Great information and question on how I feel about Internet Marketing? I will send out email’s to my list just to say hi not selling anything. It is about helping people less fortunate and giving a hand up isn’t it? And your post about “Infusionsoft” priceless, blogging is here to stay and it work’s quite well in getting a message out.

Thanks again, Joseph D

Thankyou for such an inspiring post, I was a roofer in the construction industry until August 2009 when I had to quit my job due to chronic back pain.

When I lost my job I got into internet marketing to try and earn some money to basically survive and support my young family so I started building my optin list and so far my list has grown to over 18,000 subscribers.

The freedom that I now have because of building my list and growing my online business is incredible.

Like yourself I too can now take my family away on holidays at a drop of a hat.

Take care,

Ben Brooks

Heard a bit about you recently so I thought i’d pay a visit.

I completely agree with your sentiments regarding how lucky we all are to be in this position.

In fact I was thinking only the same last night.

You see, i’m a relative newcommer to the IM game and I completed my first on-line journal last night, which I posted to my blog.

Now, it’s true that I haven’t made a penny just yet, but I know that will change, I’m convinced of it…

and when I completed my journal I was amazed at how far i had actually come over the space of about 3 months.

Anyway, enjoy your time away John and thanks for the great content.

Cliff

Freedom. I don’t have to trade hours for dollars anymore. I remember so well the early ’90’s when I had a boss I didn’t like and a job that didn’t pay me enough for the amount of work I did. Sometimes I would go hide out in the back room and daydream of my time actually being my time and not owed to anyone else. When you have a normal JOB, they own you. Yeah, it’s the freedom that means the most to me.

I remember a few years ago when I didn’t have a clue about creating a website but plugged away at it until I learned, imagine if I’d given up back then, I would have missed out on the thousands of pounds that I’ve made over the years.
Thanks John, keep it up, regards Andy

Indeed, you are living a lifestyle that many people are dying to have. A lifestyle whereby u decide what time you wake up, what time you have your tea-breaks and how many hours you want to work everyday.

What I really love about Internet Marketing is that it creates automated streams of income, something which a regular 9-to-5 job would never give us. Enough said, it requires a certain amount of hard work. Once we find the method which works for us, we just need to keep repeating this method to generate multiple streams of income.

I’ve not reached that stage yet, but I know I will eventually, as long as I continue learning and don’t give up! As a full-time working mother to two young children, I am looking forward to the time when I could sack my boss and work from the comfort of my own home. I hope this Masterclass can be a turning point for me in 2010.

Enjoy the break, and good to hear your truthful views.
Too often we are sold this easy lifestyle and dream which paints over the fact that some hard work is required along the way, so its interesting to hear the trials and tribulations affect everyone regardless of experience.
Enjoy the break

Tom

It felt like you were in the room reading my mind…
and then I read everyone else’s comments as to what a common aspiration it is.

Prepared to work hard – because there is no other way – but working smart and on own our terms.

We are very lucky, not only because we have the life we dream of within our grasp – but because we have put ourselves in this position.

As Omar said – 97% either never get this far, or give up. That is just so sad.

Like you, one of my main aspirations is to be running my business from beside a pool for part of the year. Certainly I aspire to spending 4 – 6 weeks away from the UK winter – working in the sun during the day and wandering down to the local restaurant/bar in the evening.

I’m still very much on my journey – but at least I’ve boarded the plane.

All the best

Alan

I started this blog and journey to become an online marketer about this time last year. As most of you know, unforeseen things sometimes get in the way of staying on course to complete a goal. I started John Thornhill’s Masterclass last year and got so far behind beginning in the 10th week. As the weeks kept flying by, I felt frustrated and overwhelmed, so I quit moving forward. Then one day I blinked and 2009 was over! John published a great post to his blog that most people should be able to identify with. Read it here. […]

I feel very privileged to be building my business online, working the hours I choose to work and from my own home. My successes or indeed my failures are all my own, and so I feel the freedom to make choices about what to promote, or what to create myself. Without the technology we have today none of this would be possible, and I am glad to be away from the 40 hours per week I used to spend working in an accounts office on not particularly good money either. If I had to make the choice again about whether or not to look for another office job or to work for myself and build my own business I know I would choose the latter every time.
Kind regards,
Sue.
