The reality is that anybody can make money with a website, but most people won’t do it as it requires A LOT of upfront work, and when you have to pay bills today, rather than 10 years later, it isn’t so lucrative.

Sure, you might not be the next media company, but you can get some money from the pie.

You don’t need lots of views, but you need some.

Most content websites fail because they don’t have sustained content running throughout the years, and the other thing is, they don’t have meaningful readership because they lack content.

But if you want to get something from a content website, then you need to do A LOT of upfront work, and all of it isn’t guaranteed, so most people aren’t risking it.

Even in a traditional job, you need to work for a month to get paid. Blogging requires more than that, especially if you aren’t running ads and your marketing is lousy.

With these things out of the way – everybody can make money with a website.
