DarkEmber:
I think like any business it's what you feel comfortable doing. There is no 1 right way or best way.

Thanks for the kind words.
Oh, I made another sale last night with my latest site submitted Friday.
So, 10 of the 14 have sales and it's $435 since I made my 1st sale.
$1k/mo by December would be sweet. I know it's doable as I have untapped traffic sources like TGP and more niche specific LL's I've yet to take advatage of.
BTW, all my sites use free sponsor content thus far...
I plan to change that in the near future to take advantage of the flexibility of using my own content would allow.
