I noticed your comment in which you talked a bit about your previous work experience and preferred working conditions. Interestingly enough, I feel we have a bit in common … starting out that is, haha! I am still very much new to the game. 21 years old, 2 years university, currently employed with a leading SEO Firm (www.seo-guy.com) but have been branching quite deeply into the real estate market lately these past few months. I have been working with the team here for just over a 1 year, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

With the enormous amount of potential coming from website publishing and residual income I would be a fool not to not seize this golden opportunity: which is why I am partnering with SEO Guy for some starter projects to get my feet through the doors, then begin my own journey, keeping the connections strong of course. Funny enough, I also work best while listening to trance! (but I wear headphones when at work lol) Do you have any favorite artists? Pandora has become an addiction lately.. My personal preference is in vocal trance, really gets the mind in motion, nothing too fast tempo though, haha – that just gives headaches. Pretty much ALL that I listen too right now is… Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, ATB, Ian Van Dahl, Plummet, 4 Strings, Iio and a ton of great mixes on Di.Fm – Haven’t really gotten into Last.Fm yet… Any artists that you recommend? =)

Cheers,

That was a great read! In the publishing side of the webmaster genre good helpful information is often hard to find and I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate successful people like yourself and Chris sharing experiences and tips.

It really is a very cool way to go about your business. I wish you ongoing success and hope you continue to find happiness in what you do.

Thanks,

You sound like my friends! I haven’t really allowed my lifestyle to change. One of the reasons I took a job in the sales dept was because I wanted to see the tactics they used to sell PPC and CPM campaigns. The job didn’t last too long, because I quit after under a month of working there due to the fact that I’m a lot more productive when I’m working at home with trance music blaring in the background. I guess that’s not something you can do in an office with lots of other people! I also worked at a leading SEO firm about a year ago, and even though I loved the atmosphere and people there, I just couldn’t stand working for someone else. That was also about the time when my financial sites started to explode in the revenue dept., so I guess it’s just a fact that I cannot work for someone else, whether I want to accept it or not.

Thank you to everyone for your awesome comments! I always appreciate them!

I wandered through my twenties working jobs that I didn’t really care for and while I had some clues what I wanted to do, I couldn’t exactly put my finger on it. But this is it. This is what I want to do. I love working my own hours, I love being independent and I love how much you make depends on how much time/effort you spend on it.

Since I’m starting off, my goals right now are small so they are realistic and achievable, but they’ll get bigger in the future if things progress smoothly.

You and the people on Sitepoint are my inspiration. Some day I hope to have a success story to share to you.
