    It really depends on what your definition of "real money" is. Enough to pay hosting fees and earn a little extra spending money? Enough to offer some substantial supplemental income? Enough to live on? And to live in NYC? Or to live in a small rural town in the US? Or to live in Bangladesh?

    I would say it took me 3-4 years to be able to do it full time/quick my job.

    My first income generated after 2 years 1 month online. I think it will take more than 1 years for getting regular money through Internet.

    To be true... Im 18 now, i started HTML when i was 5, growed up learning PHP.

    Today im pretty good at PHP scripting and could make whatever i like, still.. To bad.. No money after all..

    My first and only payment ever was €70 by google for placing ads at my proxies...

    Still, not making any money, not having 1 single money making website..

    But hey, after 13 years starting html / php / getting to know alot about websites, i will never give up!

    I'll just be relaxed, still working on websites every single day, till the day comes that i have some nice running websites! :)

    That's the thing Allardje, I am similar to you. The question should be: how long did it take until you made real money online FROM THE MOMENT YOU TOOK IT SERIOUSLY?
    Because otherwise it's difficult to answer, from where do you start? I started creating websites like you before 2000 for fun as a hobby since my hobby was already computing :)
    I think from the moment I took it seriously it was about one to two years before I made real money online, but what is real money, for everyone it is different :)
    For sure it took me way longer than if I was to start it all again from fresh with the things I know now and didn't have a clue about back when I started to take it seriously.
