Becoming disillusioned with IM.

Stick to IM and change some things drastically. Why only a few sites? "General" rule is that every 3rd project makes money. Make 50 of them. You don't have to be a professional in every niche you write about, all the information is on Wikipedia and authority general sites, you just need to sum it up with your own words and place Adsense code + affiliate links somewhere in between.

When I started my IM journey as a part time, I got stuck with Blogger, I focused solely on 1 site and Adsense and after 2 years it made 20$ per month lol. Good thing that I liked that niche and it only took me 10 minutes per day, but it still wasn't worth it. I had a friend earning tons of money online and he made it look easy. But it isn't easy, it's a hard work. But once you get on the level you want, it gets easy.

Also, don't rely on 90% of public case studies. Analyze your competition. That's the best learning material you can get.

wow, people really like to put a fight here in any moment. It seems that we can come here, grab some popcorn, forget about IM, and watch some cockfights. Why do people spent a lot of time trying to convince others? Why don't just share your opinion and respect the other's? If someone doesn't believe in something just leave him, those useless and long fights just depreciate this forum's value. Just take a deep breath, relax, keep learning, keep practicing, keep improving and let's see what happens. Just my opinion because I think we are here to help each other or have a good time with interesting subjects about IM. Have a nice day everyone.
