Changes Are Afoot

You may have noticed things have been a little quiet here on this blog recently. Unfortunately due to some pressing family commitments I’ve not been able to devote as much time to my marketing as I would have liked.

However that’s all about to change…

Last Friday I finally quit my 9-5 day job after six and a half years to start working full time as an internet marketer. I can’t tell you how unbelievably excited I am at this prospect. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for atleast 2 years but it’s only now I’m actually in a position to take the leap.

My office job was with a I.T. company specialising in video game console software and they were actually the best company I’ve worked for in terms of how they treat their staff. Unfortunately my heart just wasn’t in it any more and to say I’m relieved now I’ve quit is an understatement. And I don’t mean that in a disrespectful way…it’s just the way I feel.

So anyway, now it’s time to look forward and hopefully a much brighter future doing something I truly enjoy. It definitely feels liberating to be working from home, or the local coffee shop if I prefer. The other great benefit for me personally is I’ll be able to spend more time with my family including my lovely 10 month old son.

My goal is to create a true business, not just another job for myself. A business that makes money even when I’m not there and allows me to focus on those aspects of online marketing I enjoy the most. For me, that will be coming up with ideas and product creation.

I’ll be taking my inspiration from guys like Lee McIntyre and Terry Dean, in my opinion, not only two of the best marketers around but two of the best teachers of marketing aswell.

I also have certain financial goals ofcourse but I have no intention of letting them become all consuming. Life is far too precious for that.

Anyway, that brings me back to this blog. I’ve been giving serious consideration to how I make it stand out from the thousands of other marketing blogs out there.

I realise ofcourse that blogs live or die by the quality of their content and their ability to engage with their audience, and that’s central to my new plans for the site. I’m still formalising my ideas but rest assurred some exciting changes are afoot which I’ll be revealing very soon.

So onwards and upwards as the saying goes.

In the meantime, I’d love to hear the experiences of others who’ve made the move into full time internet marketing? Was it all you expected? Were there any aspects of working from home you didn’t like? Or was it the best decision you’ve ever made?
