Thank you for sharing these great tips. I was planning for quitting my day job after 4 months as it does not pay much as I deserve.

thanks for coming by Andrew. I know that working for yourself is not for everyone but if it is your dream there are ways to get there and they aren’t as difficult as some might think. Which one of the tips are you following that works for you? do you have other tips you’d like to share?

I agree if your primary business is building sites for yourself. If you do it like I did though – working for others and building your own income – you can quit sooner. When I quit I had only replaced half of my income with online work but you can bet that once I didn’t have that regular income from a day job, I was out there hustling for work. It certainly gives you incentive to find work when you know that you don’t have back up anymore. I believe that if you are determined you can find the work that is available online. Mind you, having 7 years experience as an online writer helped.

I think that before quitting and making the switch to a freelance job you need to have that job already stable. From experience, it has taken years to achieve good rankings for certain sites and blogs. Without rankings you can’t make income unless you can afford advertising. It’s best to start your website or blog and build it part time until its making equal or more income than your job.

Hi Danielle,
I experience the quitting my day job, recently. I choose to quit since the job did not give me appropriate salary and the job got me into the stress. But, now I’m a freelance writing and working for the online media. However, your tips are great. I follow one of them, actually. Thanks for sharing this.
