I dont, and i dont see many who will do this, as web designing market is getting really saturated. I might be wrong and i would love to see opinions on this one.

I'm on the exact same page as WebHost

Running forums is a hobby of mine...if I end up making a little bit of money off of it, great...if not, that's ok too...Besides, any money I make, whether from the site itself or through graphics work, I try to put right back into my sites...to improve them even more

I'm the same as GTACE, I like spending revenue, and even some of my own money, and put them back into my site. Until I go bankrupt, haha

Default Re: Do you make a living off the internet?

I'm almost there but I do have to fill in the gaps some with temp work and other income opportunities. I do plan to make 90-100% of my living from the internet within a year from now, sooner if possible.

On the other hand, I don't see how it can be done when you put all your eggs into one online 'basket', so to speak. It would be tough making website design for clients, for example, become enough to pay the bills these days.

I would die if I had to live from my net income. I would starve so far .. but maybe in few years I could have some success and then, who knows, live from this

Seems harder and harder to make a living off the net.. although it IS growing tremendously.

Default Re: Do you make a living off the internet?

I'm looking at 18-24 month cycles where i buy a site or start one, develop and possibly sell. I enjoy and am good at getting things off the ground. Once it gets large I can have someone else figure out how to make more money off of it. LOL. Not making money yet but I think the value is in the building and the accumulation of assets.

Well, my problem is that I could never sell a site I have developed. I get too attached to them and cannot let them be run by someone else.
