Probably not. It is easy to think that making $40K right away is easy when reading sites like Techcrunch because all you see are successful startups. But like others have said, most startups fail. For a normal startup, it's not easy to get a lot of traffic right away, especially without much money to put out for marketing.

But, it's possible. It depends on your idea, execution, connections, etc. If you can establish some great partnerships, you will have a better chance at success. Good luck!
