Keep your expectations low and treat this business as you would any other. Don't be fooled by the glam and the glitz...it takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, money, blood, sweat and tears to make yourself a part of that glitz and glam ? it doesn't happen easily, and it doesn't happen quickly. The people that enjoy it today earned it the hard way, and you'll have to do so as well. In short: Plan in advance ? have options to work with, keep some capital aside to sustain yourself while your site develops and grows into something profitable ? keep your expectations low, but aim high

Is it possible to set your expectations too low? I want to do some amateur content production to one day release on a clip store, pay site or sell the rights to outright. I have no delusions of getting rich off of this; if I can make enough profit to pay off my modest rent while I keep my day job, I'll be happy. Is that a reasonable expectation?
Might it also be beneficial for someone to set a financial limit for themselves? Like, a pledge to quit once they spend a certain amount of money that there's no likely hope of earning back?
For example, I've pledged to devote no more than $30,000 to this over the next 3 years. Once I've spent $30,000 and am not close to earning any of it back, I'm out. Think that is a good idea?
