This is a thought that comes quite often to my mind not because I’m working on it but when you read many blogs everyday there is a high percentage of MMO (Make Money Online) among them, some achieve it and some not. When I find a blogger who makes a living from his blog income I always think of how great would be achieve this goal. On A recent post (Taking Advantage Of The Time Zone) I wrote that I leave home in the morning at 8am and I come back at 7pm everyday (11hours) so Paul B, a blogger who earns money and make a living from his blog, exclaimed it was a lot of time. Yes, it is.

So sometimes I think of it and the advantages I’d have if I achieved it. Here are some positive points on this matter:

• You could wake up at any time, and not at 7am. This is one of the things it is more difficult for me to stand. I hate waking up early in the morning and I have to admit that sometimes I arrive late at work.
• You could work the amount of hours you consider enough while in an office job you have to stay there 8 hours day after day, no matter if it is raining, it is sunny, you want to do it or not… 8 hours every day.
• You could work at any place where there is an Internet connection available, and more than that, you don’t need that connection on any place because with a mobile phone you can carry Internet with you. Imagine how relaxing would be to work in the beach or in a camping site. If you like the summer you could travel around the world living an endless summer, or on the contrary if you prefer winter you could blog from a ski resort.
• You could earn money even when you weren’t blogging. This is something people often don’t notice. When you have a 9-5 job you are paid for the time you spend in the office but not for the rest of the day you are out of work, but with a highly visited and established blog you earn money while you sleep of while you are in a party with your friends because you can place ads that make money 24 hours a day.
• You wouldn’t have a boss. This is one of the best points too. All of us have to admit we don’t like any boss. He/she could be a good person but is still a boss so we don’t like him/her. Without a boss you don’t have to give reports of your work and you don’t have the sensation of being observed.
• You could spend more time with your family and friends, boyfriend, girlfriend… or doing your favourite hobbies.

It seems to be good, isn’t it? But there are points you have to take in count when you make a living online on your way:

• You are the only responsible person of your results. If things goes wrong you can’t put the blame on someone but you.
• Nobody ensures you a solid income until you are totally established and well related as an Internet professional, so you can have some stress when things don’t go right at all.
• You must be a very organized person because when you are your boss and you don’t have a strict timetable there is a risk of becoming a untidy person, one who goes to bed when the dawn comes and spends most part of the day sleeping.
• You have to pay for your insurances and plans.

What do you prefer? Make a living online seems soooo great! But for the moment I’ll continue in the traditional way.
