How many of you quit your day job???

[Hosting_Solutions]

As the online world booms here in the new generation, many peoples have been lured in this field and have quit their job.

Do you guys plan or have quit your day job for your personal online business??

[dpSubi1]

I don't have any plan to quit my day job, we cannot depend on online business. We are not sure how long our clients will stay with us. :(

[kereta06]

I will quit my job if my businees online running very smooth and my income of online business is more than my job now. BUt i must learn more about online business before i quit from my job.

[Loskas]

Well my online business is not yet making enough money to do this, but I believe and hope that some day I got so large internet business going on that I don't need to do any other work.

[madx1980]

[pendelton]

What is a job? :)

[mark-20]

i am investing in a few online bissness, if i were to make my own a dont think i would get nerly enough to keep me alive, and am no into david blane drinking only water for 40 days! lol, a wish a could quit and work online but for now the most it will ever be is a parttime job if even that. most people dont bother about the money they make online for them it just funds them with a small hobby which is brilliant. the way a see it if a make some money its beter than none so am going to resign lol dont worry am jokeing but a wish a wasn't

What is a job? :)

Not too offensive but, is that a joke or what?

A job is a piece of work, esp. a specific task done as part of the routine of one's occupation or for an agreed price

[pendelton]

Sorry, the smiley was the punch line. I sold a business and I am comfortable for now, thus my use of the internet to generate additional income streams. I do not want to become uncomfortable.

You know, I've been called a piece of work, does that make me a job? ;)

[cenfos]

not many i think...just for pleasure.for noobs like me.i don't quit my daily job very easily..
i am not a problogger.if i am..earning bucks i will definitely consider quitting my job

[paul]

I left my job long ago and started as full time freelancer and now no regrets bcoz now i'm my own boss and can schedule my time. But i won't recommend unless you are dedicated, self motivating. Analyse yourself, check your resources and see if it suits you. Then go ahead, its like any other business that demands time and resources.

[Cynthiab]

Well I still have plenty of "jobs" but not the kind you go to 9-5 and sit behind a desk. I work from home as a writer, web producer, even if it's freelance I have clients. So I guess instead of quitting my "Day Job", I just turned it into a "day job" I really love. (And that also becomes my "night job" as well.)

[pendelton]

Cynthia, is it a job or an activity that you like doing that make money as a bonus?

[gnine11]

I have already quit my job to start my venture in online world. Right now I have a team of 3 people. All are engineers in my team but very passionate and dedicative. To start a business most important thing which you need is team i.e people whom you can trust and who trusts you and your idea.

My motive is to provide all the online solution to those companies which are naive and don't have online presence. Though, i haven't find my first client yet, mine determination and perseverence is still high.

Best of luck everybody.

[Cynthiab]

Cynthia, is it a job or an activity that you like doing that make money as a bonus?

I'm not sure what you mean by this but the way I see it. If I work for a client who pays me it's a job. The fact that I love doing it doesn't make it any less of a job.

An activity sounds like you mean hobby in this sense.

[pendelton]

I suppose I do. I at the point that I do not do it if I consider it a job, that is just no fun.

[BlueEew]

I have not quit my day job. Do you want to know why? I have never had to get one, I have been doing webmastering since I was fifteen/sixteen. I am still sixteen and I don't feel the need for a job yet.

I have the Internet.

[crystalbrite]

Before I can really consider quitting my day job, I have to look into securing a steady inflow of cash money every month. It's not easy but it's possible. Rather than having to travel to office daily and confronting boss, I would rather look into working at home. If only that's possible.

[pendelton]

It is possible, you just have to formulate your plan on which of the dozens of options are right for you, pick one or two you really like and work at them, as they start doing well you can add more, if they do not pan out you should check what you are doing, maybe something is not right, and try it again, or, move on with your list. Keep working at it and do not despair at any set backs, use them as learning lessons and move on, always forward.

Good luck to you crystal.

For me, it is too risky to quit job just for doing online business. However, if you already got well-established income online, why not?
I have a friend who did quit job and currently do e-commerce site and now become a silent millionaire

[genX]

This online business is very risky and volatile.......it's better to do a job although it can be done side by side to have assuring of constant income........

[BlueEew]

If your young like a teenager in education go for it. However if you are a working man or woman then decide to use the Internet to earn. I would advise not to take that large step.

Work slowly.

I hope I can also do work from home. It's not easy because there are a lot of things to consider because we quit our job. It is risky to say and unless you really have a strong foundation to make steady earning everyday, this option is still hard.

[BlueEew]

Anyone who is willing to learn can work from home. However just because you are working at home. Dosen't mean you get to just chill and watch the money come in all day.

You need to treat your work time as you would at work, and you also need to spend lots of your time on the Internet at home.

[harshads]

I am a student so there is no question of quiting job but I know people who quit their jobs and now earning on the internet.
So it's inspirational from such people to learn about and think about the future.

[BlueEew]

That is a very good point. I have just left school. As I started learning before I atually got a job. I never had to get one in the first place. Always plan for the future and think big. :)

[rachael24]

No way am I quitting my job...Especially when I am in the first stages of getting my business up and running. Maybe in a few months when I make my first million. ;)

[BlueEew]

The point in this is because it's the online section. We mean because we are now earning online "Have we quite our real life job?". I think you are misunderstanding what we was discussing. :)

[sarahFreder]

hi, well what i suggest to you was better do it in your free/part time. because internet marketing will not click for all the people when started you have to get more practical experience to earn money.

[superbike]

Most people I know have full time job and just make online business as side income. They just spend a few hours for online business, which sometimes hard for some people to commit.
But bear in mind that if you have permanent job, please think wisely before quitting your job. Most of full time online business people that I ever met, told me that they spend from 12 to 15 hours everyday which is too you much time they spend in front of your computers. If you think you cannot do the same, I might suggest that you just keep your current job

[Fergal]

... Most of full time online business people that I ever met, told me that they spend from 12 to 15 hours everyday which is too you much time they spend in front of your computers...

That is a very good point. I find that I', simply unable to spend a huge amount of time in front of a computer, my back gets sore and my eyes get tired. It's not that I don't want to spend the time, or don't enjoy it, it's just very difficult and I'd imagine quite unhealthy.

[hrcanada1]

I will quit working when I am dead, not because I have to but because I want to. I love my job, would do the same thing if I won the lottery today. I have multiple sites making decent money, I love doing that too.

[Fergal]

I admire your attitude hrcanada1, what types of sites do you own?

[benton672]

Analyse yourself, check your resources and see if it suits you. Then go ahead, its like any other business that demands time and resources.

[Jerlene]

It took me a few years to quit my real life job but I was finally able to. I've been working online only for the past three years now. Love it.
