Thats almost what we pay in Canada, which doesn't make sense considering we have the second largest oil reserves in the world.
How much are you earning from your sites?

it's more expensive to extract oil from tar sands, which is where most of Canada's oil is. It needs to be separated which makes it more expensive than oil from Saudi Arabia or India.John said:
what doesn't make sense is why America pays so much less, when most of its oil comes from Canada.
in relation to the thread, I'm making a few bucks a day from the 2 or 3 sites that I own. I started trading equities a lot less so I can concentrate on AM instead.

I guess you don't want to read that even though its a holiday weekend here (Labor Day), prices have dropped further!
I guess there's lots of economical cars being driven around in the countries where the gas prices are so high. I got rid of a big old suburban 1 1/2 years ago due to gas prices. Is there alterrnative transportation available?
I could always take the bus rather then drive my gas guzzling explorer, but then again the bus is for hobos and fat people.

The first day I made $10, which was about 2 years ago, I felt so good. I knew it was completely possible to make way more than that, but I had busted my ass all summer long while working a part time job. I didn't really know what I was doing and I was updating a site daily even with no readers. Back then, the reward to me was just knowing someone was seeing what I wrote. Of course, once the money came in there was just nothing better than seeing those tangible results come in to existance.
There is so much money out there it is almost unbelievable. Work hard and before you know it you'll be making more in your sleep than you could during a 12 hour shift at a day job. Fuck, going on vacation and coming back with more money than you left with, thats hard to beat.

Here is what motivated me. There is a guy, who will go unamed, graduated from college and knew owning a business was a way better deal than being an employee. So, for almost 5 years he worked hard trying to get a profitable business going just so he could get to the point of being self-employed by it. During this time his college buddies had great jobs, new cars, he was driving a piece of shit and delivering pizza. Fast forward to today, he is a multi-millionaire and his college friends are knee deep in debt & crappy marriages.
That is a long hard road.. but, sometimes thats just the way it happens.
Depends on the business model. Direct sales sites are good for at least 5K to 8K a month. At least in the academic niche I'm targeting.

Your friend may have been one of the guys the old VC firm I worked for bought out. Looking back now, I'm surprised at how simple the sites were that got bought out for $5M and up. The Dot Com days sure were weird days....
Andrew said:
Sweet deal. BTW, the old VC/Incubator firm I worked for collapsed in 2001. Even the $700M buyout for one of its projects didn't save it. Although 1998-2001 had a lot of excesses, it also had a lot of fun and exciting times. Nothing like the Dot Bomb era to make one think that one can change the world with a click of a mouse button. Very heady and strange times. Of course, now we're all a little more "realistic."

So do you still post? How often?
It sounds like your joy meter is flexible and goes where you go.......you are a fine example of what real success is all about. The best to you.
Well i make about 400 a month with my sites not much but i guess i can say i'm getting a free ride on my rent... Dont have to pay rent for my my apartment since my websites cover the bill:xmas-smiley-016:
I'm making about $400 per day now. Not too bad - I was a complete newbie when I signed up here a few months ago. Most of what I've learned has come from here, or on other sites that people mentioned here. So, thank all of you for your help. I really, sincerely mean that.
And the crazy thing is - there is *so* much more that I want to do now. In the beginning, I was going crazy trying to think up ideas to make money. Now I'm going crazy because I don't have time to implement even a 10th of what I want to do.
