6k Canadian is my goal, hopefully I can surpass that.

so it's possible to make 6k/month but not if you are a newbie

All depends on how smart you are. Seriously. There are webmasters that come along and submit a free site every 2 days and build nothing else. Or someone pushes the same sponsor over and over again that is not converting well.

Be smart. Know you have to work hard. Build ALL the time. As already said being smart means learning how to refine your design and selling skills.

A newbie could be making $6K within a few months if they did things right.

If you treat it like a new business venture then I think a newbie can make that kind of money but not next month. 3 to 4 months may be unlikely but not impossible. it will take some serious hard work and sacrifice to reach your goals.

I would suggest that you plan on giving up your hobbies until you reach your goals. Your new hobbies will be reading boards, studing traffic sources, graphics, learning new software, asking questions and trying new things.

Before you get started get rid of all distractions so that your mind is clear. That means if you have some financial issues that are distracting you, find a way to put them on hold. That hot babe/guy you want to date, make them part of your life now or forget about her. Friends that interfere with your day, block them out for a little while. Anything that takes you away for more then a day should be forgotten.

Once you're mentally and emotionally ready to work your ass off to reach your goals, then you can do it. Until then you're wasting your time.

When you start, wake up everry morninf and review what you did and learned the day before. Then make a "To Do" list. Review that list a few times a day and when you finish work for the day.

Stay organised, stay focused and you just might be able to do it. Keep us posted.

Be willing to give up your life. Think thats what you were saying...

And it's accurate and correct. The more you do, the more you will want to do, and the more you will realize that that what you did yesterday was inadequate.

And that's the good news!

Very true. I spend over 100 hours a week on the computer, and occasionally speak to webmasters who consider that a slow week.

|shocking|Yikes! When do you find time to live, or time to spend all the money you must be making?

That was the reason I sold my last (non-internet) business: my income was increasing, but at the same time my lifestyle was seriously eroding! At the end I had hardly any friends left because I was known as "the guy who's always working and never has time for us"...

I'm off to the coffee shop now: meeting friends for Sunday brunch - there has to be some time for that!!
