There are still so many opportunities that the truly hard part is focusing on each opportunity, maximizing it and seeing the dough into your wallet. And you are spot on with the point about marketing the site. That, IMO is the real trick. Eric Mike-
That’s exactly right. There are still so many opportunities that the truly hard part is focusing on each opportunity, maximizing it and seeing the dough into your wallet. And you are spot on with the point about marketing the site.

That, IMO is the real trick.

I never thought the website I built with $4.00 a month godaddy hosting and a $9.00 domain name would amount to much but in the last three years it has brought in over a half million dollars in income. I realize this sounds like some late night TV commercial but its true. I can't say it's been easy. You and I know that building and hosting the site was the easy part, it's the marketing of the site that eats up most of my free time, but with a little creativity and some hard work "Thar's still Gold in Them Thar Hills" Great post Eric!
