To those of you starting out let me tell you something
 

It takes time to learn and gain experience. Learning and gaining experience can be ver time consuming but it is very necessary. You will find that 10 years from when you started out you are still learning and gaining experience.

Without patience you will expect everything to happen all at once. This is never the case and will lead to disapointment and frustration. This could easily cause your to throw in the towel long before you give your new busuiness a chance to get off the ground.

Persistance is an important engridient to success. Keep at it and learn from your mistakes, either you can use failure as an way to learn or as a way to doom your self.

Good night :)

Hah don't mind the spelling I'm a bit drunk

Good advice here. This business really is amazing. The traffic that continues to flow from sites you built over the years really astounds me. The money I make today is from work I did over the past five years, knowing that is just insane. Had I worked full throttle every day over those years, the money I'd be making today would be sick.

Don't watch numbers. Just work. Keep building. Keep trying new things. Build systems and let those systems run. Come back in two years and tell us all how you're doing.

Let me know if you need new sites to promote or good quality hosting that you can depend on. ;-)

Great thread man, you certainly come into this business expecting to get rich within months. It's all about dedication, and persistence.

So true Sly RJ.

boom, good thread.
