Can I live from the internet?

    Is it possible to pay your bills just from money you've earned from the internet? I'm 15 years old now, and I make about $2 - $5 daily, for which I worked really hard. Now I really want to know if it's possible to make this my job. Thanks in advance,

    Edwin.

    At 15, I would stick to school and prepare myself for a career. If you find an opportunity in online income you can always leave your day job. But give yourself an alternative in case internet marketing doesn't work out (which is the case for the huge majority of all those who try...)

    I'm going to school, I'm in highschool at the moment. Once I'm done with highschool I'll go to a graphic lyceum, which could help me in the internet world, but which could also get me a career as a shampoo-bottle designer :p

    There are people you make $1 and six figure income online. yes, it is possible but depends on what you do. you will need to put lots of hard work.

    Yes, it is more than possible but requires time and patience. Since you are only 15, I strongly suggest you to continue schooling and get some good grades. Education is much more important than money, friend. :)

    Really a good point, seo4china!!!

    Internet-based revenue is a nice dream... But for the vast majority of people it will remain - only a dream.

    If you do work hard and you are really interested in this, then yes, you can
    However, you need to learn more and more to get into this line

    At the age of 16 I was developing small niche sites and selling them for 50-100 a piece. I was making about $600 a month. Until I started to get serious about school again because I noticed the decline in jobs online. There's still a future but don't through down a good education for a non physical world.

    Working hard by itself won't get you far. You need to work smart, which can involve working hard.

    It depends on what you are doing and how successful your business is.

    This is my first year solely living off online income and it has been going more than well so far :)

    At 15 I suggest concentrating on your studies, but do not stop your online ventures. Do it on a part time basis. Maintain it and let it slowly grow. Who knows by the time you graduate you may have a sizable online income? But studies come first at your age.

    Yes you can. I have been working fulltime on the internet since 1999 and I've already bought my own house, 2 cars, properties and savings just from working on the internet. I started with only a Pentium-1 PC with a slow dial-up connection, $0.00 investment.

    There are millions of opportunities out there. The internet is like the second world we live. All you have to do is find your place to do business. Sell products and services, innovate things so you may provide the "need" to make life easier and faster.

    You're 15 years old, your mind is still fresh and active.. I'm sure you can do a lot more. You just need to invest your time, effort and dedication.

    Replicate it x 100 or more, find a way to make it easy and enjoyable to work with. Study more and find ways to improve what you're doing.

    All the best!

    I started out young on the internet and still am. Only recently have I started to make money off of they internet. One thing I have learned is that making real cash on the internet is very hard and requires a lot of time and patience. When I started out I would start a site and then get frustrated that it didn't magically get traffic and then start a new one. Now when I start a site I stick with it and through time it has paid off.

    Correct, it does requires a lot of effort, human hours, stress and thinking to make real money off the internet not like what others were thinking about easy money.
