I know that there are plenty of misconceptions occurring concerning what you'll earn from a web site. Some folks read the (very) few success stories of individuals who have created it massive, and think, "I need to quit my day job, work from home and create a fortune."
To put things in perspective, so you do not get fooled by others' bragging, here are some things you ought to understand the those who have succeeded on the Internet:
Solely a really little percentage of internet sites create It huge:
There are only a few people among the numerous websites and webmasters who have truly created it massive. the bulk of internet sites on the net do not really create their owners any helpful cash, if at all. I even have new webmasters who tell me that they create less than $75 (much less) in their best months. I say this not to discourage you, however so you can be realistic in your expectations.
You want to Be Willing to figure laborious Over an amount of Years:
Those who have succeeded have worked very hard and persevered over an amount of your time, typically years. they'll faux they will relax currently; however, they need most likely slaved away at their sites over the years.
You need Some Talent, Skill, knowledge or Ability in Your Field
Those who have succeeded had talent, skills, knowledge and talents in their areas of specialization. As a result, they might produce original content, and not a stale rehash of existing info. Their expertise in their field conjointly gave them insight into their users' desires and they may adjust and cater to it.
You wish a Passion for Your Work
The successful webmasters love their work. They get pleasure from the things that their web site dealt with, and therefore are spirited once functioning on it. this is often one among the explanations why these successful webmasters do not appear to comprehend that they're operating like dogs on their sites. They get pleasure from the work and so do not outline it as work. when you ask them what number hours on a daily basis they work, they think hard and say, "oh, perhaps one or 2 hours", because those were the hours they really spent directly updating the web site. however they forget to count the umpteen hours each day they spent learning, researching, experimenting and designing before it culminated in those "one or 2 hours" of actual updating.
A website isn't a cutoff to fame and fortune. If you work on one long enough, you will understand that it's specifically just like the real world.

When I started out I didn't make a single profit for the first 3 years. I was working at a golf course making minimum wage and getting cash tips on the side when I would bring someone a golf cart of clean their clubs when they were done. I'm not saying I was struggling, I was doing alright for being 21 with no college degree. With my tips I was probably pulling in around 30k to 35k a year. It was normal to walk away with $300 in cash in your pocket at the end of the day, but it wasn't every day. What made me go online and try to make money was the fact that I knew I was smart, I was accepted to a lot of great colleges but I couldn't afford them so I went to a state college and left after a year because it just wasn't for me. I started working at the golf course and then started working online. I didn't quit my job, I just did both at the same time. I would work 5am to 2pm about 5 days a week and after I got home from work I would sit on my laptop and read or implement a technique I had just learned the day before. I could only do one or two hours online every day because I was exhausted from work. Here's where the blessing in disguise came in... I got laid off from my job since I was more of a grunt and not the upper management. After that I was working 16+ hours a day online and learning everything I could in order to make some money. I was still looking for jobs and trying to get a paycheck from a brick and mortar type business, but it was tough. I finally figured out a way to make a few bucks online and that was to do SEO on my websites in order to rank them higher and pull in the traffic to buy stuff from me.
Now I'm doing SEO on my websites and after a year or two I realize I can do it for other people as well. I was not a good salesman by any means lol. I was horrible at answering emails in a timely manner and I didn't even have a contact phone number where clients could call. But that didn't stop me, I persevered and started to get people to buy. I was making at least $300 a day when I started this (this is 3 years after I started to get into websites) and I was exstatic! My best day was almost $3,800 and I made most of that when I was asleep lol.
Fast forward 10 years to today and I'm the CEO and founder of my Marketing company and I have tons of people who I've been working with over the years who I trust with anyting online. I've built my team over 10 years, it was not an over night thing.
So don't quit your day job
Start playing around with websites
Play with the SEO of your sites
Play around with adwords and adcenter (Bing and Yahoo! PPC)
And treat it like something you're building, not a job.
Once you treat it like a job it will stop being fun and you won't want to do it anymore. Even on the $2 days you need to keep at it.
Thanks,
Razzy So many of my friends who I've met over the years have gone on and gotten "big kid" jobs working a 9 to 5 because they couldn't cut it in the webmaster/online world. It's a tough thing to do, but it can be done if you're not looking to make $1,000 a day over night. It takes a long time to learn and implement what you learned into what you want to build or do online. When I started out I didn't make a single profit for the first 3 years.
