I did put in a lot of work and for the first three months I updated daily with only a few exceptions. Income six months in was almost nothing. By twelve months it was doing very well. I've since sold the site (through GFY actually) and it is now making more than $2000 a month.

So it's absolutely possible to make a living from it if everything works out well. On the other hand, I've made some other sites that didn't make any income at all after six months.
