Making money with my website?

How soon before my website starts making money?

• I'm just curious as to how long before my website will start generating money. If I do google AdWords, link with a lot of other sites, post in forums, newspapers, flyers, etc. etc. and do all the other proven marketing strategies, how long before I start rolling in the bucks? Generally speaking, how long before I can make at least $2000/month gross. That also can include the products I'll be selling. I'll be like an amazon dot com. Thanks.

• Answer:

  What is the actual product going to be?? You see, the problem is marketing. First you have to get people to find your site, which generally takes more than just getting search engine listings, you usually have to spend quite a lot to get the right kind of traffic. Then of course there is the fact that Amazon already exists and is very well established. Most websites do not make hardly any money at all. Try first to work for a web company yourself to get a feel for the terrain as they say. EDIT: Check out Bryan Hee's answer below - looks very thorough in my humble opinion...
