A great post-Eugene; I always considered two years, but I think it may take three for my blog to reach its full potential and find its direction. When I think about returning to university, I always assume it will be an intensive four-year course and then I will have to apply what I have learned. I really like this.

( but then I could have done a review of the small steak knives site and been a millionaire by now, lol ) Maybe maybe not!

My 2nd pension will be great regardless!

Though I think niche selection could probably use a little more attention.

I love this stuff! I hope all is good with you, Phil

PS Great insight on the quotes, and they are definitely relevant to reality.

Phil, I love your humor, thanks for coming.

Making money from a blog should be thought of as a long term goal, and not a quick solution. I’ve now started making small but regular monthly amounts. It’s taken me 2 years and two months so far, and my goal is to increase significantly over the next year. Focus and goal setting help as well as testing everything as you go.

Right on track Kathy, I figure the minimum to be two years, but we have to know this will be a permanent business, once we built our target audience.

Love the quotes. The fact is people starting a business online somehow think it will take less time to turn into a full-time business than a brick-and-mortar storefront.

Sure, costs are lower, and the time can be reduced by greater investment but you still need to learn your business and get your audience used to you. The trust factor is still the same so the time can be 2 years to get that relationship built.

Another great thought-provoking post.

"but you still need to learn your business and get your audience used to you." (THIS IS SO TRUE ANDY!!!!!)

I was really starting to worry about this, if I will ever get a good income, because honestly, after a year and a half of first learning all about it here, of course, and still, and having written about 120 blog posts so far, I only have about the amount monthly to pay for my subscription here lol.
So honestly, that is a bit demotivating. Not giving up yet and I know I have to keep learning and most of all writing, and writing, and writing. And it will be fine in the end, but three years seems like a very long time to be honest.
Anyway, thanks for this post!

" I have to keep learning and most of all writing, and writing, and writing" don't stop writing (that's he secret sauce) Thanks Lizzy

Your words have given us hope again, I am starting to feel that it's long and useless, thank you so much.

We need to be very patient but it will be worth it.
