A lot of genuine advice here I would advise you to at least have your expenses covered by your online revenue OR you have at least three to six months of savings (as compared to your salary) as your safety net.
I will agree with the other forumers' answers. Business is never a "confirm", so maybe you should "confirm" it by making sure that you earn money online for a few months first before penning your resignation letter. In fact, a few months may be too short... A year is the safest timeframe
ONLY quit if you have back-up funds in case of anything. The internet is random, one day your sites could get banned of adsense, or removed from Google's index. Make sure that in case of anything, you have enough to live of for about 3-4 months. The second thing is make sure not to keep all your eggs in the same basket. Make sure to have a variety in your income sources, the more variety, the higher your chances are of surviving in case of something.
I wouldn't quit my job unless I had a better income from my sites. Spend as much time AFTER work on building and promoting your sites until you have a decent income. Even then, I wouldn't quit my day job because it's guaranteed money. Maybe get your hours/shifts cut down but I wouldn't recommend quitting
I am making about $900 a week after tax here at my present job and I will be quitting in about 6 weeks. I am only making about $5 - $10 via internet a day at the moment...yes call me crazy but I just dont have enough time as I work 6 days. I want to give IM a big big shot ! MWahahhaha...Yes I am crazy
$5-10 a day is pretty good, yeap you had a good chance at a decent income if you work full time! Good Luck!
noobie2shoes, how long are you doing it ? If from Jan 2007 and you are at $5-$10 a day now I don't reccomend it. You'll need to learn more.
Hi, I first got into this in Dec 2006. Internet will hopefully make 50% of my income within the next 6 months and the other 50% will be bits and pieces around the place (non-IM related) I am confident as I will be able to spend 5-10 hours a day at this rather than 1 hour every 2-3 days.
I don't suppose you have asked your uncle/employer for more money? Generally, you don't get a raise if you don't ask for it. If there is no way of getting more in your current job then follow the advise above. I will add one thing to it. Work REALLY hard on your English. I know it's not your first language, and it shows it is not your first language. But if you get good enough at writing English you can easily make 500+ every week just writing articles for people. EASILY! I've taken in $720 so far this week, although that is a few big jobs finishing. But I really only do this part time while I try and set up a recurring income. For you - where you can live off $500 a month comfortably, you are in a fantastic position to get really RICH online.
Thanks! Actually one way the OP can help himself is to visit the forum and learn more ideas as well as post more often to improve his English, fluent English open doors.....
Thank you for your suggestions,do you know how to correct the title of this thread?Can you give me some suggestions to improve english?
Do what I do and Play games Online and tell your Missus to get a job, while she's working you can play games, when she gets home go "Wow I had a big day" and now if you want to get really tricky get another missus on the side and get her to work aswell - making sure that you handle finances. Now don't pay bills or rent and keep all the dough (making sure that all bills and rent are in their names of course) .... when you get busted by one it's time to move along and repeat .... Just tricking .... there's already a lot of good advice here.
Not sure how non native speakers learned a language but I think the main gist of learning a language would be Read more, Write more, Speak more and of course post on in English
That is exactly how I would do it myself, get a site that makes enough as your current job, keep your job so you have some overhead, and then when all seems right then quit that job, then you have some money set a side in case something does happen and you can start new ventures and test them. Brett.
Interesting to see all the advice here. If I was in same situation, I would look for another job to get out of the one I'm unhappy with. Part time work on the websites and once it generates enough to replace $500pm then can start looking at quiting the JOB.
Sure this is the rite time to start you own business. DP is good place to start with.... offer your services at DP and get some good clients. Best of luck
Good Advices over here this seems that people still give advice without any intension great work by all the members. So, Three Cheers for all the member's over here at DP. Now, in my opinion you should not leave the job but try to manage your business at free times this will certainly not broke you if you are beginning an online business and when you are very confident with your business after it's stable then you can do as you want.
