How hard is it to make a site that consistently makes $2-5/day anyways? If you can just make a site like this every week or so in a few years theres no reason why you shouldnt me making a good income off it.
too many sites=when they run your daily life (canceling appts. because you HAVE to put up fresh content, can't play catch with your son because your site doesn't enter itself into directories, fido will have to wait on the new bag of food because, hey, SEO takes time dammit!, etc.)
Thats the general consensus, but is it guaranteed? Probably not. Things change.. it's really hard to rely on that for future income without a back up plan.
why do things have to have fresh content, some crap sites I built in about 20 minutes tops each, 2 years ago and havn't updated since still make couple bucks a day today.
No need to have many sites without updating. But simple 5 to 10 sites with more regular updates will also good for you. The more update your site is, the more traffic will stay at your sites.
