Its more than a full time job For starters, Id try and pick up some basic HTML skills then move on to obtaining traffic. These pages and posts are full of great insight but its a tough road to tow.

The sad thing is that this used to be a get rich quick type of business. I remember starting my first porn site over on the old porncity freehosting with adult check and netverifier. I was living in a college dorm with not even $50 in my pocket. By the first month I was making near $1,000. Second month nearly $3000. Things really changed!
Don't think you are going to do this today. Sure it is possible but I give it a 0.0000001% chance. If you do get anywhere, realize it will be through HARD WORK and persistence which will almost be seen as crazy by others.
I would start by realizing that you don't want to quit your day job and by realizing that the odds are you will be working for what is essentially $1 an hour (if even that) for quite some time.
Start reading many boards but be weary of taking advice until you have read a lot and have some experience with which to gauge the advice. Free sites are a good place to start for a few months to learn basics. Maybe to stay with them long after that too but as soon as you can get into everything else like blogging and tgps too. Try many different things. Do not limit yourself to one or two things or you will never get beyond those things.
Ready to work 12 hours a day for 25 cents an hour (about $18 a week = a little over 1 revshare sale) ? That's how it will probably be for a month or two....possibly longer? If so, get working and good luck my friend!
