# I make about £2.50 a week
through advertising.

Yes the decimal point is in the correct place.

# Merch and prints and stuff?
That really is quite shit, not because of the amount of effort strictly as I'm sure there are lots of people that run websites which take lots of time and effort purely as a hobby, but because of the actual quality of the stuff.

I've just started a secret project type website which I'll be only updating with four things every week and only two updates in I can already feel myself losing the will to live.

# I sell next to no merch
Maybe a hundred quid's worth of income from it in a year.

I used to sell plenty of the big Biro-art prints but now I can't get them printed cheaply enough to break even so I've stopped doing them.

Thanks for the nice words. :D

# Do you at least get lots of readers/viewers/visitors?
I could handle putting lots of effort in for no money but to know your work isn't going out to as many people as it deserves to would be a bit sore.

# I get about 4 to 8 thousand page views a day
And I have around 600 RSS subscribers.

# That's pretty damn good I suppose (that's not sarcasm I just honestly don't have a clue what is good numbers)
Although it makes me angry that the bloke who writes Control Alt Delete can make a living off of it and you can't, especially as he can't draw and/or write.
