Default Whats Your Day Job?

Whats up warriors Im just driving down the road and I got to wondering. How many other fellow warriors stills have that dreaded day job that they oh so want to leave and what type of work you do? I bet its not worst than my job.

So to start I work at round table pizza making $8 an hour as sign shaker. I work about two hours a day so in reality I only make like $16 a day less if you include taxes.

I takes my small checks and reinvest it into my cpa business and let me tell you I only make like $200 every two weeks on a good pay day.

So it can be done even for a peanut making sign shaker like myself. and t set the record straight I work still because I get free pizaa and I love my coworkers.

Plus I learn so much about people and what makes them buy.

So what do you do living?

I'm a Director of Direct Marketing at a local Internet firm here in Marriottsville, MD. In reality, it's just a fancy title for "telemarketer" plus miscellaneous stuff like researching suppliers, answering phones, and thinking of new ways to bring in leads.

It's incredible to work at a small business, though. You pretty much get to participate in every aspect of the company. It's great.

Best Regards,

I have been working as a full-time internet marketer for a relatively long time now. However, before I break the code of IM I worked as freelance web designer here in my town and also as video editor. I was making something like $350 a month. I live in Brazil and it's more here than in the US, but it still is very low.

It was hard for me to make something works online, because I'm not a native english speaker and had no money to invest on my online business. However, I got it, and now I think that anyone can do the same with persistence and focus.

Hi Billard,


Full time Internet Marketer/Entrepreneur here. Luckily I saw success relatively quickly so didnt have to grind it out like many people. Natural born entrepreneur I guess.

And assuming I play my cards right, I will never have to work for anybody again!! (except "working for investors/vc's" that sort of thing perhaps...but will never have an hourly schedule and a boss to report to)

I know most people work full time and then convert to full time online once their online income matches their offline.

The great thing about living in Thailand (I believe) and other countries with favorable exchange rates, is that you can earn your income in US dollars even though you live in these other countries. Each US dollar equates to a higher purchasing power.

So, making $100 a day is a modest living here in the US but a substantial living in many places abroad.

I had a guy a fwe weeks ago (forget which country) who said if he can get to the $50 a day mark he would be "living like a king" or something along those lines. How cool is that!

Anywho...back on topic

I work as a computer technician, for a govenment ministry in my country. The pay really isn't that great and these past few weeks have been tourture as I have been reassigned to a different section. As much as I like repairing computers and trouble shooting network problems, I really want to have my own business and my own financial freedom.

I've recently got into CPA, not much success yet, but i'll keep plugging away until I can live my dreams.

I've been a full time affiliate marketer for about three years now. Loving every minute of it.

Just recently transitioning into running a few other companies as well. Some people love their regular jobs and will never leave - but for those of you that want to become a full time marketer - just keep taking action and you'll get there.

Full-time Mom of 4 here - I work on my IM throughout the day in between cooking, cleaning, and driving kids around.

From 1998 through May 2009 I had my own very successful web design/programming business. I was so busy that for 3 years my Accountant hubby stayed home and did the Mr. Mom thing. However, when the economy tanked, my main clients couldn't afford me anymore. I was also a bit tired of helping everyone else's bottom line, so I started looking into IM.

I'm now able to earn online about half of what I was making at the peak of my web design career, but it's enough to pay the bills, and I'm continuing to work on increasing it.

Grrrr and to think that with the hyper inflation I am expecting, my dollar is worth even less!

I was just PMing with somebody from Romania who said the average laborer makes $200 a week their which is 10k a year! And that was a great income over there! $100 a day is living extremely well!

Thats great man. Stick with it! Very few people actually enjoy what they do these days.

And thats the great thing about IM. Its much easier to "enjoy" than many other professions! If you enjoy golf, BAM go into golf related IM stuff. If you like garden gnomes, go into affiliate marketing of garden gnomes I find it sooo cool!

Use your SEO knowledge to build organic campaigns. Its always good to leverage what you already know into your CPA strategy.


An SEO business is great, but im always a fan of making myself rich, not others. With your experience, you should have no problem jumping right into the CPA action!

A business degree is still a great asset to have but entrepreneurship is what its all about. Make yourself rich, not others.

And internet entrepreneurship is even better. You can literally start with $0 investment and 0 monetary risk and build a multi-mil business.

Right on Kenster,

I want to build my multi-mil internet business too, but I don't want to have to get out of my Pj's before midday. Do you think I can do it?
YEAH!!!

Hi! Warriors,

I love the name, entrepreneurs are Warriors, they have to be because of all the nay sayers and dream killers out there in the world. And, if you are not a Warrior, then you will be in the rat race hating life and NOT making a difference in the lives of people!

I have been a member for several months but this is my first post. I plan to be more active in my posting probably once a week or at least once a month.

My day job is a high school teacher for 15 years. Before this I was a repo man in graduate school. The company I worked for was unethical and I quit the job with $1200 in the bank and newly married. My first real job was a Former World Ranked Tennis Pro. This was hard to give up when I was in my 20s but I had to grow up:-) hehehe!

I fell upon IM while trying MLM, I didn't know there were youngster in their 20s making millions. When I found this out I thought to myself I CAN do this!

What got me hooked in was I dabbled with ClickBank and I got paid $407.00 my first check then $545.76 my second check. I thought to myself, just add zeros to this and I can quit my job as a high school teacher and spend MORE time with my wife and the 3 Mack Kids. Now, if you know anything about teachers, we work for 181 days and get 182 days off. Hard life huh? It is if you do not like teaching teenagers. But, I love to inspire and motivate the at risk kids. I love to help under dogs. But, I hate the pay although it is decent.

Well, the economy where I live is very sluggish and my wife has been a stay at home mom with the 3 Mac Kids for 9 years. I want to transition from teaching to teaching and coaching personal development info. products on the Internet. Sometime down the road I will complete my book and membership site BeRichandHappyTOO dot com a Formula for HAPPY living you want to sit on. My frame work is a chair. I cover six areas that must be strengthened to Be Rich and Happy TOO!

Anyhow, I lost $65k in the stock market crash in 2008. Well, I want to keep my wife as a stay at home mom and me too. I realized that I can and will succeed in this industry so I invested over $20,000 (really more but I do NOT want to my wife to panic) of my money studying Internet Marketing from three types of Internet Marketers. I talk about it in my eBook I am writing, Through the Forest of Internet Marketing. I just don't know if I should sell it or give it away to build a list and up sell the audio portion? Go to my blog here and read my two post. And, if you have a list, read my 2nd blog post, I am looking for JV partners.

Anyhow, let me tell you that you are at the right place being here at the Warrior Forum. I think anybody and everybody who has a yearning to make a better life is here. My commitment is once I make the money I will set up a subscription membership site that I will put aside 10% of my gross profits to help make certain those who truly want to succeed in Internet Marketing will get the support of the 10% as a scholarship as long as they continue on my membership site. I know I am giving a way a strategy, but if other successful IMs do it MORE Power to US all!

If you are honest, hardworking, and you want to build the kingdom of God. I want to be your friend. The key is to leverage our talents with good, hardworking people, that are honest, and are willing to do MUCH good in the world. Helping all those people seeking for a better life that are NOT lazy, but truly what to make an IMPACT in the world and NOT indulge in the mindset of center of the universe syndrome.

I have no problems being transparent and in Internet Marketing it is really hard to find out really who anyone is. Check my profile and if you are good hearted and you want to change the world for good let's join forces and together let's make the money we desire (ethically) and gain financial freedom together!

Wow! Long winded aren't I. Anyhow, I will work to build a network of Internet Marketing crusaders who want to do GOOD and HELP those who have the same desire! My talents and resources is FOCUSED on this objective!

Check me out and do your due diligence and let's work together and build a team of honest, hardworking, do gooders on the Internet to HELP the honest and sincere at heart people who have jobs they HATE, And their potential is hidden under a rock.

My wife is only giving me until Sept., 2011 to do this or else I will be a school teacher the rest of my life and I will have to bury my passion for entrepreneurship! Sad day if that happens that is why I am working very hard and studying as MUCH as I can to reduce the learning curve. NOW, it is time for me to TAKE MASSIVE Action!

I know it is a BIG Introduction for my first post! However, when you get to know me you will know that I am a no nonsense pragmatic result oriented GOOD Hearted man who loves God, family and country...and I am a complete 2nd Amendment supporter! Done:-) LOL was that long?

I had a guy a fwe weeks ago (forget which country) who said if he can get to the $50 a day mark he would be "living like a king" or something along those lines. How cool is that!

Anywho...back on topic
I was born in the Philippines but migrated here in Canada 14 years ago and now a Canadian citizen. English is not my first language but trying hard to learn it.

Ken is right about having a $50/day & living like a king. At the moment the conversion rate of $ 1.00 to Philippine Peso is about 45.00. If you want to have a lifestyle that is above average income earners a $600.00/month is sufficient in the Philippines.

Anyway, my day job is working as a Technician in a aerospace industry. I've been working in this company for about 13 years now. I love my job because it's not that physical and I get along almost with everyone. My pay is one of the highest in our province. I also do wedding & portrait photography on the side. It's one of my passion.

The reason why I'm trying to crack the code in affiliate or CPA world is I want more holidays of course. And I want my wife just to stay @ home to take care of my 10 & 12 yrs old kids. I've been off & on with internet marketing but getting serious lately. I've bought a lot of ebooks in the past, but I've discovered that CPA is one of the easiest & most lucrative online biz.

I'm also planning to retire early so i can enjoy more quality time with my wife & kids. This is my dream or vision & i wrote that down.

I work at a law firm as a paralegal, I love my job! I also do modeling on the side, which I also love! I love to write, and that makes up my last piece of my rising career, everything I do, I love to do it. If I find myself in a situation that I'm not fond of, I get up and get going to the next step in my life!

I'm a chiropractor myself... Just finished school a few years ago, bought a practice, expanded it to include two massage therapists, and now work only about 25 hours a week myself.

Why IM for me? While I do love my job (who wouldn't like making people feel better every day), and I make quite a bit for the little work I do, I'm still stuck working set hours and tied down to the location I'm at.

I'm doing pretty good for 30 years old I think... I'm actually drinking a beer right now on my back deck looking over the water... but I'm looking for something more!

My goal... sell my practice in 2-3 years, work fulltime doing IM, and travel about whenever I can!

I'm certain everyone has the ability to get where they want to be... just have to get out there and do something about it!

Sorry for the long winded ramble... maybe had a beer or two too many

Cheers,
CcK

No day job, very struggling internet marketer. I have only one last hope I can turn things around.

I work every guys "dream job" as a brewer. Yep, that's right, I make the sweet alcoholic beverage that many enjoy. While this may seem like a dream job to many, it is very physically demanding and I am getting burned out on it.

However, I started IM'ing a few years ago and have made money to pay for our family vacations each year for the last 3 years so that is nice. It has allowed me to buy some fun toys and some nice things for the wifey for sure.

Right now I make about $1k / month, but need to increase this to $5k / month before I stop working my 9-5 and start working from home.;

Motivation? Baby boy who runs around all day and does most of the "first time" things at day care right now. Pisses me off like you don't believe. I want to make money online more now than ever and will succeed by end of 2010!

I manage the sourcing & the running of traffic to our mobile offers in various countries and day to day management of affiliates. I also do Adwords campaign setup/management and SEO for some of our properties.

I like it. Because we run our offers in different countries, today I could be talking with people in Russia, tomorrow in Germany, Canada, US who knows.
