Earning a living from the internet
Well, I’ve been making a living in the internet using my skills as a freelance web designer and developer. I’ve been designing and developing websites now for several years. I started out doing graphic designs and then shifted to web designs, now into web development. Sort of where the income is higher I follow the flow. People hire me for my services and I provide my services on contractual basis.
One of the perks of it is I get to do work at home and get paid more than being employed. Downside is I have to pay manually my own tax and government services like SSS and PAG-IBIG, no HR like when employed on a company who handles this for you.
Before I know alot of people who wants to start working at home but don’t have the skills do it, but things have changed since blogging has become a medium of expression in the internet. I started blogging because I wanted to improve is my skills in writing.
Writing skills is one of those skills once you learn it you never forget and it can always still be improved and honed. Learning how to write is easier than learning a new programming language. I know several people who earns big from blogging, some even bigger than what I earn for a living building websites. Some treat the income from blogging as one of the perk from what they do best which is to write. However when their monthly earnings surpasses their wage as an employee they quit their job and become a full time blogger. A lot of people are doing it but there is always the fear of uncertainty. When I quit my job and became a freelance developer I had those uncertainty too. But now I don’t feel any fear.
Earlier I was treating blogging as a passive income, you write one good article and with good traffic you never know how much you are going to earn. Now I’m aiming to make it my business, there is always vacancy to earning more and making a living from the internet.
