I was looking at the stats thread yesterday and saw all the big numbers *drools*. Made me wonder, do most of you have regular jobs and just do this on the side, or do you do it full-time? And if you used to have jobs when did you decide to quit and make money on the internet full-time?? Just curiooous. :)
 


job= to sell your soul to another for a pittance
work= what you pay others to do
 
DQE intern and recently a web Intern at an army contractor.

I basically copy and paste all day and redesign their incredibly shitty sites.
 
until i found this forum in January,.. i was an office slave working at a shit company for shit pay 40 hours a week, making shit pay 9-5 and now if things keep going the way they are, i will never get a real job again :)

i gave this mexican guy named jesus who lives in my garage a "yob" as he says. his "yob" is to check the stats on my affiliate accounts, and report to me a summary every 3 hours. i thought i had a hard job, but damn, this guy works more than i do. the hardest thing i did all day was not get pulled over by the 5-0 on the way back from dinner and drinks.
 
There's an old saying "If you love what you do, you will never work a job in your life." I love my business and have been self-employeed since the Dot Bust of 2000/2001. I used to work for a venture capital firm. Hated it.
Now, I don't even consider my daily work "work", I get paid for my passion--learning and helping webmasters. Can't get any better than that :)
 
I am a SEM (hence the name) for a private e-commerce consulting firm.

Love it, never want to do anything else! :D

I'm involved in it all. Made it a little farther to 2002 before the dot.com crash caught up with the company I was with. I went solo and my main focus is e-commerce. But more the operational side of it, from setting up the shopping cart to getting the label on the box. I work with larger companies though, think Fortune 500, Disney, Walmart, Target, etc... I get the orders from and to them. So everyday I work with servers, internet servers, database servers and EDI/XML.

If thats true Im incredibly jealous.

Internet marketing is just the means to my dream.. and that is to work with animals.
How did you get the job, do you have qualifications? I've looked around for similar volunteer roles but there is nothing here at all.
 
i majored in marine biology and animal sciences in the past at one time.. to get a job at a zoo like that, you have to volunteer your ass off for years before you can even think of getting paid. But its worth it
 
I upload keyword lists to PPC engines, then watch profits roll into my affiliate accounts. ha. If only it were that easy. I am full time affiliate marketer though.

I wouldn't do it for the money, in fact I'd work for free if my online income supported me.
I'm considering doing some sort of zoology degree (i want to work in the wild but looks like this degree is still what you need) but putting myself through years of uni is a pretty daunting feeling!
 
By day I am a Computer Developer... I feel like i am in Office Space...

At night I am a free lance web developer and getting into making some sites for me and do a little affliate stuff.. And I owe the getting into the affilate and doing the sites for myself to this forum, before joining I was just making websites. So I thank you all for the new knowledge you have taught me.. :bowdown:

My skills include: .Net Developer (C#, VB), VB6, .Net Web Development, SQL Server, HTML, Flash, Java.
