Five months of work so far.

When I was first introduced to WA and I went through the first 10 lessons, I was convinced that I would be making money somehow within 3 months at WORST.
Then after a few all nighters I realised it might take 3 months just to make my first sale. I was wrong. So far it's been 5 months and I haven't made a cent.
I never realised how long I would have to work on this without making any money but I will just have to push on and see if I've made anything after 12 months. If I still have not made a single sale after 12 months then I will most definitely cancel my WA subscription and finally give up.
So lets see what happens. I will be working at least 10 hours per week on one website until the 12 months are over.
Five months down, seven months to go. Hopefully working online can one day earn me a full time income.....

Somehow I doubt the possibility of this becoming a primary source of income UNLESS you ether studied web designing/development in college OR UNLESS you do this for around five years strait WHILE working a full time job.
I feel rather silly now after five months of working on this when I first thought I'd be doing this full time within 3 to 4 months if I worked hard at it, lol. Guess that's how we learn.
Another obstacle I have to overcome is the fact that I don't really have any knowledge, skills or interests that I can build a website around. I created mrandroider.com because I love the Android and Chrome operating systems and devices but I don't really have that much of an interest in it. Not enough to be writing about it every single day.
Problem is I'm not interested in anything to the extent where I can create a website around it. The only thing I am interested in is fleeing from the ruins of South Africa. (Monetising a site about fleeing the country won't be easy, not to mention I wouldn't know what to write about after a few weeks of posting)
Internet Marketing Products and Services bore me to death so it doesn't help I try and create a WA promo site ether. So now I'm trying to figure out what kind of website to create.
If all this fails though, I will submit to what life has become for 99% of the worlds population. I will go to work at least 5 days a week and ultimately work my life away.
Ok, lets see how the next 7 months unfold. At very least this can be a good insight into a story of someone who didn't know anything about internet marketing and web design that tried for 12 months to succeed with WA help. Will he succeed?
I'll let you know.
