Here's something I see on the forums constantly:  "This product sucks, I built a site with it and only made $1.27 -- I paid $247 dollars for this and it doesn't even work!"

Do you see the problem there?

"I built A SITE with it ..."

Guess what?  Building a single site will hardly ever make you enough money to pay your bills.  If it does, good for you, but it's highly unlikely.  Far more likely is a site that makes a few dollars a day, just like the example above.  Once you get to that level, you need to take MASSIVE ACTION.  $1.27 x 100 sites will give you $127 a day, or $3,800 per month.  Don't just build one site, build 100 or even 1,000 sites once you find a way to make a profit.

• Find a way to make a profit, no matter how small.
• Duplicate that action over and over until it stops working.
• Stop messing around in the forums -- there are no secrets.
• The only secret is work, and lots of it.  Head down, focused work with no distractions.
