   Targeted niche sites can do pretty well with direct ads even without a lot of traffic. 50k+ pgviews is a great start. Quick pitch - I work at isocket, a company that makes it easier to manage your direct sales. We take care of billing/invoi

    Looking at some of the comments you've made on HN its seems like you're not totally tech-ignorant. What do you do now? I would say that if you don't work at a startup now, join one where it's small enough that you can actually talk to/inter
