Mystic,
I make a living online, and you can too.
You have to be focused, and dont spend all day in WPW Forums, or work will suffer!
;)
Oh, and dont step on toes.

but do u make enough money online to say your successfull and that theres no periods of very small or no income? and might i ask what exactly do you do?

my idea is to continue with my wholesale directory and also my dad has his own jewelry store. and my uncle allready made the site for him it looks really nice but for some reason they decided to not do the website, i'm planning on putting that back up if i can find it, but it only has about 40 items on it. do you think that will do it for a good living making at least 100k a year?

I started at 17 too, now I’m 24 and when I started I made $500 a year and now I make and extra $20,000 on top of what web development brings me. Like Tim said just focus, don’t panic and learn to lose sleep.

Another tip is look at all angles. Think on all the possible ways you can make money from your online situation. Be adaptable, stay informed and don’t step on anyone’s shoes.

Do not spam and do not fall into pyramid schemes and you’ll be fine.

If I could go back to 17 I would buy allot of 3 letter domains.

Good luck
