Is Internet Marketing Really Your Dream Job?

I always knew it was going to work out. I had to make it work.

I don't really mind being on my own and I do see my friends most nights so its not really a big deal being on my own for like 8-10 hours of the day.

But, yeah, IM is my dream job and I love it.

I'm not sure its IM that is my dream job particularly, but a job where I can be my own boss and work by my own schedule. I tried poker before, but found it too difficult to become a consistent winner. Now I swapped to IM and I'm already enjoying it a lot, I can resonate a lot with what Ryan said just above. I don't mind working on my own either.

Yes Internet Marketing Really Your Dream Job is my deeam jobe.Because always i like to do work on internet.

On my end, working with the internet was not anticipated. It just come along my way, well fortunately I found it awesome.

Any job where I can be my own boss is my dream job. If Internet marketing fits that description, then that would be a yes. But then there's this thought of having customers. Wouldn't you consider your customers as your bosses because you're the one giving them the services that they paid for? ... Boss-ception? lol

Yep, Dream Job.

Yes it is!! Absolutely.

Now, am I driving a Lambo and living in a mansion in Palm Beach. No. (and even if I could, I probably wouldn't)

But, IM is giving me a good income, great satisfaction, and a feeling of freedom I never had working in the corporate world.

I'm really enjoying it,

It is a dream job. Today, a lot of individual venturing to Internet Marketing but not all succeed.

It can't get much better than this... Set your own hours, get to choose what you want to work on, and best of all, the boss is like the coolest person ever.

I couldn't think of a better job out there- if you are looking for personal freedom and was not fortunate enough to be given 50 million quid on your first birthday, IM is the way!
I live and work in Asia, and in fact, I can live anywhere and still do my job...if there is another job out there like it that pays more, I'd like to hear about it.

My dream job would be doing the same work as Buddha and Jesus did. But I lack the skills and couldn't find a proper education, so I try to help people online instead. And it's working out pretty well, so Internet marketing is definetly a good 2nd choice

Yup. It's definitely a dream job...well at least, a job where I'm not hassled by a boss or get forced to sit in a cubicle for 10 hours a day.

IM has given me the ability to make my own schedule and decide how I get to spend my time. But at the end of the day, it is STILL a job. You have to be willing to put in the effort to get results. It's not easy. And you won't be an overnight success.

Yes. Internet marketing really is my dream job.

I love being my own boss, working and sleeping when I want to. I also love that there is no barriers as to how much you can earn with IM.

I'm in for the challenge, and I'll do everything I can to reach my goals :-)

Yes, Internet Marketing is my dream job. I can work from anywhere I want and anytime I want.

Internet marketing is not my dream job and not i am doing internet marketing professionally, rather i am web developer by my profession, but i frequently do IM to do marketing of my personal website.

You could say that internet marketing is my dream job.

The greatest benefit for me is the Freedom it gives.

No other job could give you such freedom, in terms of working hours, resting hours,
mobility, sleep, vacation etc. You can work when you want, how long you want, you
can work at night, you can work from home, from the cafe, from the foreign country.
You are not confined to the limits of local market, the whole world is your market.
The possibilities for earnings are endless, and only you set your limit.

The drawbacks are that you must have good self-discipline, strong sense of
individuality and self-motivation, and the risk is great. But the greater the risk the
greater the benefit. Also, one of the biggest drawback of it for me is not having to
socialize with your colleagues, but you can always get a regular job if you like

Internet marketing isn't a job or a career, it's just a way to market one's business (or money maker), charity, idea, etc. As an example: I have one business where I give dating advice to men, that's one of my businesses and I use the internet to market it.

But to answer your question, it's turned out far better than I ever expected. Though the first year was BRUTAL; I almost gave up more than once. I'm glad I didn't. Starting and running and growing a real business takes a lot of focus, hard work, and frankly, it's not for everyone. But to me the hard work has been worth it. I'd do it all over again.

There's no lack of social activity for me in any of my enterprises. Aside from my networking and mastermind groups (online and off), I make it a point to have a healthy social life. It's very important to take breaks, get out of the house, and experience some reality.

Whether it's catching a movie with an old friend, spending time with the girlfriend, going to an all night rave, or going for a nice, long scenic bike ride with my biking club or downing tequila shots with a fellow Warrior......there's tons to do and sitting in front of the computer is just a small part of my day.

If you don't make socializing an important thing in your life, it will atrophy and before you know it, you're spending 12, 14, even 16 hours in front of your computer. Been there, done that.....never again.

RoD

well my dream job would to be a professional golfer, but IM would def be up there...once its my job ill let you know.

You will ever know until you get there.
But,
Quitters will quit and say its not worth it, maybe will dream some more.
The ones who stick and will make it, - will say its satisfying, rewording (not always), and fighting through the hardest moments of making yourself sit on your butt and try , try again. Quoting your day time job... will make it even more awesome.
Yeah, the aspect of being your own boss is nice)

Internet marketing IS my dream job. Working at a job is dreadful. I'd rather get paid to stay home and watch TV all day with no delivery work on my behalf... only possible with info products and affiliate marketing.

We have many positives points, but they can also become bad points, like the absence of social relationship. The best way is to sufficiently develop the activity to form a team. Loneliness on a screen is sometimes heavy.

I thought I was retired and had already had two jobs I loved doing. Little did I know that I would develop a passion for IM. Have waded through tons of material to bring me to this point and the passion that drives me is doing my best to pass on pertinent information so others don't have to do the wading I did. The only problem I have is finding the balance that was expressed in other posts. I am so totally absorbed in what I am doing and need to learn when to call it a day. But I do Love It!

IM is my dream job, because it can empower an individual to do things that were never possible before. The best part about IM is that it is always evolving and new opportunities come every single day. It does not matter where you are on the planet, this is something anyone can do. When I read the book The World Is Flat it opened my eyes to the possibility of a global economy, where individuals, giant companies, and small businesses are all on a level playing field. The internet is flattening the world, and making it amazingly simple for individuals to harness their power and really make a big impact online. Also reading The 4 Hour Work Week was another amazing eye opener.

And it does not have to be a "lonely" road. For me it is allowing me to spend more time with my son and my family. And I attend a lot of meet-ups, workshops, and networking events. Also since I do offline marketing, I get to talk to local businesses, and help out in the community.

There are so many sides to IM that you can never get bored! It's my
"dream job" for sure! No boss, not being locked down to a certain place, and the freedom is priceless!!

I have to stay up later, I work longer hours, I have to pay for my own insurance(expensive), but at the end of the day, I would trade it for the world. I'm doing something I love and I'm successful at it.

Making money on the internet, sure is the dream job. Why? Because not many people can do it.

When I started Internet Marketing years ago, a lot of things had changed really. Some of the major changes I noticed is that I don't party a lot anymore unlike the early days. I am still 21 now though.. I started IM when I was 17.

I am an engineering student and as obvious at is seems, this isn't my dream job but IM is making me feel something I really really really like..LOL

BE MY OWN BOSS, MANAGE MY OWN TIME, & ENJOY LIFE Are just some

Unless you are really young, how could this really be your dream job? The internet didn't come into my home since 1999, and I know a lot of people didn't get it until after that. So no, I wasn't in elementary school saying this is what I wanted to be when I grow up.

With that being said, I play a ton of sports and like to be active. I love the fact that I can work first thing in the morning, or late at night. The chance to make more on the internet side of things than working like most journalism majors in the past at a small newspaper is icing on the cake.

Are you guys kidding me?

Even though I like IM, it's definitely not my dream job.

My dream job would be to get paid millions of dollars to play video games and ultimate frisbee all day. Maybe do a little bit of hiking for side income, you know. Fun money.

Yes for Sure....When I tell about IM, all are opening their mouth asking me one famous question...Is it the Network Marketing??
You know the people where I am living here, doesnt know nothing about IM....Only very low I need to say below 5% just have an idea, but I wonder how much if I take my whole District, are making money online...

And I am even not considering this as a job, coz this is one of my hobby, (personally, I hate jobs, my attitude is I only do what I am interested in...so that will be one of my hobby too...IM is my hobby, more over than a job)

My dream job would be to make silly videos and movies all day, but if I wasn't doing that, IM would definitely be first on my list.

Hopefully I'll make a living off both!

Internet Marketing certainly has the potential to be my dream job. I like the freedom and independence and being my own boss. I have no problem with working alone or keeping focused.

Now I just have to start making some decent money or my boss will yell at me!

Being on my own is part of the satisfaction, so that is not a problem. As well as never being told what to do, when I can go to the bathroom, or when I can have a break!

So far, in the short time I have been doing IMing, I have had great success, and I really didn't think I would be successful from the start - that is the only thing that has turned out differently to what I expected.

I do not know yet. I am not quite sure what I want to do with my life yet.

That said, I do enjoy certain parts about writing and marketing online. I guess it is tricky for me to say as all of my income at the moment comes from my content writing services, so perhaps I will have to wait until I have gotten some other projects running before I can give a better answer.

Anyway, all in all, I like it.

Internet marketing is just a means to an end for me. Because of internet marketing, I'm able to spend more time with my son. I try to spend as least time as possible on my business.

It's definitely not what I expected, I can tell you that. No it's not my dream job but it's hard for a 22 year old to make this kind of money anywhere else.

IM is not my dream job in the least. I worked in retail for almost 15 years of my life, and I owned my own store for the last 5+ years of it. I'm not going to lie and say that I loved every minute of it, because there was a lot of it that I absolutely hated.

Once I became a business owner though, it really changed my perspective. There were always the rude and harassing customers, but I can remember a lot of times where I could do something that was just a little unexpected for a customer and get the biggest smile from his or her face.

In my current day job, I work for Public Health in the State of Georgia doing disease surveillance. Most days suck because I'm talking to people about their poop, drug habits, and sex lives. (And these are not like you see on Cinemax or Showtime...you DO NOT want to talk about these!) There comes a time, every 3-5 weeks though, when I really make a difference in someone's life. I had to go out to a person's home yesterday because I could not get them to communicate with me.

After about an hour conversation with the person, I had told them that I wasn't trying to find find them or charge them or arrest them; I was, in fact, trying to give them information that could save their lives. They thanked me countless times and I left with the best feeling in the world.

IM doesn't give me that. People will never thank me for displaying an AdSense ad or a Click Bank graphic. Internet Marketing is not my goal. It is the means to my goal.

I plan to use the money I make in IM to give back to people who need help. Whether it's teaching a new high school grad to make a few bucks online, or helping a child inflicted with brain cancer to just have one good day, I want to do what I can to make people's lives better.

Internet Marketing, piles of cash, and gratuitous amounts of success are completely meaningless to me. It's what opportunities I can create using them that keep me going.

IM isnt my Dream job but Its a job that I like much more than almost all other jobs out there. Heck I can go to work in my underwear and not get yelled at

IM is going to be the catalyst that allows me to venture in different type of business and services in the future. My catapult to success!

I've worked in my dream job for about 20 years.
IM is much better than that

I don't even consider it a job - it's just something that gives me the (financial ) freedom to do whatever I want (maybe not exactly everything, yet )

One thing I can say is... (well two things)

a) Don't go into IM thinking you'll work an hour a day and make millions.

b) Don't let IM take over your life with you ending up working 15hrs a day.

I guess everyone has different perspective on this. I think IM isnt a dream job, but more of a requirement.

My job would be great if I can trade stocks with the money I earn and would be collecting $5,000 passively getting checks and deposit them.. oh wait theres a direct deposit..instead. So just enjoy building more empires.

I wouldn't say a dream job, as long as a job remains a job but if it fulfills your dreams than i think that job is defiantly what you should dedicate your energies on.

somehow it turned into a job..however iam not able to meet pretty girls..working in a big firm..tons of girls..hehe

Im not sure if this is my dream job yet and im not sure if it will ever be but i feel like IM can help me get to my dream job, i can invest my time in this and make good money doing so. then i canturn around and invest the money i made from IM to starting my dream job

If IM can help me not have a 9-5 job, than I think IM did it's "job" for me . Now that is THE dream

For most of us I don't think it was ever really supposed to be our "dream job." It was a way that we could make enough money and have enough freedom to live our "dream life." Basically what I mean is, no one to work for, no 9-5, no telling someone sorry I can't go do that because I don't have the money or I have to work.

As much as I love not doing work and getting paid, I really don't like the idea of helping a lot and not getting paid for it.

Additionally, I love the FREEDOM of IM. I can do it from where ever and whenever. On the pot, in the library, whatever

internet marketing is my job, and I have been in this line for two years. Internet marketing will be the main way to promote brand, products or even spread your activities. Some people think it is boring and we need to learn so much every day, but it really works very well.

Everyone is talking about IM as if it was defined by Webster's Dictionary... sheesh.

It's like Asking the question: "Is Telemarketing Really Your Dream Job?" Yeah, maybe for 5% of people out there...

internet marketing is just a frikken method... it's sure not a job.

I'm starting to think that the IM field may not be as glamorous as it seems it could potentially be. I am incredibly intrigued by the possibility of making large amounts of money just by doing work on my computer for a few hours a day.

The reality of it is that it is actually very hard work and very frustrating. It's tough to know if you are doing the right things at the start because you do not get instant feedback on your actions.

I'm starting to think it may not be the "dream job" I once thought it could be.

Well, I love 99% of this business: the freedom, the geographical flexibility, the income, the be-your-own-man mentality, etc.

There's just one sore point in my opinion as you pointed out: the lack of social activity. It's indeed a "lonely wolf" business and sometimes that take its toll.

I turnt out to be better.

My dream job is to play in the NBA...that's not happening.
Although I will challenge any Warrior to a game of H-O-R-S-E, lol.

Internet Marketing is just a small area of my business...the actual business
itself, and not just showing others how to do the same (IM)...that's the gravy.

There are rewards in helping others. I had a guy email me and tell me he was
making over $10,000/month, and it was because he took action on the information
he purchased from me. That does feel good :-)

A working cruise last December, another working cruise
in January, working from wherever you choose to.... just
came back from three weeks in the Philippines.

Yes, for me it is my dream job... but it took a long time to
get there. I did put in lots of 16-18 hour days at one time.

IM is hard work and requires discipline and determination. That's why so many don't make it.

If you are really passionate about it, work hard and smart, you dream can certainly come true....

I actually get quite a lot of social time as a result of being an internet marketer. I simply bring my laptop to cafes, and I frequently meet new people (hello, ladies.) or enjoy afternoons at the park (free wifi there ) drinking smoothies and eating sandwiches.

I also do quite a lot of product design, so that doesn't necessarily confine me to an office either. I can sketch on a sketchpad and bring that with me wherever I go.

IM is what you make it. It's really worth investing in something like a Macbook Air (or any ultrabook for that matter) and a wireless hotspot so that you can have maximum location independence and freedom.

It's not my dream job, though. The dream is to own large portions of profitable companies of thousands of workers, and to receive all of your income in the form of sizable dividends. At that point you have the freedom to pursue any passion in your life or to engage in any venture you can imagine.

currently, internet marketing has not been my dream job, because I have not reached my success here. I am still working on it.

Yes, heartbreaking at times...but an ABSOLUTE yes from me!

Llwyddiant!

Hello!

IM is an easy profit job. It takes a lot of hard work and patience but it's really worth the time and effort. It wouldn't be exactly a dream job but it's really a great filed and I love being able to make it work out. It works with enough effort and time exerted. I hope that helped you in a way or so.

Best of Luck!

Yes, it is.

I always want to provide value and make a difference to people's lives. My day job (yes I still have one) is being a teacher. I guess that fits exactly with my idea of dream job in terms of providing value. However, IM can provide more income, and can allow me to provide value to even more people, for a wider network and type of audience, globally. The fact that I will be able to do this from anywahere at all, on my own timescale, makes this particularly appealing - so yes, it is a dream Job - hence the fact that I am doing it now!

This can depend on the business model you choose. Some models involve the business pwner to be present and involved at all times for the business to keep running. I prefer info marketing as it is a model which allows you to take time away while still making sales.

beyond that, if all your traffic comes from making posts, then again you have to be more involved than if you are using banner ads, or something of that nature.

If you get this wrong, you can end up workiong 3X harder than doing a regular job.

Cheers

IM is definitely not my dream job-- I am a newbie, sometimes I really want to give up but I have invested money on how to do this and do that. You are all right you had to invest more of your time, focus on what you are doing and be intelligent even if you are not. This job is not an easy one. I need a lot of prayer to built one.

IM definitely is my dream job.

I work a few hours per day, I have just returned from a year long round the world trip and I have 3 houses and no debts.

But the best thing is that I am my own boss and I do what I want (unless the wife says I can't)!

YES YES YES I'm only starting out but over the past few months its been great to learn it all. Im not making much yet but i have BIG plans to turn my site in to more than just online.

Its only part time at the moment but i really do enjoy it can can't wait to go full time one day soon

well i love the idea of being able to work from where ever you want!
you could go to the beach and still be working what a nice lifestyle is this?!

also IM is just a tool i enjoy for me... my goal is to retire young and at the moment i am using IM for this goal but i don't want to have to make IM for the next 45 years

yes it is my dream job. I admire the lifestyle of those internet marketers. I am still young. I want to have time to raise my baby. Spend time with my family and have flexible time in making money
