"Hi Don - Thanks for posting. The profitability of a website in the first year depends a lot on the industry you're in, but I agree, more often than not if you're profitable in the very first year you're doing pretty good.

Unfortunately, many website owners don't know how to roll up their sleeves and actually work, and they expect unrealistic profits within the first few months. These individuals usually aren't around long enough to realize realistic profits." by Brian Kaldenberg
