Have you been able to quit your day job?

Clyde Dennis · 06-14-2009, 05:20 PM

I was fortunate enough to be able to dump my day job back in April 2001, tax day in fact if I recall correctly.

Actually they dumped me. The company I worked for at the time was sold. Some workers were kept, others were paid to go away, blah, blah, blah...

I walked away with somewhere around three months income and never even looked for another job. They had given me exactly what I'd been telling myself I needed. The time to concentrate on my online business 24/7, so that's what I did.

Now, a J.O.B. is simply out of the question.

As for one single tip: Take some time to choose one thing you want to concentrate on and then master it. DO NOT keep switching your focus from week to week, month to month. Pick ONE direction and go in it. Period.

Great tip by the way:

I've been told unless your site is doing between 6000 to 8000 uniques per day don't even think about it lol. I do 500/month from one site but I believe that full time internet marketing is "completely" doable.. keep reading, keep testing and you'll find your road to success.

Have any of you been able to "quit your day job?" How long did it take?

I'm asking because I see all the hoopla out there (earn thousand dollars a day working from your home part time! , et al) and I have been a sucker for a few things here and there.

Can any of the full timers or "rich" IM'ers (however you define it) lend any words of wisdom to me and any fellow strugglers here?

If you could give the best tip to help me succeed online, what would it be?

Thanks!
