And certainly not anything to write home about. $100 a day is a low wage, it is not something to aim for, it is a starting point. If your goal is to earn $100 a day, you should re-evaluate your goals.

Austria,Australia,Japan,Hong Kong,Canada,Usa,England,Norway,Sweden,Denmark,Finl and,Netherland,Italy,France,Swiss,Germany,South Afrrica.(plus few more)
But for the rest of countries of the world i am quite sure you could afford what you just mentioned.Plus in my country people go to international holidays with much lower salaries,they simply take a loan for it.

keep the day job until your sites earn the same, or more, then you can consider switching.

but there's nothing wrong with two incomes if you don't mind spending time on both.

for most of these countries that you cited, it wouldnt be low. just average...maybe except norway,denmark and switzerland

as for me - anything above 800-1000 usd/ monthly goes to savings.... and I can live with that in 90 % of world countries ;-) but i dont demand "luxury" lifestyle and i'm single

Where do you live?

Australia, Germany, Austria. Worked/ travelled in a fair bit of western Europe and parts of the west coast of the US as well. From 2000 to 2004. Was touring with bands and festivals, and working on film and tv sets.

I'm in Spain now - travelling and imagine that I spend here 30 bucks/ day ... That includes food ;-) , wine, smoke, own bicycle,travel insurance, and private room in Spanish house in big Spanish city (from Spanish people renting it)... what else do I need ?

note: i dont have a car

In Australia, well, lets just say travel costs and distances are a little bigger.

This is such a misconception. You cannot "live like a king" for low amounts of money in developing countries. In most of these countries, luxury living costs just as much as more expensive, "western" countries.

"Living like a king" doesn't mean living in the biggest local-style house in a middle class neighborhood and hooking all your friends up with 25 cent beers at the local pub.

Cars and electronics will cost as much if not more than other countries, nevermind travel... "Living like a king" on $100/day is great until you realize a flight out of your shithole country is going to cost you a months wage.

Well that is normal thing,outskirts are always cheaper no matter which city.Tho in Usa is even bigger difference,for example if you want shoot hardcore average price might be 1000$,but you can find a crackwhore which will do it for 100$.Dont think you can find crackwhores in europe lol

You can start with something small and work up big.

The first month of X Copywriters launching, I worked my ass off for $400. It felt shit to be paid so little with so much investment. I'm not talking 8 hour days here either: when I wasn't sleeping, I was on the PC, reaching out and trying to improve my situation. I knew it wasn't going to be rainbows and butterflies from the get go, but I stuck to it because I wanted a future that wasn't salary capped.

Six months later? Different story. Since Feb 1st, I've signed and sealed around $6,000 in contracts. I'm 22 years old.

There's a luxury associated with not having to go to work each day with people you don't like in clothes that don't fit doing bullshit you don't care about.

If you'd have offered me $50k a year for some desk job at the start of last year, I'd have probably taken it. Would it have been a good idea? Sure. But some people don't want that lifestyle. Some want growth that they control, not what the person in charge of bonuses and promotions controls.

That's 30$ a month per site,aka 2 sales monthly per domain.But also quite a high cost on domains,9.25x100=925$ yearly.

I'm looking for a water proof way to make $100 a day after six month of work.
I can put in $150, 3 hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Pros:
- I can design pretty much anything. I was working fulltime as one of eleven designers for one of the bigger studios for two yrs, and fulltime for a mid size program for five yrs.
(Side note: My main income was $1500/week, and upon that i made another $3-5000/month on my side projects. so i made around $10k/month (> insert > Cher- If i could turn back time).
By the way, Mallick took my last hard earned $12k and went to Hollywood to make a crappy movie. Thank you, chris! :) )
I have designed 250+ paysites, 1000's of galleries, and probably a zillion banners.
- I never give up. I work consistently, no matter who boring it gets. If i set a goal, i try to reach that, no matter what.
(Side note: I've been with the same woman for 22 yrs (> insert > Rick astley-Never gonna give you up), We have five beautiful children. Having sex with my wife is like throwing a hot dog into the grand canyon, but i never give up. I stick in there, and do my best to make her feel like having sex with her is something i really enjoy. :winkwink: )

Cons:
- My english sucks.
- All i can spend is $150. I know it's not much, but that's pretty much all i can afford at this moment.

$100 a day wont make a living, but i have a ragular day job to. I'm looking to make another $100 extra a day.

Any tips?
