I feel like I'm wasting time

Well that's how I'm feeling at the moment.

Mind you this month I have made more money online than any other month since I started one year ago. I know I know I have only made $120 dollars (£60), but it's the first month I have really taken any kind of action.

I have another website up for sale on Sitepoint. I listed it for sale two days ago and at the moment the current bid is $145. I spent a lot of time on this website and it will be kind of hard to let it go. But initially I made the site to sell it, so I musn't get too attached. If you would like to check it out here is the URL:

I am hoping to get a little more for this website, but I will still be happy to let it go for $145. That will take this months earnings up to $265.

So why do I feel like I'm wasting time?

For the last two days I have done nothing but watch the auction. I still realise that making and selling websites is not going to make the the kind of money I want.

But I love the whole process of doing it. I love having the initial idea for a site, then making it. I love the feeling of achievement once the site is completed. I also love putting the site up for sale and seeing it sell.

It is common knowledge that a website will sell for significantly more if you have some traffic and revenue, and if the website is a little older. So maybe that's the road I need to go down next.

It's still all about the instant cash though to keep me motivated. So I think for every brand new turnkey website I make to sell, I Will make one to keep for myself.

I will then get them earning a little money and getting some traffic. Then after a few months I can sell them for more.
