The reason I don’t have a day job is because I can’t stand working for someone that knows less than me about what I’m doing. If I ever was to work for someone it would be because I knew that without our combined skill sets the work we were doing wouldn’t be able to get done.
That being said, I work for myself doing everything from website design to viral marketing. I’ve been able to keep a steady flow of cash coming in while banking a lot of it into savings. I don’t consider everything I’ve ever done to make money on the Internet ethical. That’s where a lot of people draw the line, just not me. Sure the good people over at MySpace and FaceBook never intended for their bulletins to be filled with affiliate links to college book stores. But if that can generate $700-$1500 a day in commissions then think about the money that college students are saving and the jobs it’s creating for Internet book stores.
However, you can keep your day job and still make a ton of extra pocket cash on the side if your willing to work outside the bubble of using websites the way they were intended. FaceBook doesn’t have to be about social networking, it can be about collecting information about a select group of people and then marketing products to them based on their interests.
With the right amount of thought put into it, you can be marketing products to 1,000,000+ college freshman using FaceBook group messages.
The right questions is, are you ready to quit your day job? Are your making enough money on the Internet that you can say goodbye to a steady income, job security, health insurance, benefits, 401k and the like? Your gonna have to be able to setup all this for yourself if your going to quit your day job to become an Internet entrepreneur.
