    Hi guys,

    I am a recent addition to the forum.

    I would just like to share the
    reasons why I have started with IM if I may.

    Hoping you'll return the favour.

    In brief: I was made redundant in Oct 2008 after
    which I spent 6 months on job seekers allowance
    tirelessly searching for a job but nothing for 6 months.

    Then - hurray! - I landed a job. The pay was better than my
    previous job and I loved it!! I was on a temp contract but both
    my managers told me it was more or less a done deal that
    I would be made permanent. After 7 months in post they let me go.

    So it's Oct '09, I have lost my job again. Another 6 + months on job
    seekers allowance. I applied for so many jobs it wasn't even funny.

    By the time I get my next job
    its July this year 2010. 25 hrs per week. 6 month contract.

    It has become clear that I need to find a way to generate income for myself.....
    with little start up cost. Hello internet marketing :)

    Fingers crossed.

    I got started in this whole thing when I was 14. I didn't like the idea of mowing lawns as a summer job so I started looking into website flipping and now I'm into MLM.

    Internet marketing is really awesome! Why? Because you join some products + some actions + some peoples and you receive really nice profit and fun. Sometimes on total autopilot! And you can generate passive income for many years. This is some reason to start IM in my case.

    I agree that rather than waiting to find a job, doing a freelancing job helps you earn decent money and also improves your skills.

    I used to work and get a decent salary,
    but after several years, when i see my seniors
    getting lay-off, or retire without any income,
    I start to tell myself, i need to do something
    before something terrible happen to me,
    and that's getting old and become a liability to
    others.
    So i started to do all the things to get money
    but passively.
    I work on IM, stocks trading, gold trading,
    anything that are passive or require not much work.

    Once my capital built up, i will look into properties investment.

    I hope to Retire Free and Rich.

    To me, earning a lot of money doesn't equal to happiness,
    what is important is that i must have the money and the
    time to enjoy and spend.
