launch a web site that brings in enough income that I can quit my day job


Start blogging about everything you know. Teach the world. Check your Analytics regularly to find out what of those things people are searching for. Use the Google Keyword tool to measure market potential of digging deeper on those subjects. Start spin-off sites if there's enough potential. Sign up appropriate affiliates. Develop information products around those subjects. Sit back and relax.


too much work & not scalable. sh1tm0nkey and all the "make money fast" people online tell you to do this... I used to hang out on forums with people who do this and I can say that 95% of them are broke, the other 5% are making money exploiting the other 95%.


I suggest signing up for the Challenge (formerly the 30-day challenge). It's just starting now and runs through the end of october.. you'll learn everything you need to know. The right way.
