Online Job or Online Business?

[Czorny]

I'm totally into online business, but same time I work full-time as an Internet marketer. You know, the key point of having a full-time online job - a stable source of income, which I can invest into business without taking too much risk.

It's a bit time-consuming, thus, but definitely worth its effort.

Thus I believe that when I make my own web business work well, I'm not quite sure I'd keep goin' to the office...but yeah, sometimes I just need to communicate with real people. That's the key point of what I love in a JOB.

I realize that asking this question is just begging to be bombarded by spam....BUT seriously, stay-at-home-mommies, have any of you found a REAL way to make money online? I'm not talking about those "affiliate programs" or pyramid schemes where the whole point is just to get other people to join so you can make money off them. But aren't there any legitmate jobs online? I have a 2year old and a 6month old and money is so tight right now but I really want to stay home with them. what about assembling crafts at home? is that a scam somehow too?

Why do you prefer online business?

It has it's good points and bad points as you need to have capital to keep the business going in the rough times.

The only online job I ever had was a volunteer position, helping my local Chamber keep their website updated. On the other hand, I've been running my own offline retail business plus selling my own handcrafted products for 27+ years. I think that just made it a natural for me to try my own online businesses.

I think both are good from job you get experience and from business you can implement that experience for your benefit.

for me guys if you have knowledge and experience on it though not that very long, it is right to take some risk and learning their style on how to run this kind of business/job coz doing both if you can really earns you a very substantial income.

I'm doing the job but would like to set-up an online business .. am not sure what. I want mainly money to work for me, not the other way around.

[Stuart Mackenzie]

In my opinion it is better to have an online business than an online job. The main reason why I say this is because if you have an online job you are simply trading time for money and there is no opportunity to scale up the business.

However when you have your online business you can use the OPT principle which means that you use "other people's time" and stick to what you are good at yourself. With a successful online business your "shop" should be open 24 hours a day and providing your prospective customer can understand your site and values the content your customer could be situated anywhere in the world.In other words it is far easier to increase the scale of your business.

I hope this helps.

On line business is the best way to make a money and deliver the details about your site to the others because you can communicate with the other or sell the your things

Hello,
I agree with both of them.Both of them have advantages.
It's your choice.Make your decision if you want to work online then work online business or better you run your own business by paying yourself.

In business you have chances to loose money if any thing happen wrong like market down or any kind of problem. In online marketing job you are sure about your salary. And second thing is that I'm in new in this field and as much knowledge I have so I prefer online job. When I gain more knowledge and experience then may be my mind change.

Look: I've asked myself the same question. I'm running an online business and I thought I could also work freelance over the internet for some extra income. So I browsed jobs on Elance and I found that I could easily work as a web developer or content writer and get paid per job. But then, it occured to me: The amount of time and energy spent to develop websites and -especially- SEOfriendly content for others (even if it pays well -which in most cases doesn't) would give me hundred times more return if it were invested in my own online business -that is, creating original SEO friendly content for my website. So I gave up on the idea of an online 'job', and decided to concentrate on my website.

Of course, it's a choise, all I'm saying is that I'd rather invest my work hours in my business...

I voted for online job. It's more convenient to work for someone else online, than taking the hard way and run an online business. As every other business, you will might end up working 12-16 hours per day. People that run online business, tend to overwork everyday.

I do prefer online business. Way back on my college class, I used to answer that before. Online business carries a great advantage indeed, one there is the time, No time limit required and at any time you can actually purchase your wants and needs.

Now-a-days there is nothing best than a successful business whether it is conducted online or offline. Actually doing a business is far good than a job
