• How to make the switch to working online is going
  to be a short series on how to move from your 9-5
  job to a life of freedom and flexibility of
  working online. This is how I made my move and
  how you can too, no BS involved.

• First, it isnt working online but rather playing
  online and earning money. If I did not love
  getting up in the morning doing what I am doing,
  I wouldnt last a month. The biggest hurdle you
  have to overcome while pondering the thought of
  working online is to ignore what others have done
  to make money online and to do what you love
  instead.

• When people first start out online, they look at
  the likes of John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker and
  think, I can do this. What most people realize
  after about a month of trying is it doesnt work
  out that way. Earning money online can be a lot
  harder than it appears.

• First Step
• Start! I know that seems basic, but it is amazing
  that most people only think and talk about making
  a life change for the better. So get going and do
  it! Learn about the different ways you can make
  money online and what you are capable of doing.

• Second Step
• Find what you love to do. Motivation is a huge
  factor in success. When you love your work, you
  arent working. Having fun is probably the most
  important aspect of doing what you love. Besides
  loving what you do, you will often know a lot
  about that particular niche, adding even more to
  your credibility and knowledge to the trends in
  that market. Knowing as much as you can about
  your niche market gives you the edge on top of
  the passion to pursuit it. It amazes me that even
  after blogging for a short period of time you
  will see so many other bloggers come and go as
  they slowly give up on their pursuit of money.
  Its a pursuit of a dream that will carry you
  through.

• Third Step
• Phase into your online work. I didnt just wake
  up one day and start working online. I started by
  reading blogs. Then I started subscribing to
  blogs that I liked. I opened up a free blogging
  account on Blogger.com and other sites, learning
  the skills of creating a fluid site online. I
  learned how to and how not to make money online
  (selling ebooks is not going to get you anywhere
  unless you know how to market online well).

• Make the shift from part-time Internet
  entrepreneur to full-time self employed Internet
  marketer. Start small and allow yourself to have
  a life outside of the Internet and your work. As
  you grow and expand online, you will have to be
  the judge of when to quit your day job and
  pursuit your online business. I did this after
  roughly 4-5 months. I timed vacation and
  paychecks to give me the most coverage and
  financial buffer I could. This process wasnt
  easy and I had to live on next to nothing for a
  few months in order to accomplish the
  transaction. I recommend saving as much money as
  you can before this part or already be generating
  a steady income stream from your part-time online
  ventures. Both are good ideas.

• Fourth Step
• Find a balance in your life and establish a
  routine. It is a whole new world to work for
  yourself. There is no longer someone making sure
  you are accomplishing your work. You have to be
  your own boss. Treat your time as a commodity
  that you can no longer take back. Time is no
  longer worth a fixed dollar amount. It is equated
  in the terms of value added. You now get paid on
  performance and the value that you provide. It no
  longer matters how long it takes you to
  accomplish tasks in order to get paid but rather
  how much value you provide your customers. Never
  cheat your customers on value. You may find that
  in order to generate the income you want, you
  only spend 4 hours a day working for it. It is
  important to find that balance and treat that
  time like it is pure gold, because it is.

• Fifth Step
• Diversify. The days where you set up a store
  front and sold hardware supplies to local people
  are fading fast. In a world that changes in a
  matter of minutes online, you cannot afford to be
  stagnate. As soon as you start generating a
  decent income from your flagship blog or virtual
  business, you should be creating the next. When
  you have 4-5 different but related businesses
  online, you protect yourself from failure due to
  lose of income. If one of those businesses or
  income streams disappears, you still have others
  to carry your through until your next idea is put
  into place. The winds of business change so
  quickly online that no one knows for sure what
  the next year will bring. If people claim to
  know, they are lying.

• Give back. Giving back is a crucial part of
  business and branding. Giving back doesnt always
  have to involve money, it can be in time to help
  charitable causes, giving advice to others,
  talking with and answering questions from
  customers, sending thank you cards and notes and
  just about anything else. Never forget where you
  were at one point, and remember to give credit to
  those who helped get you there.
