Not everybody does Internet marketing full time like me. Heck, I had no choice in the matter. I was tossed out of my old job. But some people still do have comfortable jobs and Internet marketing is something that they’re working into slowly. For those folks, it’s generally said to keep their day job and then quit once they’re able to fully supplement their job income. Seems like sound advice on the surface. But is it? Believe it or not, there are pros and cons to this. We’re going to explore them in this article.

Let’s look at the pros first because they are so obvious. With a steady job behind you and income coming in regularly, the new Internet marketer doesn’t have to worry about paying the bills. Let me tell you something, not having to worry about where your next meal is coming from or if the rent is going to be paid is a HUGE load off of one’s mind. That is the big plus about keeping your day job while you’re building your Internet business. But like with anything, there are two sides to this coin.

On the downside, there are only so many hours in the day. Last I checked, there were 24 of them. If you’re the typical person, you sleep 8 of them. That leaves 16 left. If you’re working a full time job, say 9 to 5, that leaves 8 hours left. But wait…what about travel to and from work? Most people travel at least an hour to work each way. So now you are down to 6 hours in your day. Knock off an hour for dinner when you get home and you’re down to 5 hours. Do you see where I am going with this?

Working a full time job does NOT give you a lot of time to build your business. Therefore, what happens is that instead of working up to a full time Internet income in say, 3 months, it might take you a whole year or even longer. Now for some people, that’s okay. But what about for those who are working a job that is barely paying the bills? Maybe not so okay.

So you see, not quitting your day job is not such a cut and dried thing. In some cases, you might be better off leaving. But that is something only YOU can decide.

To YOUR Success,
