Hi all,

I've been in the freelance game for a few years as a graphic designer-web developer/designer. I've got a few solid clients that generate a monthly income on top of the various bigger projects I'll work on from time to time. But I'm looking for another way to bring in some $ using my experience in web work. And since I waste a good part of my day surfing porn as opposed to working when I should, I thought this could be a lucrative venture.

So my questions are:
Where do I even begin? The first thing that made me even consider this was after visiting nscash.com. To me it seems I could set up a page to basically promote all of their sites. Like I see with all these other thumb gallery sites that link to different sites all over the place.
I'm just really in the dark as to how to start this off. I see different things in the forum like "pay sites" or "thumb sites".
Any insight is appreciated.
Also what type of income could be generated from average upkeep?
How much time is usually invested in this?
What's with all these gallery sites linking to other gallery sites?

Also, I see that some people use different types of applications to drive some of their sites? Are these necessary?
I'm very savvy with php/mysql, javascript, html, xhtml, dhtml, css, actionscript, the whole nine. And also very good with layout and graphics.

Any body got a starting point for me?
