so, so true.
sometimes when you're secluded at home you forget about all the opportunities you have. you just gotta get outside and look at all the other shitty walks of life, and then you'll be motivated.

You need to get yourself an office instead of a home, and hire some employees (or contractors). Having a formal office (place to work) and some employees to manage will put pressure on you to play at a higher level.
This.
Don't quit your job till you have money saved. You can still grind away when you work full time, I used to study full time and work 35 hours at a regular job and I still found a way to do 2-3 hours of IM every day.
You better hope you get a whole lot less lazy quickly.
I disagree,
If this guy wants to be serious and quit his job, then he needs to strap down and at the minimum, do 4 hours on his off days because I know he'll probably get stuck with info overload or whatever other excuses(youtube, youporn, facebook, wickedfire, etc etc etc)
Even on my days off(1-2 times a week), I still work on projects a few hours just to make sure money is building and building.
If he sticks with it, he'll have success but we all know good things don't last forever, so he needs to be constantly creating new sources unless he is cool with the unstable ~$100/day
I am 24 and own an insurance agency. I got into this whole IM marketing when I got sold by some local computer people who suggested I have a website built. They charged me $900 for some cheap ass website with garbage content and nothing optimized for seo. At that time i did not know better. My first goal once I realized the potential was to conquer my little google maps region. Lol after months and months trying to figure that bitch out, I got it. Then I spent more money experimenting and expanding my website with more junky content that was not optimized for seo trying to get long tails.
Then I came across affiliate marketing which sounded great. Spent another 3k on 3 more shity websites with no optimization to them. Paid another $1400 per site per month ($4500) for 3 months with an seo company claiming they could optimize my sites and get me where I needed to be. For $1400 first month all they did was change my H1 tags and other bullshit here and there. Second month for $1400 submit my site to 300 directories. BIG WUP! Needless to say for the amount of money I was paying attention and picked up as much knowledge as I could. Once I learned, I started experimenting and creating more and more and more sites. Had almost 15+ sites and none were really successful. Tried this, tried that, had success, got screwed by google, had some success then sandboxed again... Also not only would it fuck me over but would also screw my insurance agency and the people who worked for me since a lot of business was driven this way.
The point I want to make here is, I have a budget to back me up with to learn and experiment. Its lots and lots of trial and error. Even when you make it you must have another site to back you up when you get screwed by the search engines.
Good luck! Its hard work and takes MONEY!!!!! MOTHER FUCKER!!!!! Im just starting to get a good taste of the IM money now, and I still continue to spend my business budget on this and every penny I make myself because I know the goal I want to meet. NO FUCKING CLUB MONEY FOR ME!
P.s. this is just the money I spent on seo. I also tried to conquer adwords and blew a fucking hell of a lot of money with that......

+1 rep. Was planning on giving a similar speech to my kid brother someday soon. A freeloader. (freeloader: def: "Someone who sits around and dosen't work and mooches off their family and steals all their moms hard earned money to do nothing all day and contribute shit to society. Someone who is a waste of air and takes up valuable space on the planet earth.")
Thanks for all the posts, I've been away from the forums for a few days while I sorted out some stuff (like moving out of the "lenient friend's" place). I really appreciate all the advice you guys gave me - even the people that think I'm a freeloading dick.
What happened after my last post on here is quite amusing...
1. I went and begged for my job back, and they gave it me (I'd only been gone 2 days).
2. All was good, I was earning money and was glad to have "job security" with time to spare to work on my online stuff.
3. I moved out of my friend's place and into my own.
4. I got laid off by my employer.
5. Realised I got what was coming to me and now I have to live with it.

Tough break dude.
Well I guess it's balls to the wall now, you've got that motivation whether you want it or not.
Srsly... You'd better find a fucking profitable biz model like today and start working it overtime!
Where did you wind up, out of curiosity? And what's the rent there?

Start working 15 hours a day creating niche sites and building backlinks by your own. You'll have to work on weekends too.
All this considering that you already know quite a bit about the MMO biz.
I was fired from my job as well....today I make hundreds of times more than I used to when I worked for those bastards.
Good luck bro....again, If you want to create your own income, you can, but you need to bust your ass off for a really long time, maybe a couple of years, not kidding.
Hope you're prepared for long hours, 7 days a week, and limited social life for the next several months.
In a Housing Association 1 bedroom house, rent is £69/week ($110). I have a bit of money put aside for the next couple of weeks but yea I'm gonna need to bust my ass or it's McDonald's time.
Indeed I am.
