Why Start an Online Business?

I understand that the security of a "real job" is attractive and that's why you're probably looking for one, even if you are trying to work from home. But the problem with that type of work is that you're tied down to an hourly wage. If you stop working, you stop earning money. And with a lot of the types of jobs that you can get from home, there isn't much room for advancement. You'll be stuck at the same salary for a long time.

With an online business, however, you're earning residual income. You do the work just one time, then keep getting paid for it. Yes, you are taking a bit of a chance. There's always the chance that you'll do the work and it won't pay off. But there's a potential for making money that's just not available with traditional employment.

Now, that doesn't mean that it's all easy. You will have to do some work to get your website set up. And you'll have to do some work to bring traffic to your site. But once things are up and running, you'll be able to have more time to do the things that you really want to do.
