Easily doable.

But as others have said, you need to have done your homework. Many who ask me about this industry, even when I tell them what I did,...lessons learned... and how I make my coin.... reply to me, "That's too much work".

I find it funny an hour's worth of submitting, links, updates, etc a day is "too much work".

I find more of the new people who are trying to get into the online game are lazy, and looking for short cuts. More entertaining is they think that you are going to give them that short cut just because they say, 'hello', to you in some forum.

Almost none seem to want to read the netponds, and other resource sites out there. The vast majority do not have a fucking clue on traffic generation. Even more laughable, and you'll see a lot of this on DP, is that people realistically think they are going to get into this biz full time nickel and dimeing. Or that they can buy site's making $40,50,80k+ a year for $1000, 5000, 10,000.

If it were not so insulting, it would be fucking hilarious.
