Living off it?

illusion · 12-20-2005, 01:26 AM

Hi,

Is anybody at this forum living off what they earn on the internet? I know of a few guys who are earning enough to live off it, people such as Jon Wheatly and Tyler Cruz. Do you know anybody or are you one of them?

Hi there, my name is Lachlan Macgregor, i just came across this forum and had a few hours free so i thought i'd signup and check out this forum as it looks pretty useful.

Anyway in response to your question, i work online as a full time job. I have an office in the city of where I live Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. I have 1 full time employee, and 4 or 5 part time employees, mainly for my hosting company hosting2nv, and a few other things we also do.

I've been working/earning money offline for approximately 6 years, approximately 3 hours ago it became my full time job and at that i registered my first company, since then i have registered a second online company for some local internet reward card sites we have started.

Hope that answers your question

I am trying to earn enough online, but it's a quite hard thing to do! To hard to be honest!

I think a lot of people make a living off of online businesses. Included in those business are information publishing, retail e-commerce sites, sales of goods and services they create (e-books, seminars etc). Some people even make money just selling links to other sites.

Regardless there are a lot of ways to make money. The reality is most people in the space are mostly amateur. They have other jobs/sources of incomes, they do not invest an extraordinary amount of time or resources, and they end up with equivelent results.

I think it is possible and viable to make money if you work extremely hard, work extremely smart and really dedicate yourself to doing it. I jumped in with both feet myself. I know a lot of people do it on the side until they build up their business, but I am not sure that day will ever come for a lot of those people.

Sometimes you have to take a risk. Everyone's situation, however, does not always warrant taking those risks.

That is why they are named internet entrepreneurs. I would love to earn a decent amount of the internet, I think that would be my goal.

Right now I am just doing it as part time because of studies etc. I'm 100% positive to adopt this internet business as my full time job in future.

a cent a day..sounds cool

...... i think u just need to make a start on the net....then whatever comes...maybe $10..maybe $100 or > $1K...it all depends upon how much u invest i guess?!

Klaas Koopman · 12-21-2005, 02:26 PM

Well people you know what I'm taking the risk!

Going to start Koopman Media, from january! I got all the papers right here

Okay so here's a question for you all. Should I , or should I not make a blog about this and tell everyone how it's going?

pairbrother · 12-21-2005, 03:44 PM

Hey congrats, and all the good luck for Koopman Media, though what its gonna be about?

I think you should start a blog asap, since u have gone ahead and taken the risk and who knows maybe ull succeed like anything, atleast ppl who just talk and do nothin will get a lesson and maybe inspired to take that one step tht is needed...and also u may at certain times require some assistance in making a few small decisions, ull get a lots of inputs and help im sure...

and if u popularize ur blog, tell in all the forums tht u post in about ur venture, im sure ppl will visit it!

All the Best once again..!

Living off online? HAHA!

I wish.

Seriously though, that's my goal. To establish an income from some of my websites, but I'm barely started. I've got a long way to go from here, now the question is, can I stick with it.

DomainCrystal · 12-22-2005, 11:40 PM

Have been trying to live off the internet for three years or so now. Before that I was living off the internet, until I got on the internet and now no longer work off the internet but instead the internet works off of me. Does that make sense?
