9-5 is totally dead end now, wouldn't go back even if I was paid three times what I'm earning. I like the freedom I have that I have earned and I can do what they can do but much better!
The possibility of beginning in one particular area of interest, and then being able to expand into different / related areas, is the thing I probably find most exciting about the whole concept! I wish I'd started getting involved back when I was that age.
Through websites (affiliate programs ppc.. etc) and a myriad of services I offer on forums like these, and content type websites.. I support five children, a husband, and an uncle bob.
I wouldn't say this is a living, but I'm a college student trying to make ends meet, and I haven't worked since I was 16 (part laziness, part I'm too afraid to work after my first and only job).
I've answered yes. I earn enough from internet marketing to make a full-time living, although I also make money from trading and have a few other investments. Don't know where I would be now, or where I would have ended up, if the internet had never been invented.
I've been marketing online, full time now for about 3 years. I can definately say that it's not easy and there is alot to learn if you want to succeed.
