I feel your current struggle. I am a relatively new IMer and currently am focused on growing my main site devoted to mountain biking here in our home state of Texas. There is so much learning involved and so many things to do. I struggle daily to make progress on the site after I finish my day job. I wanted to let you know that I love your content when it comes across. I look at you and select others as my team of trusted advisors. You provide some great advice and it was your work that really got me started. Seeing someone succeed in their IM pursuits while maintaining a day job as well is encouraging to me. I know that if you can do it, then I can as well.Keep pushing through these busy and hard times Mark. I believe that one day you can reach @patflynn status.

I think I agree with you.
 
I’ve listened to lots of podcasts where the guest interviewee has spoken about the fact that they have several internet sites that are all doing well and that they haven’t touched some of them for months and are still bringing in a nice income. However, how long can this passive income last? Surely even if you have a huge readership eventually things will dry up if you don’t refresh the site or add new content regularly.
 
I’m just starting out, juggling my internet business with work at the moment, and I’ve noticed that if I don’t do anything on my site for just one day my traffic numbers drop. You certainly have to have lots of self-discipline and motivation to keep going. I suppose you have to create a certain amount of momentum before you can sit back a little and reap the rewards (as Pat Flynn says). I don’t think I’ll reach that point for sometime yet but that’s okay because I’m really enjoying building my business and seeing my hard work pay off.
 
Thanks for the post, I’m really enjoying this series.
Jan
