I am now OFFICIALLY a full time Internet Marketer!
Although I have been an internet marketer for about 4 years now, I have finally taken the plunge and am now a FULL TIME Internet Marketer.
It is like a HUGE weight from my shoulders...
I have already quit my Teaching career at the end of 2011, but yesterday was my FIRST official day back from holiday and at work at my home office, doing business full time and I have to say it feels GOOD.
It feels great to be my own boss and to do what I love, and I just wanted to share it with all the warriors here on the forum. This forum has been good to me and is one of the reasons for my success in internet marketing.
So for all the warriors who still want to transition from part time to full time and if you are thinking about maybe quiting your job, I hope that you would read about my journey so that hopefully you can also get inspired to take the BIG step.
After getting my B.Ed degree in Education (primary and secondary school), I have decided to travel the world a bit and teach to support my travels. It was during this time that I have started dabbling into internet marketing and researching ways to make money online.
I have always said that one day, when I make enough money, I would quit my teaching job and then go full time with internet marketing. But in the beginning I was quite scared and decided to keep on teaching until I consitantly make more money with internet marketing then with my teaching job.
I started making some real money with IM, but I didn't have as much time as I would wanted to and my income didn't reach that magic levels that I first dreamed off. I was very lucky though, as it started being a great second income that enabled me to travel a lot more and live a much better life.
At the end of 2010, I was finished traveling, teaching in Taiwan and England, and decided to get married and return to my mother land, South Africa where I could hopefully become a full time internet marketer.
At this stage, I was making quite a good income, probably the same as with my Teaching in England, but decided that I needed to look for a teaching job in South Africa first and see if my business plan can still bring consistant income when in South Africa. I was also getting married, and because I was oversees most my life, I had no furniture, house, car etc, so needed a guaranteed income to sustain me and my wife.
Throughout 2011, I quickly realized that my income from my part time internet activities is way more than my teaching salary, but with both incomes, it was a hard decision to finally give my boss the boot and to loose my Teaching salary and benefits that came with it.
Because I was only working parts of weekends and some week nights, I became confident that with more time on my hands, I would be able to make way more money online than both of my jobs combined and with the reassurance of my wife and friends, I finally decided to quit my job (which was at a very prestigious school) and go full time with my online business.
And that is my journey to a full time IM'er in a nutshell.
I know I have been rambling a bit, but I am just so excited to be here in my life where I can afford to do what I love full time. It is a great and freeing feeling.
To all beginner internet marketers and people who are still waiting to take that big step - You have to believe in yourself. Set yourself goals and achieve it, because YOU can do it.
When I started with IM, all my friends and wife said that I am wasting my time on the computer and that its just all scams, and that I would never be able to make some real money. I proved them wrong and today they believe in me and I believe in me, because I have already showed that I can do it.
I have a lot to owe to IM. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be married today, with a house, car and wouldn't have been able to have traveled the world.
In closing, here is a message that I got from a fortune cookie, that actually gave me that final push to start taking the plunge and quit my job.
(I still have it stuck up on the wall above my computer.)
"Don't be afraid to take that big step, Success comes from taking calculated risks."
Thanks for reading this, I wish everyone all the success in their online businesses and hope that you will make your dreams come true.
Do feel free to comment and I'll be thankfully delighted to chat with you on the forum threads. Cheers!
