How many of you make your SOLE living online and how many of you have a job working for somone else

I do not have a regular job. I do IM full time. I also have a network of sites that deliver constant monthly income. What is the point of this thread? Does it really matter if 1% of warriors have a job in the real world or if 90% do? Your success will always be determined by YOUR efforts.

I make a regular living online but it's primarily as a writer instead of a marketer. Of course I did have to market myself as a writer at one point, and still have to market my PLR.

In some ways that's maybe not quite what you're asking to hear about. BUT:

I've done a lot better as an online writer, for having been on this site. I learned enough to write about IM for marketers who were selling IM-niche products and it's brought me in a lot of work.

Studying this forum has been directly responsible for much of my success as a writer. And I don't just mean because so many members of my market/customer base are here. Anyone who wants to make a living online--as a marketer, service provider, or whatever--would do well to spend some time on Warrior Forum.

I am a full time internet marketer with a 2000 SQ FT office and a staff.

I quit my day job in 1998 and never looked back

Here are a couple of pics from my office.

i make a living online, literally. Its just not enough (yet) to get a mansion in hawaii or southern spain..working on it tho
I make more than what i ever made with a 7-3 job, and i work for myself and enjoy it

I started about 1 year ago with my first blog. Now I'm able to safely live abroad and just work online. I do small time SEO consulting and internet marketing for others and my own projects. It's possible, it just takes determination.

I am working a regular job and getting ready to retire from it soon. I am building an online business as another stream to that retirement and social insecurity. Hope this helps. BTW...what better place to ask this question. A fill in survey would have probably been better and get you less flak. Good luck in all of your endeavors,

I've been full time since 1998, though I did take a job for a short time a few years back, got pretty burnt out on the whole net thing. As others have said though, it's almost always made more than a regular job, many years it did much better then a job.

I think the big key is, for consistent earnings, is as Tommy said, multiple streams of income, least that's what I believe he was saying You shouldn't reply on just one source for your income, just like you shouldn't reply on one source for your traffic. I learned that one the hard way.

I am new in Internet Marketing, only been involved since October. I started off from scratch, under the wings of my partners. I am taking in all that I can, and you live and learn along the way.

I make enough at this time where I can stay at home with my girls, and that's what matters the most to me.

I am a full time Internet Marketer, I do have my own Wordpress Blog, but I am primarily a writer for my partners. I appreciate you wanting to know about what we do and where we are headed.

It is important in the state of our economy to survey what others are doing at this moment in time. I don't agree with others questioning why you want to know how we are doing in Internet Marketing. Everyone in Internet Marketing has been a buyer at one point in time.

I work full time from home. Part time is for a local company doing IM and graphic design and web work. The other time I maintain my own sites.

Since 1995! Works well -- Mostly financial products.

This might mark the first time I've taken issue with the "vets" around these parts. I don't think there is any reason to question the motives behind this OP. A guy asking WHO is really making money, living the dream he may be dying to achieve, this is a guy I want asking a lot of questions.

Questions like these come from someone wanting to validate their efforts in the face of uncertainty, or from someone in need to substantiate their beliefs to peers that are telling him it's all bull%$#. Sometimes these questions stem just from someone just looking to call out the people here - so they can decide who is walking the walk and not just talking the talk. Whatever the motivation behind the question, it is worth getting the answers.

There is just nothing wrong with this OP and I think it's kind of strange to question the point of the thread, it contains a very meaningful lesson.

As a case in point, just by seeing Brad Grosse's office and obvious success has inspired me a great deal today, and will continue to inspire me for weeks to come. I will likely sticky this thread to my desktop so that when I start to feel uncertain I can see that office and know there are REAL people in the world achieving the things I expect to achieve.

I would not have had that inspiration without this OP.

Totally agree, Peter -- I think it's totally fair to ask, and no one is being forced to answer. Real world results ARE inspiring -- you want to see the prosperity BEHIND the pitch, right?

I am working a job and doing IM and dreaming of quitting my job.
2009 is my year to say goodbye to the boss.

I sacked my boss to live the internet marketing lifestyle and have never looked back.

Been involved in IM for about 1 1/2 years. Have 2 sites that make about $500 each on autopilot. Have a bunch of domains and a blog or two. I haven't worked for someone for over 4 years. I'm a reasonably successful Online Poker player and that's been getting me by. There is a learning curve for new Internet Marketers. . . esp. if you don't have any prior html, seo, and/or coding experience.

It's all about perseverance though, things begin to make more sense w/ time. Just be willing to read and learn a lot. All the info you need is out there. Look hard enough and you'll find it there for free. If you want to save time though, I suggest checking out the War Room on this forum. Lots of good info there.

I have been full time since Oct, 29 2008

Great information here. I am just starting in Network Marketing, but am very determined to make it. I hear a lot of inspiration in this thread. Thanks guys!

Being a small time property developer, of late i have had to look at new ways of generating money (and soon), as my current business is like a sink with no plug in it! the money just floods out.

So i have been working full time hours (on top of my other business commitments) trying to understand and build an online business and income.

I will let you know in a month or two if my efforts have been worthwhile!!

Here's hoping, but i am fairly confident things will come together!

cheers

Paul

Full time online.

I agree, perseverance is the key.

I still work full-time and have yet to make a living online...........but I am still enjoying the journey.
