Working at home online isn’t for everybody. Only the few survive anyway. Usually it’s the die hard people who refuse to give up on anything, which includes me. No matter what happens we keep going. Trust me, the learning curve is huge for tech dummies like me.

Not only is the techie part a challenge so are the 10-14 hour days and nights spent online not making one cent. I’m a hard worker and have been used to working hard all my life, however, I always made money doing it. Many times online you work hard and make zero!

It is frustrating to work and have nothing to show for it. Not to mention how it feels when a friend or family member asks you how much you made this month or last.

Then there’s the time spent alone for days on end without any offline contact with real people in the real world. This turns into weeks, months and I suppose years.

Naturally, if you’re married or living with people there’s more interaction. However, you still have to shut yourself up and stay somewhat isolated to focus. Working online at home requires a certain amount of focus because distractions hinder progress.

Much of the time is spent writing, so if you don’t like to write working online may not be for you. Alternatively, you can outsource writing and all the other work as well.

There are other drawbacks to working at home online, but these are the ones that usually make people give up, no money, long hard hours and lack of tech skills.

The good news is that it gets better as you go and you do start making money. Also, time spent working decreases and then you’re freed up as you learn to work smarter not harder. The hard work done in the beginning does pay off, but only if you hang in there.

If I had it to do all over again I would have worked with a mentor from the get go. This would have saved me a lot of time, I wasted a lot of time doing guess work.

After I found trustworthy people who could and would help it made working at home online easier. The three that were most helpful were Ed Dale of the 30 Day Challenge, Travis Sago aka Bum Marketer, and Amy Bass of the Niche Blogger.
