I just got laid off from my current place of employment and have been up all night worrying about what to do. I wanted to come to GFY and ask people who I know have their shit together some questions.

It is obvious many of you make a living in this industry and that tells me that there are some very intelligent people on GFY. For every one person who makes a living off of porn there are probably a thousand who have failed.
I myself, have not closed any doors to the possibility that the sky is the limit but I am a realist and this is probably the toughest time in history to secure yourself in the industry. I am however, anticipating and looking ahead and I know for certain I am going to need supplemental income in the near future if I am going to make ends meet.
My initial goal would be to earn $500/month to feel a little bit of a safety net and to have confidence that this industry is a viable way to earn extra money. As of right now I just have two dinky sites that I mainly used as a hobby and to better learn CSS/HTML.

So my question for you Go Fuck Yourselfers; is my goal of $500/month a reasonable one and what do you feel the overhead cost would be on an initial investment? I just wish to run websites and use affiliate programs rather than shoot content or be shot. To keep the cost down I would rather start my own site(s) instead of purchasing existing ones but I am open to feedback on this and have a little bit of savings that I could maybe invest (would be very unnerving).

I guess I will wrap it up for now and look forward to some encouraging words. If you would rather email me I can be reached at: webmaster[at]afdnetwork[dot]com - or leave your ICQ and I can message you. Thanks guys.
