how many of you left your day job ??

I too wish that I'd started in this game ten years ago but there still has to be a way to make a living from it. I'm hoping that I can improve my standard of living from my websites but I can't actually see me leaving my job anytime soon (of course that's still my aim and dream tho).

I'm currently making a profit and I'm hoping to keep improving on that.

I see my site as an interesting and mentally stimulating challenge which is currently more important to me. I'm now updating my site with lots of content on a daily basis now due to some shell scripts that I've written on my server and that makes me happy.

Onwards and upwards

 

I did that too, Im making more than I could imagine.

 

Where I live it's near impossible to earn over $1000 a month so I decided not to work and concentrate on Adsense.

 

The 4 figure income per month, allowed me to quit my job.
How stupid I was working for other people.

Adsense about 30% of income. Affiliate 40%. 30% other various online sources.

 

I just called my ex boss and told him that I don't need that job anymore

 

Still student never had a day job..

 

i didnt find a jot yet so adsense cool for me

 

It's been a year for me now. YEEHAH!!

 

some people have never even had to start working:

I don't think I would leave my dayjib even if I made 5k per month with adsense. I'm a manager at my dad's business which will be mine in a year or two. While google is awsome today it may go bankrupt tomorrow. Getting the extra revenue from google is always sweet but I coulnt rely on them completely to pay my bills. Although google does pay for my fresh 07 charger RT

 

Only 1k/month can add the end of my current work, I hope to do so

 

never took up a job , i hate travelling in local here during peak working hours, thats major reason i prefer to work from my place.

 

i'm so near to leave my day job

 

Nice thread.

I haven't left my job yet, but have planned to do so in near future

 

The Webmaster is right. Best wait until you make some serious steady cash before saying Bye, Bye to boss!!

 

I love my day job...if I didn't i would have already quit!

 

I doing this along with teaching that's my first day Job... as you call it
it's for short time only and not paying goood so i'll quit for sure

the only thing left for me is to go all digital till the bone !

 

I've been working at this for about 14 months and I'm 1/30th of where I need to be to quit my day job. So, by my calculations I should be able to leave my day job about 10 years after mandatory retirement sets in. Of course, if I work my numbers a bit (like anticipate 10% growth per month from current) I could leave my day job in another 3 years.

 

I wish I could leave my day job... But I am hopeful, and I am sure it will happen one day

 

How much should somebody earn before quitting their job?
