What does it take to be lucrative in the freesite game nowadays?

[Useless]

I like the much more realistic approach to business than the motivational speaker approach. Most of us don't have the "if I can dream it, I can do it attitude" because we are realists. Being a realist doesn't mean were necesarily pessimistic either. We're just willing to acknowledge the known hurdles and toss in normal human behaviour. Most people aren't going to build 5-6 free sites per week and submit them. Why? It's bloody boring, that's why. Most of the shit we do is really fucking mundane. When I say that someone can't come along and make a living off of free sites, I'm not saying that it's entirely impossible. I'm saying that the average person couldn't. You'd need to be a mix of highly motivated and skilled. Most aren't.
