Everyone wants to have a successful website and be sitting back on the beach drinking paniculata. But the simple truth is not everyone is going to make it big like that. And guess what there is nothing wrong with that because 90%+ of the websites on the internet don't make a dime. And not making money doesn't mean you're a failure, as long as your doing to the best of your ability and you enjoy what you're doing then I would say that you are having a successful website.
Where I see a lot of people making mistakes is the employ the "Feild Of Dreams" motto. "If you build it they will come!' And that the furthest thing from the truth. I have honestly seen a guy spend $60k on paid posting and advertising for his forum. And as soon as he stopped putting money into his website it died in a month. So that just goes to show you no matter how much money you throw ar something your not always going to have success.
And on the other end of the spectrum, I saw a forum start out without putting any money into it and grow to 1 million posts in two years. And there is no rhyme or reason or some secret info to have that kind of success. Because if there were everyone under the sun would have 1 million posts on their forum.
So in closing, if you're making a website to make money from it, your doing it wrong. If you're making a website because you're passionate about it and if it does make money then great. But whatever you do don't go throwing a bunch of money into a website in hopes of striking it rich, because more than likely you're going to be disappointed.

Not everyone can do this because it costs a decent amount of money to employ a full time writer for a single website. If you want to be competitive in difficult niches, you'll need to be posting at least once a day, which is what I need and paid for. My writers were happy to oblige with the work, and I love they did the work when I needed it done, but in the end I didn't see much of a ROI :'( It's true, sometimes you throw a lot of money into a website and as soon as you stop, it goes all the way downhill.
This is why I always recommend people to start blogging about a topic they are passionate about and not to branch out right away because they found a nice niche with high paying keywords. Knowing what you're writing about, and actually liking it, will make it easier to get the content churned out at a quicker pace.
Another thing, people think they can just put up a website and the riches will be delivered to them. I like the "If you build it, they will come" saying because I actually use it frequently with my own clients. I let them know that they need to do more than just put up a website and get sales, they need to bring the clients to their website before they can actually make a sale, and most websites fail at that :'( I agree that you have to be passionate about something before the money will start to roll in. I've started up websites in niches that I didn't know much about and I would have failed at them if I didn't hire content writers that knew what they were talking about. Sure, I could have done all the research and written up quality content just like them, but it would have taken me 5x longer because I had to do all the research. They simply got the payment and started writing, and when they were done I'd get it to my inbox and copy/paste it to my website :D Not everyone can do this because it costs a decent amount of money to employ a full time writer for a single website.
