Tell me moar

you want to quit work or go part time or something?
I very much doubt I can quit work. Well thats the current case but if I can change this then excellent. I didn't win £160m on the eurolottery so still have to work.

Could you go down to 2-3 days a week instead and then earn the rest online?

These are my last 12 months for 'online income' and you can see a difference from January where I went full time with all this and was able to focus more on high paying ops that were hard to do when you had a job alongside them lol

There are a number of things I'm looking at but I think I'll be forever working for 'the man'.

Fun fact - my mortgage is more than the uk average takehome pay.

:D

Damn that living in London! I was promised that the streets were gold! GOLD I TELL THEE!!!!

I mean my monthly mortgage payment is more than the monthly average take home pay.

Although that may (or may not) be more terrifying!

So a number of things need to fall into place before I can quit the rat-race and join a new rat-race.

You should move up north. I've just gone up in the world to an area where you have to pay over £100k for a 3 bedroom house. The audacity. I'm not used to anything above 80.

Is working remotely an option? I loved it, especially for the flexibility of fitting in other projects, but it depends how social you are, etc.

I'm not sure I've got the correct vacinations for living north of watford gap services!

:D

My current working arrangements suit me (at the moment) so I'm staying put. Well I am looking at the possibility of moving out of london but only to get a house (and still be commutable from london).

lots needs to fall into place to make that happen so who knows.

Here's to 2020!

Why do people think going freelance / self employed is quitting the rat race or not working for 'the man'?

It's just swapping one load of headaches for another but you have more control over those headaches lol

I did say I'd be joining a new rat-race.

And as for 'work for the man', I think its more being 100% master of your own destiny.

100% Reward and 100% Risk.

100% risk you are spot on.

Everything could change SEO wise and I would lose a ton of income

can't really worry about that though lol

From my readings on 'internet history', there have been a few massive shifts in SEO - however - 'most' legitimate websites have managed to remain unharmed by them (give or take a bit of advertising revenue) due to them not partaking in underhand activities that could risk their google rankings.

If you were dependent on Facebook for all your income and then facebook decided to kick you to the kerb (or youtube, or twitter, or Vine, or Myspace) then you've not considered whether your business model is a safe one.

If Media Vine goes tomorrow
Or Amazon get rid of Affs
Or Quidco
Or Awin
Or whatever....
