I don't work at all, at least according to my friends. When I do work, I work at home. I get paid every day. And I get paid more than just about anyone I know.

I write and sell e-books on Internet. I'm writing this little article to inspire people that are looking for same things I was looking for just a couple of years ago: financial independence, a work-at-home option, some prestige, and oh yeah, that little thing we need called a creative outlet.

When I go to parties and tell people that I write and sell e-books they almost always say "what's that"? But that's OK, that's just part of being an "e-book publisher".

My story started out in 1996, when I was a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Network Engineer, flying around world in a "monkey suit". I dreamed of a way that I could sell some study guides to some of guys I was training and other people on Internet, and so I wrote six documents in Microsoft Word that I began to sell at $24.95 each. I started a web site, and eventually I had a 140 links to it and a nice search engine ranking (a luxury today). I sold my study guides on my web site, even producing an income of up to $1,500 a month. I didn't know it but I was selling e-books.

Millions of people are doing searches on their local search engines everyday trying to find businesses that will allow them to work from home. After all, Internet is a HUGE marketplace and online business owners are making a fortune. That's not to say that these business owners did not sweat blood and tears to set up their Online Home Businesses and go for months if not years before they saw one ounce of profit. But if you would ask any of them right now if it was worth it, I guarantee you they will tell you.YES!

Let's look at some of advantages of owning an Online Home Business versus tradition 9-5 career.

No Commute

Many of us are lucky enough to live close to our place of employment, but that doesn't go to say that we don't have to set a stringent schedule that starts with alarm clock going off, rushing to coffee pot, making breakfast for our families, rotating shower times, getting our children dressed and off to school, and on top of that making commute to our day jobs. By time most of us get to work, we feel as though we have already put in a hard days work.

Can you imagine owning an Online Home Business and putting all of this behind you? Imagine starting work each day when you are ready too, without having to rush. You may even want to skip shower and work in your pajamas. This is what many of us do.

Be your own boss

Nothing is more aggravating for those of us who have bosses who you swear were prison wardens in another life. Breathing down your back, making unreasonable demands, and caring nothing for your family or personal health.

Can you imagine owning an Online Home Business and being your own boss? You could decide when you would work, and how long. If you wanted to take a day or two off, then you could make that decision without facing repercussions from your boss. If you needed to stop in middle of day to run errands or pick your children up from school, you could do this also.
