If you make a full time living at it (and not live out of a cardboard box), then you are successful.

These days, anyone who can do that is doing something.

Hawgwash!

Folks can make livings doing lots of things.

If you can make more doing something else...(and as long as that something else you're content doing)....well you should do it.

You're a success if you exceed the opportunity cost of doing something else....if not...well maybe think about things. This business isn't for everyone.

u r such an ass kisser its not even funny, u just listed people who you want attention from and have no idea about their income,

omg DORK!

Re read the posts. The thread has been talking about successful webmasters.

My reply is that within that framework (webmaster) it's not the dollar amount - it's your standard of living. If you can do this as a full time job and you're happy with your standard of living, you are a success.

With the exception of someone who is doing a job they actually love, that is the only standard that matters, and there is no set 'dollar amount' for that. Depends on many things - geography (eg, cost of living), size of your family, personal financial goals, etc, etc.

Consult yourself when it comes to that standard, and don't live by the standards of others.

what's a webmaster?

strange word!

:)

Why is that?

Have you seen Persian Kitty's house? It's fucking incredible. Believe me, you'd get happy really fucking fast living in a house with that sort of view.
