The first year I am in the online business, I build two websites. But actually they were making little money. But I learned a lot from the experience. The second year, I still didn't make a lot of money. But the good thing is I was about to make my living. There are more than a lot websites on the net. But I can say, most of actually making no money. The reason is they didn't do things right.
