I think it's a good way to think. Some people don't even make a dollar online. If you start with small goals you can always ramp up your efforts. Remember what happens to a penny if you double it every day for 30 days.
In 30 days you have $5,368,709.20.
In 31 days you have $10,737,418.40.
The hardest part for most people is making that first dollar, but once you know how to do it you can replicate it and keep creating.
For small goals you can always take the tried and true niche minisites. Create small sites quickly, get backlinks and traffic and make money off of ad revenue. Rinse and repeat. Set them up on different domains and you can also resell the sites for added profit. Get into niches that have high paying keywords, ex. mortgage, real estate, loans, prescription medicines, lawsuits, etc...
Or even better, I'll pay you $2 per day to work for me. The price is kind of steep, but I'm such a nice guy I'll pay you that and after three years I'll raise you to $5 per day.
