it would be nice to say to your boss: 'hey, i make more money online than you pay me' he'd respect you a lot more..

Yup. I tried that once with my then boss a few years ago in an attempt to see how valuable he thought I was, and it backfired on me. He told me that if I can make more online then thats what I should be doing.....

I'm probably not yet making as much as I was in the workplace (In my former life I was a Certified Auto Mechanic (Thats Auto Technician to you young squirts)) But I am paying the bills Smile

I would be curious to know, what is the approximate timeline for most people (that are now living solely off of affiliate income) for working at a full-time job and working part-time making money online and then progressing to working full time making money online...

Unfortunately, it's a bit like asking, "How long is a piece of string?"

The answer depends on a large number of factors. It took me nearly two years of fumbling and fiddling about and learning before I went full-time. But that was back in the days when there were hardly any Internet marketing books or courses and I had to learn mainly by trial and error.

Some people do it in six months, some people never manage it. Some affiliates aren't aiming for a full-time income - they just want to earn a bit of extra pocket money.

The most important factor is your determination to succeed. You have to learn to focus on the important things. With every activity you do, ask yourself, "Is this getting me nearer to achieving my main goal?" If if isn't, do something more productive.

I could say something like, "You should be able to go full-time in 12 months," but I can't say that because I don't know you, I don't know your skills and interests, I don't know how much time you're prepared to devote to this instead of watching TV, I don't know how determined you are. I don't know how much faith you have in yourself.

What I do know is that if you're determined to succeed you'll increase your chances hugely if you learn something new every day and do something every day - no matter how small - to improve your business.

My advice is don?t quit your job until you learn enough about the nature of the Internet marketing. You may get disappointed if you don?t know what you are doing and when money is tight you?ll be in real trouble..
