There might be a lot of reasons for starting a website. Some of the possible reasons are:
Making money
Build your portfolio
Communicate
Build online presence, etc.
When I started my website, I was only thinking about making money. Ten months down, I am thinking something different. Now, I don't want my website to become a money-making machine, I want it to self sustain all the while building my portfolio and authority on the subject.

You are thinking great but nothing is bad you are also earning some with self sustain.

[Abigael]

The main reason why most people start a website is to make money. But others want to have an online presence for their business and that too is great.

You are thinking great but nothing is bad you are also earning some with self sustain.

making a lot of money and self sustaining are two different things. In order to make my site self sustain. I need as much money as I require to pay the domain and hosting renewal fee, which is just about $50 per year. In order to make my website work as a money-making machine, I will have to think about earning at least $300 per month.

To update site you also have to spend time for it, that why you are not interesting in earning.

You are interested in earning does not mean you are actually earning. making money from your site is not easy. Therefore, I was considering why should I concentrate on something that looks very hard. Why not try other things and let the site just earn maintenance cost.

If you want some other with no make money, then how you are going to keep it? Hosting, security and other charges?

Yes, the website needs to earn so that owner does not have to renew hosting and domain from his pocket. However, it is really important for a website to earn more than what it actually needs. Can we judge the success of a website based on the revenue it generates?

I think that the success of a site goes hand in hand with how much money it generates. Though there could be other deciding factors.

Money is an important factor for determining website existence as you need money to manage and run the website. However, traffic, domain authority, page authority, position on SERP are also equally important.

What is name of your forum?

[Netherrealmer]

You just need to use your eyes to know the name of my forum.

I believe that our website should generate income in order for us to pay for our domain and hosting and other necessary expenses to keep the site running. Plus our effort in creating contents should be compensated as well. I temporarily stopped my blogging activities because the income is not sufficient enough to continue. I know it is because of the time I can allot is not enough. But I know had I exerted more efforts, I should have been earning enough. But I am not closing my doors to starting again in the near future when I can give more time.

If you use blogger, you can apply for adsense and make money from adsense.Blogger also allows you to use amazon links. Have you tried these options.

Website can earn you some income, but setting up and managing that website is incredibly difficult and tiresome process. Domain and hosting charges, plugin and theme updates, including promotion of your content, all requires a lot of work. It depends on you, whether you are able to maintain your website which can be extremely challenging.

If you are happy and content with the result then there's nothing wrong with that. It would be a bonus if it generates more profit. Just do that makes you happy. Consistency is the key to success.
