I just play it by ear. No deadlines or goals. I think every project is different.
Vision Directory's growth is largely dependent on the success of Apple Vision Pro and the number of apps being developed for it. Right now, that's lower than expected. So I don't spend a ton of time on developing the site. But I keep it running in the hope that Apple Vision Pro will gain popularity and so will the site.
As for ballpark metrics, you can look at industry CPM rates. For example, if your industry has a $5 CPM that means you can charge about $5 per 1,000 ad views. So if your site has 50,000 pageviews per month, you can expect a ballpark of $250/mo in advertising revenue if you were to show one ad and have an advertiser lined up for the full month.
It's not a perfect science, especially at lower numbers, but it gives you a ballpark for advertising revenue.
For other types of revenue is really depends on your unique situation.
