Work Home Money

Many people want to live a free life full of freedom and money. Most of them go for online business dreaming about big money. People are desperate to make an additional income from home.

It is really difficult, when you are in a position where you hate your job but cannot leave it. You cannot afford to quit because you would then have problem of having the bread and butter for you and your family. I quit my day job when my blogs started doing well (even though they did not earn me anything) and had enough money to sustain me for almost a year. (I also had support from my partner Neeta).

You have a good amount of money invested somewhere or have a good home equity, then you don’t have to worry much about earning the necessary amount initially.

Don’t Quit Your Job

Don’t quit your job till you are able to create a different income stream (even though it’ half the money you earn in your job). My case was different. I was reckless and changed three other jobs in three different organizations doing different things. I actually never liked a job.

Neeta and I decided to do quite the job after we had a revenue stream. Sometimes it earned us almost the same money I earned from my last job and sometimes it earned me half of it. But still that was ok. Neeta had her family and did not have to depend on me.

From our experience, we think you should have an income stream before you take the plunge. We failed the first time because we did not have a second revenue stream to keep us floating. But this time we already had it. Without even knowing or thinking, we developed a second revenue stream in the form of freelancing and then the day came when I left my job.

You cannot have two jobs together. You can work on a full time job along with a part time business which will create the additional revenue stream. You need to find time to do it. It is always better to start a part time business while you are still employed. Then create an additional income stream and then take the leap.

Trade Time in One Job For Another

People remain trapped in their jobs because even though they hate it, they cannot afford to quit. It will be easier for you if you can switch to an alternative income source that pays the same amount of money with the same efforts. Start trying to find some guaranteed work outside your job. Also try to find out extra time from your job. Take the needed unpaid leaves and try to reduce your working hours.

But here we would like to suggest that before you decide to start an online business with the spare time to get from the extra time you extract. We understand, this sounds completely opposite to our idea of starting your own business, but we are saying it because starting an online business needs lots of time initially and so you may not be able to do it with little spare time. You need to replace your income from the job with another income fast. If you cannot immediately replace it, then it can be disastrous for you. As online business take time, so do not go for it with very little time in hand.

As you are reading this blog, so we think that you are already well versed with computers and online things. With the computer skills, you can surely get work from sites like Elance. Find out if you could get some jobs from the sites like Elance. People post their projects in these sites and you can pick up one of them that suit your skills. This is guaranteed money.

From Elance to Freelance

Start a business while you are still employed. Once you start getting work in Elance or such other sites, you become a freelancer who works on other’s projects. After working sometime on Elance in our particular niche area where you have expertise in, you can simple start working as a freelancer businessman. You can start your own business after sometime. In Elance, along with developing your skills, you can also develop your portfolio and client base.

Starting an Online Business

There is a fact about online businesses- it is said that about 99 percent of the people who start an online business give up before they make any money. So, I would not recommend you to start an online business instantly. It needs time, effort and persistence and getting all these into you is not an easy job. This is especially tough when you are working on a job you do not like and still finding it difficult to earn enough.

So it is better to start with little freelance work from sites like Elance and then slowly move to an online business. You are reducing the number of hours you work on the day job that you do not like and putting those hours for freelance work. It is like seeing a small light at the end of the tunnel and you know that at the end there will be a whole big source of light.

Now comes the question, what to start with. This is a big question and you have to answer that. Go through the various opportunities listed in this blog to find out the answer to your question. It takes time for anything as you are new. For reaching where we are today, it took us about a year.

There is nothing like a readymade making money online plan because everybody does it differently and a plan for someone cannot work with another guy. Everybody is different and so the plans should be different.

Focus on One Idea

It is always better to focus on one idea instead of trying everything. As you start with online business, you may have several ideas, but you cannot run around after them. You need to pick one idea and then focus on it to make it a success. Find out your list of ideas and then research well for few days and then only decide what you want to do.

I wasted lots of time looking for different ideas and then running after them. I could have done far better if I had concentrated on only one idea. So do not waste your time after too many ideas. After thorough research find out one particular niche and online business and then focus your efforts on it.

Beware of the Hype

There are so many scams and so much of hype going on in the online marketplace. There are outrageous claims, there are impossible proofs available anywhere on the net. Most of the scams guarantee huge amount of cash within a very short span of time. Don’t believe them. Scam artists trick people by claiming huge amount of money with their products, courses and programs.

Please remember that there is no business model that can help a newbie earn huge amount of money within a short time. People who show cheques and other proofs of earnings may be earning that much but as a newbie, you can no way that amount of money when you are starting from zero.

You do not need such huge money claiming programs and courses.

Follow Somebody Successful With a History

Now as you are new you can follow this strategy. This is a tasted strategy which always succeeds. Follow someone who is already successful. This will help you to become successful because he has tested it and the methods are sure to work. You do not have to reinvent the wheel and instead you can work on a system which has already shown positive results.

It saves your time, efforts and money. You can create a real money making system by following successful people in your niche. There is no problem with following someone who is successful.

While looking for successful people make sure you check for few things. First they should be successful at what they are doing and earn the amount of money they claim. Second, they should have a history behind which will tell you how they made it. Third, he should have something which can be called as condensed form of his knowledge available which you can follow. Such knowledge source (plans, reports, ebooks etc) should be follow able by a newbie.

Check out the prices for knowing their systems and businesses. It should not be very high for a beginner.
