Here’s what the internet marketing lifestyle can be, if you know how to do it the right way… For starters, internet marketing can mean having your own business that you take great pride in.
Imagine being able to hand out cards with your own branding on them, imagine having your own headed letter paper.
Imagine employing staff or freelancers and being successful enough to making life better for your family. It’s a great feeling to be financially successful, of course.
But being financially successful through your own grit and inventiveness – that’s a whole other level. It's just a fantastic feeling when you’re at a party and someone asks you: what do you do for a living? And you get to tell them: ‘I run my own online business’. You’ll have your own digital empire and you’ll feel like an absolute boss.
Working online can also give you the amazing freedom that comes from being self-employed. I recently decided that I was going to take Wednesdays off. Why? Because I can! This way, I only ever have to work two days in a row and I have a day of complete freedom when everyone else is at work. This allows me to run personal errands (banks and hair dressers are empty) and to enjoy being able to play computer games or go on nice walks without any social commitments either!
More importantly, it allows me to work on my own projects. To work ‘on’ my business rather than ‘in’ it, so that I always feel a sense of forward momentum and so that I’m always progressing the business. This freedom also affords you a range of other options. If you are worried about the health implications of a job that involves just sitting down all day for instance, then you can get around this issue by making sure you go to the gym every morning before you start work.
Better yet, you now also have the freedom to work wherever you want. How about becoming a digital nomad and working on the move? You can see the world while working out of small cafes and bars along the beaches. Alternatively, you might decide you like your creature comforts too much and decide to create an awesome home office that you can be highly productive in.
If you take this to the absolute extreme, then you can find ways to streamline your business or to get it to run itself. That way, you can earn a purely passive income, meaning that you’ll earn money even when you’re sleeping or up in the air flying to your destination. Imagine waking up richer?
