Sue...
I have been doing this for almost a year now too -although for a few months I was also working so I didn't spend the time like I have in the past 3 months or so...
I have noticed that my traffic is increasing, and a lot of my sales are coming from sites that were built months ago. I am finding my comfort level with sponsors, deciding which ones I like to promote and which ones work for me. I am also getting better (I hope
) at marketing and targetting my ads, so that makes a difference.
Long story short, I am making enough to cover my expenses - hosting & content. I buy all my own content, cheap stuff right now hehe, but mine - I can use it wherever I want, do whatever I want with it, and am not bound by some sponsors TOS or worrying if it gets pulled, etc.
I know the time & patience involved in starting up a business, and honestly I see more potential in this than the "real" business I started 2 yrs ago. I expect to start actually seeing a good profit by the end of the year.
Since this is more fun too, I'm sticking with it
See my sig - it's what I live by
