bya i'm sure you can scrape some resin out of that bowl if you're out of shit...

i agree somewhat - but I feel if you are developing content sites its much more like starting a small business, not like trading.

but if you are doing a bunch of auto gen arb and blackhat shit then you are looking for a big score quickly - is a lot like developing an automated trading strategy (I traded equities for a couple of years).

that being said, you can view this like the market in that you should diversify your niches, ways of monetization, etc in order to spread your risks out.

i also feel like it is 'easier' to succeed at this than at trading. if you trade, you need to do it full time - and it takes a shitload of capital to trade right (that was my problem- I only had $5k and was trading $500k...not much room for error... I still made some cash, but not enought to live comfortably on), but you can start some simple aff sites or small content adsense sites for nearly free - and even program a larger site for under $5k. Once you have those things up and running it's not like you are at the mercy of the market - you control every little detail!
