I talk about how long it takes to earn your first $100...and beyond (with ACTUAL EXAMPLES).

* More Work = Faster Results
* How to beat the Google Sandbox (or waiting period)
* What happens after the first $100?
* How long to reach a $100 month
* I'll give examples of...
--- Time to the first sale on Amazon (32 days)
--- Making $1,400/month in a bad niche
--- Time to $100 (even for a full-time construction worker with a family)
--- Not quite reaching $100 (but with just 13 posts) on the side
--- Making $500/month in 1 year
--- Multi-hundred ($469)/ month in a Seasonal Niche
--- Reaching $4k/month in 14 months
