Lots of good points here.
I'd like to ask if there is a thread somewhere at NP about average earning figures? I only seem to read some people alluding to big figure cash-ins, or others to never making any sales or significant income. But not much in-between stuff I can find.
I guess everyone's skills are different. But reading about different people's average parking revenue, or development revenue, resale profits, after 6 months, 2 years, etc etc would be a nice way for newbs to get grounded/ realistic about what might lie ahead for them.
For instance, how realistic is the aim of earning $250 (or $500) a week from developing good names with affiliates/ adsense, after 6 months in the business? I've got no idea if that is ridiculous, or absolutely obtainable.
Perhaps this sort of info is kept close to the chest - or it's just not done to ask - if so that's cool and would be important for newbs to know, too.
