In averaging $8 a month, I figure to make something I could at least pay a few bills with, I'd have to have about 50 sites and to be able to actually live off something like that, maybe 300. Of course, the more traffic, the more clicks so if my site was actually being seen, I wouldn't need to build 49 more. And regardless of what these people are saying about no work, big checks, they are maintaining sites and blogs to generate income.
Ain't nothing free....

I think you're misunderstanding me.
I didn't mean that those people don't work. That simply isn't true. However, even when they're not working, their websites are still generating revenue because the internet never closes down like a bricks-and-mortar store. If you work a 9-5 job, you're only making money from 9am to 5pm. But with a successful website, you're making money 24/7 even if you only work to maintain and update the website 4 or 6 or 8 hours a day.
And it isn't just these "how to make money" bloggers that use this scheme to create income. All of the thousands of political blogs, celebrity gossip blogs, dating blogs, news blogs, humor blogs, etc. have the same profit-generating structure.
