A living that is decent enough. Nothing huge and grand. No Vipers, no Ferrari's no Mansion's. I aim to make 4K a month at worse with everything I do.

I charge a $900.00 to 1400.00 for a tour design.

A foreign Designer will do a tour for $300.00.

Service is the same, design up to par with mine.

Everyday many American adult webmasters will choose the foriegn web developer hands down.

Its business.
It kinda sucks for hardworker like myself to compete with global pricing. Its the kind of business that makes me extinct.

This has been in the works for quite some time.
Stick to your guns and don't give in.. you will only regret it. Search for alternative sources of income, perhaps mainstream design. We have and it is MUCH more profitable.

I'm talking 200-400% profit instead of 10-15%
