I have a thought in my mind. Can you help me? Can i leave my job with the intention of doing full time online jobs only. Will i still be able to make my living? If i had been i US i would have said yes and did it. But I am from India. So now what would you suggest me?

Don't leave the rabbit in hand before you catch another one. You can depend on online income if you are really hardworking and dedicated even in India. It takes time and your skill. But you can. for the time being don't quit your job, do it parallel, when you are confident that you can live with online money, you can consider quitting the job. Creating your own website and blogs and making them popular will take lot of time. Be patient and keep on trying. One day you can succeed. Best of luck!

keep your job don't depend on your online job because lately there are rampant scam sites that you came across while surfing the net. online jobs is only an extra income not your main source of financial needs. i have my offline business what ever happens to my online business atleast i have another source.

Do you think you can earn more money through online activities? Never..I can suggest internet for those people who do not prefer to go to job or those who cannot find a job or stay at home moms . But when you get a job, the good idea would be to join the job. You can try out the online works for some extra bucks during your free time. Because money earned through internet can just add few bucks to your pocket money. But they can never help you to make a living.

I completely disagree, with previous responeses to your discussion. There are thousands of people making a full-time income online and there are hundreds of websites that are legitimate. It's just that they require actual work and time. What i suggest you do is to keep your job, while trying to create a part-time income online, and when you have accomplished that you'll have a better idea of what you want to do. If you want to go for a full-time income by then you'll have the experience to do so. For more help or information visit www.phozzic.com.

Its always better to have a permenant job for you know your income is fixed and live within the means. There are many sites on the net which will ask for money first, then you dont know whether it is a scam site, and then again being from India, the options may be limited. Never kick a full time job first, without trying out the other options. Once you have settled in the online jobs and started earing full time income, then you may consider leaving your job. Till then NO

Don't ever leave a job unless you have another job. That is just common sense. If you have a specific skill (transcribing is a big one that you can do online from home and call center jobs) it will be easier to find a real job to work online. But beware of all the promises and scams.

Its no wonder why so many people are scared away from online opportunities. Between the scams and the fear people inject into one another. Whats wrong with telling someone to keep there online job, while working part-time online, until they feel secure enough to make the switch. Even if that day never comes they still have a part-time job they can work pretty much at anytime and have extra money in your pocket. Don't let anyone discourage you because they are too scared. You really have nothing to lose, and so much to gain. But like i said be sure not to quite your regular job, until you have already made sure you can and want to make your living online.

I suggest that if you are going to earn anything on the internet then you will need referrals that will earn a % for you. That is how anybody that earns anything on the internet earns money. I have in my profile 3 great sites that will help you get those referrals! I know that through those 3 sites I have started getting quite a bit of referrals that are active on the sites and are beginning to get me a small income that is just the start of what I will be able to do.

You should not give advice if you don't know what your talking about. It is very possible to earn a living working online.

I don't think online jobs pay as much as your permanent job. Also most of these online jobs keep changing in payment terms and conditions. So it is not something on which you can solely depend to earn your bread and butter. Cheers! Ram

I wouldn't, unless you have a secure monthly income from a retirement, secure investments, or inheritance. None of them are secure and could be gone tomorrow. I use the money only for extra income and would never rely on it as my regular income.

Keep your job, look for an employer who will hire you to work at home. But don't leave your job until you find one. Jobs are to hard to come by. You can start working on line in your spare time, maybe you will be one of the luck ones that finds a true job not just spam. LOL

There's an old saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." As I'm sure you'll understand, you don't want to lose what you already have on the off chance you'll get more of the same, particularly when those chances are not that good. I have no doubt there are people who are making good money on the internet. However, I would suggest you keep your current job until you find out whether or not internet work is going to work for you.

I don't think it matters so much where you come from as how you go about making money on line. There is so much hype on line that it is difficult to find something that you enjoy doing and still make a decent wage. There are scams out there and sifting through all the programs takes time. You have to have a living wage while you do that. I think you should feel your way while working at your day job.

For one I wouldn't advise leaving your present job just yet. Even if you were in the USA for that matter. Having a job is presently what makes you get the ends to meet. You location surely isn't an advantage though. You may of course try to squeeze some time to get something rolling with a paying thing online. Build as you go. It's not that easy though. Too many things to do. But that's how it's gotta be done. Otherwise you may just end up losing at the end. Build your online thing first before you severe your job. If and ever your online earning can meet your demands, then it is time to take it to the next level. Take me for instance, I have a row of jobs just to keep me sane. Out here it doesn't pay much. But I have gotta do it or I'll starve. I'm a web designer, big deal. I haven't even started my own website to get me to earn money. It sure is tough, I have to prioritize my job before this online thing. But I'm slowing getting to it. Remember build it up first, then size it up. Then you decide if you can leave your job. Cheers!
