<prompt> Human: Five years ago I started a website then about three years ago it started earning money. Year One: 0Year Two: 800Year Three: 13,000Year Four: 55,000Year Five this year: 115,000 Im assuming Ill make about 150,000 by the end of the year. All these figures are before taxes which are a bitch since Im self employed. I put minimal effort into the website. Ive gone a few months without touching it. So its kind of insane that the site is doing this well. Additionally, Ive just finished my masters in advertising and I live in NYC. Im searching for a full time job and Ill probably make about 45kyr starting out. Advertising can pay well once you have a few years of experience but it would probably take me 6 years before Im making around 150k. But Im starting to think Im crazy for not dumping all my time into my website. On the other hand, making money online can be a little fickle, and while I dont do anything remotely sketchy with my site, there is always a risk that I could lose traffic if Google changes their search algorithmsresults. I make all my money on affiliate marketing so I rely on traffic from Google. Another thing to factor in is my age. I am in my early 30s so Im already 5-8 years behind other people in the Advertising world in terms of experience. So yeah, Im not sure if I should try working on my site full-time or if I should keep working in advertising while adding more content to my site as I have time. Other information:My wife makes 50kyr. We have a total of 30k in student loans thats our only debt.  <response>: Im gonna give you some advice that the lentilheads might disagree with. Take a year or two and go balls deep into this thing. Year 5, youve earned 150k. Thats 3 years worth of your entry level position. So youve earned this years pay, plus the next two. Youre gonna take that capital and invest in something which obviously gets you excited. I cant guarantee youll succeed. But at the worst you have a really good series of experiences to market yourself with. And youll know what was behind Door 2. Thats worth a lot in my book.
