Yes it's high if you work at it for a year or two.

if you work at it for a year or two

so this 10k/month figure is averaged from how many years?

There's no average. It's just a target. You don't get $10/k a month overnight. It's a figure that you work toward. Many people don't need that much to live. It depends where you're at. If you need 5k/month to live then you can reach your goal even faster. $10k/month seemed like a good goal for the article that could support most people.

There's no average. It's just a target.

uh, okay. then you might want to update your blog before there are 1000s of unemployed web developers building their lifestyle web apps for eternal target of 10k/month.

'Entrepreneurs' who can't think critically for themselves regarding their potential are in for a rough ride.
