One year (and a half) earlier, I was making almost nothing (per month) from the Internet. I was looking here and there for ways to make money, tried almost everything; and made nothing.

Then I decide to stick to one thing: Create and sell scripts (http://codecanyon.net). They give you 50% and script prices are between $5 and $15 (too low). But there were a few making money with it (cool money), so why can't I?

First months, it sucked. I was working hard to release my first and second products. I discovered that it was hard to build something. I made little money ($5-$30/month).

Only this month (1 year and a half later) that things started to move. I'm about to cash $500 even I'm not optimizing my landing pages, improving my rankings, doing some promotion... [It's good to mention that I made around $1500 doing custom development related to my scripts]

And now I'm a whole lot more optimistic: I believe I can make $2k-$3k from CodeCanyon alone, and I'll be doing it in the next couple of months (and not next year). I'll write about my experience, and how I made it once I setup my blog.

But back to the original point: Persistence. Stick to your plan.
