And to reply in somewhat to lee's post before he blasted Max.

I truly beieve that the best way for a "newbie" to make money is to come into the industry in a niche that he was a surfer for. A niche where he knows who lists the content he likes. A niche where he has seen all the free TGP galleries, free sites, paysites, etc.

He already has experience. He has seen it all. And since he enjoys the niche his dedication to make it work will be very vauable.

But having a newbie get advice that XYZ niche is the most popular and goes head in not knowing anything about it. He will have atough time no matter what.

I started with site in a niche I loved and surfed and knew lots about. I knew what urned me on in that niche, and ultimately what turns me on enought to buy will turn others on as well.

That's a good starting point. Pick a niche you love and are willing to make it work. With enough devotion, I believe you will succed no matter if u start with tgp, Ll, or whatever u decide to do. Success is related to determination.

Many of the most successfull webmaster have fallen flat on theur face many times before. It's about your belief and yourself and drive that determines ulimately if you will succed.
