I currently have two websites.
One is about illustration tutorials — it contains many art lessons, and I’ve been running it for six months. So far, I’ve made around $1,000 in total, but since October, the income has slowed down dramatically, and now it only makes about $50 per month.

The other website is about dating education, and I’m planning to start a YouTube channel for it. However, I’m not very confident that this project will definitely succeed.

So I’m wondering — should I get a job, or keep putting all my energy into my websites?
In my country, the average monthly salary is only about $500.

I’m 25 years old this year.

My father passed away last year.
I live in my own house, so I don’t need to pay rent, and my living expenses are very low — even if I don’t work, I won’t starve.

What I’m really afraid of is that I keep taking action, but I still don’t see any significant results, like earning $20,000 per month.
If time keeps slipping away like this, I’ll soon be 30 years old, and success still feels so far out of reach.

What should I do?
If anyone could give me some advice, I would really appreciate it.
