Why Do I Make Money Online?

I was thinking about why I make money online as I was hiking yesterday. It’s because I love the freedom to be able to do things like hikes, meet my parents or sister for lunch, or take a few hours off in the afternoon to go to the gym or my tae kwon do class.

If I were not self employed, making money online, I wouldn’t be able to do all of these things.

And that is another big reason why I am so fixated on doing work that is also free of deadlines. Deadlines are another thing that can chain me to my desk. I know that today is a holiday in the United States, but I’ll use it as an example.

It’s a beautiful day - the sun is shining, not a lot of clouds in the sky. I plan on going outside in a few minutes to plant some flowers. Gardening and taking care of the lawn are two of my hobbies and I love doing it when the sun is shining like this.

So, my main goal is to make a full time income without being chained to the desk. And I know it’s possible. I’ve already proved it with my writing, now I need to add internet marketing and affiliate marketing to the mix.

Why do you guys like to/need to make money online? Feel free to share in the comments. :)

    Find some thing you love to do and you will never work another day in your life

  2. Well the suggestion is very nice mixing of internet marketing and affiliate marketing is very good,it will improve the business.The business strategy will also increase.

  3. @Trigeia2 that is a a very good way to put it! That’s why I actually don’t call them dreams. Dreams to me are nothing more than a goal I haven’t made specific yet.

    @Make money online - thanks for stopping in!

  4. Finding something you can do without having someone tell you what to do… Thats a big one.. Especially working on the internet you have access to the world to hear your voice. That is pretty awesome.

    And like the other Twin said. We do it because we love to create tools for people to beable to accomplish what they are passionate about.

  5. Twin 1, I absolutely love working for myself. That way I have complete control over what I do with my time and how I decide to earn my income. I love it!

  6. I love the freedom of being able to come and go as I please. Plus, I’m able to earn as much or as little money. If I need a mental break, I can take on less projects. On the other hand, if I need money for a home improvement project or vacation cash, I’ll pick up an extra job or two. Currently, my husband and I are in the process of renovating our kitchen and bathrooms. Thus, I’ve taken on two additional projects. A 9 to 5 doesn’t offer this type of flexibility.

  7. @Valencia I certainly agree with that! It’s nice to be able to do things like go out to lunch with my sister and adapt my schedule as needed. Plus, I appreciate being able to do my work from wherever I am - I’m at the library now. I’ve written e-books on airplanes (not ideal), articles in the car on the way to do a hike, etc. :)
