I have been through the same. I originally had a site to sell shell gifts back in 2003. I sold one necklace for $12 and that was it. I even tried selling in person at stores, but had no luck.

The best income I had was building websites early on and I made a few thousand doing that on the side. I have for the last 7 years been trying to make something, but have not had much success. Build it and they will come has been a failure for me.

I am trying to use some of the methods Pat Flynn talks about in his book Will It Fly. Look for the audience first, the one that has an existing problem.
