, I am certain I will be a 20K'er by years end...
Wierd, shit just all of a sudden clicked... Before November I was strugging... Do over a grand in a month and then well under the next month... But eventually I figured out about 20% of what Detoxed is talking about and the money started rolling in.
I remember when I'd be so fucking happy with a $35 sale a day.... Then when I regularly surpassed $100 a day I'd get so happy I'd take the family on REAL vacations... Then $200 wasn't shit and it is getting so that $300 isn't either...
I was told by someone... don't look to make 20K a month tomorrow. Look to make it in 2 years. How? Make 1 thing a day that generates 1 sale a week and will continue to do so for a few weeks to a lifetime.
Mathmatically it works out like this,
$sale = 20 (this is actually small)
for $x = 0 ; $x < 52 ; $x++ (Count the weeks in a year basically)
if $x / 12 then remove 20% revenue do to loss

The ending month you should have $4330 a month minimum. I have noticed that my begining cost per sale was about $19 and it is now $27. I am learning how to make more money per sale. So the numbers I computer here for you are a bit lower than what you can expect.
Google for all things Perl, PHP and Mysql. Learn how to make a networked 400 page website out of 2 pages and some ingenuity.
Stop asking people blanket questions.. "How do I make $20K a month?"
Start asking yourself how you can generate 1 sale for the week, today.
If you start getting behind.. Work smarter annnnnd a little bit harder, but mostly smarter.
