I’m 59, just moved to Rome with my wife for her job and would like to do something that had been on my mind for ages but never dared to do before, as I was working 60 hours a week and barely made ends meet: to make money on my own terms, working flexible hours and enjoying life, now that my kids are all grown up and have their own lives.
I want to be independent but my #1 reason is that I want to be able to organize my time however I want and not to have to sell my time for money.
I would love to have location independence, and more flexible hours.
I am a semi-retired ex business owner who moved to Mexico to experience a different lifestyle and get out of the rat race I was in for the last 35 years. I am looking to continue to growth our wealth while living as an ex-pat.
Appreciate the info.
Ultimately I feel like I’m missing out on time with my wife and boys. If I could work from home and quit my office job I could be home with them a lot more often. She works from home and if she has a slow day they will randomly go do something. Like the zoo or pool. Fun stuff that creates core memories that I am not a part of.
I’ve been in a 9-5 job for over 9 years now and I’ve seen so many people around me living paycheck to paycheck with their professional life taking all over their personal life. I see people drowning themselves in millions of debt for their ‘Dream Home’, spend everything for that dream and don’t really live a fulfilling life. I just don’t see myself doing that. I want to get out of this rat race, give my family and more importantly myself, all the luxuries and experiences there are out there. That’s my motivation.
I want financial independence and to be able to work from anywhere.
I want to earn money online to support my creative goals and life in general. also to make myself busy
All the reasons you mentioned are attractive and I will certainly be taking some free time to enjoy that space. and i will be ready to do your online work and also am still a student perusing a course in Information Communication Technology
I aspire to increase my monthly salary to pursue the things I enjoy. My goal is to eventually leave my full-time job and work online from anywhere. Living in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, my dream is to move to the Western Cape, near my family, and work from home. Travel the world and do the things I cannot do with my 8-5 job.
I started two YouTube channels about 20 days ago, but they haven’t gained much traction yet. Perhaps I’m in the wrong niche. I’m still learning the ropes, which is why I’m so excited to receive advice from you.
Hi Niall
All the reasons you mentioned are attractive and I will certainly be taking some free time to enjoy that space. Now semi retired, I’ve been a freelance taxi driver in the beautiful city of York, England for the past 23 years. Although being a beautiful small mediaeval place it’s national and international popularity translates into massive daily congestion, which I’ve had quite enough of. Plus I know that my pensions won’t give me the lifestyle I crave, to be able to travel or live anywhere I choose at the drop of a hat. I’ve always wanted to or at least experience living on a narrowboat. Or maybe only in the summer months whilst opting to live in a warmer climate in the winter, whilst earning an income from my laptop from anywhere I choose. I think I deserve the freedom to choose for myself after so many years of serving the public in their choices.
I want to start an online business because I want financial stability
For now I would like to just watch the commuting traffic rather than being in it. Just that, without worrying about 9 to 5 life will good enough for me.
I just turned 61 and have been laid-off again!
I want to find a way to make money online for the next 1 to 6 years before I can officially retire.
I want to earn money online to support my creative goals and life in general.
I am retired. Want to travel with my better half.
I just want to augment my retirement income
I am Retired and on Social Security, it just isn’t any way to have an enjoyable life. I am in fairly good health but I do not have any money to enjoy life with. I am miserable, its like having cabin fever all the time.
I want to escape the 9-5 routine and be able to manage my time by myself and enjoy my financial independence
i want make money from home!! and pay off my debit and still have money afterwards.
Hello there, I want to escape the 9-5 and be able to work from my laptop at home. also, I really want to travel regularly and visit dozens of new countries while being able to make money online….anywhere.
I am retired, and a family member is facing huge medical expense and I want to help as much as I can.
It’s simple. I’m retired and need to generate additional income.
I need to make at least an extra $500 per month to feed my family, take my wife on dates regularly. if possible, to get out of bad debt permanently
i want to start earning online so i can work from home!!
The reasons are many,the general one is that am poor,Since I stop working everything is stucked since 2012
No money, to support myself and my entire family. my life is too hard to stay.I donot have agood house/home or to fail to send my children and grandchildren to high education. So I want my life and my family to be transformed.
I am 61 and am sick of working as a massage therapist. I want my husband to LEAVE his job so we can spend the rest of our lives TOGETHER instead of apart. We have been to Europe only twice and I want to go live in Spain for a year or two. And travel all over Europe. There is more. So much more ,,, but you said only one thing and Iβve said three already.
Iβm praying your advice will work for us. You seem genuine. I guess we will see.
i want more time with my family, being able to give my kids more time at home, without waking them op early, and opportunities to travel more.
I want to live the laptop or as automated as possible lifestyle due to illness of my dad and myself.
I want to live the laptop or as automated as possible lifestyle due to illness.
Because I’m 74 and ageism exists despite the fact that I have fielded over 30,000 inbound phone calls in the last decade and successfully sold a $400 service over the phone. I’m sure most companies would consider me to be too old to work. So I have no choice but to try online marketing in order to supplement retirement income.
I wish to become financially independent
I want financial freedom and live life in my own terms not depending on a 9-5 office jobs. I can’t wait to get started!
If I am going to do back breaking work, it is not going to be for someone else. I refuse to spend the rest of my natural life barely getting by while I put money in another man’s pocket for pennies on the dollar myself. I’ve no problem working hard, but it must be on my terms.
Hi Niall,
I’ve signed up for this ONE REASON:
I’m 44 years old, working a 9 to 5 plus overtime job since I finished school and 5 year apprenticeship, have been retrenched twice in the last 4 years, every time starting a new position with less income than the previous; “cause that’s what is available out there”, married, a father of 2 daughters leaving school soon, basically bankrupt, and desperate to find a way out for the girls.
I wanna spend more time at home!!! An extra income to get more spare time!!
I want to earn online, learn online skills, and do things at my own time. Like taking vacations and enjoy absolute freedom.
I was on my way to becoming a Regional Manager making 6 digits in property management when I got sick and started having gran mal seizures. I had to leave my career which sent me spiraling and very unhappy and unfulfilled (I’m not the worlds greatest housewife). I’ve always written in my spare time for fun, short children’s stories or poems that I got into after reading ‘Sick’ by Shel Silverstein. After getting ripped off a couple times and a LOT of research, I’m still really no closer to publishing any of my books then I was a couple years ago, so I started branching out and looking for other ways to earn an income from home and thankfully I came across your website here!
I want to do this for two reasons 1) to be able to live(money) during my retirement, and 2) it looks like fun.
So my big passion is golf, and I’d really like to make it a job someday if possible, but with my current job I don’t get much free time.
I’d love the freedom and chance to spend more time on this. I also really like the thought of working for myself, and I think it would reduce my stress and anxiety a lot, especially not having to commute daily.
I am tired of the so many work hours and stress with little pay at the end. Working online at flexible hours would be awesome.
Hey Niall, Iβve got 2 choices: either follow your path or stay in this cold miserable Canadian climate and get ready for my funeral and I thought long and hard about it (NOT) and decided the former is far preferable. So letβs go!!
I would like to shut down 70-80 hours a week .
10-20 hours with a Labtop would be great.
I am tired of always rarely making ends meet. Asa retired person, I, need a supplement income.
I’d love to be able to travel more and work while traveling, rather than have to take vacation. Having a second source of income until I’m ready to go completely online will help boost my savings to pay bills and get online only quicker!
I want to start earning online to make more money. I’m retired and living on social security so money is tight.
I would like to buy a condo, travel and become a snow bird; all things I’m unable to do on my current income.
I’m tired of living pay cheque to pay cheque, and never having quite enough. I want to pay off our mortgage so we have a secure home and I want to share the responsibility of home educating our three children with my partner by being around during the day and being able to give the children amazing experiences to learn from like travel, theatre, art, music etc which I just don’t earn enough for or have time for with my Mon-Fri, 9-5, desk job.
There are a few reasons I want to make money online (multiple streams of income).
First: It will give me that feeling security that I am not dependent on my monthly paycheck but that I have money coming in from multiple sources, on a continual basis.
Secondly: it is a way to make a name for myself. Something unique, create a legacy for my future generations! Teach them that anything is possible and that they too can go online and make money and create something for themselves. Giving them more options!
Third: TIME. Slowly but surely this extra money will be invested so I can achieve F.I.R.E. quicker and ultimately regain MY TIME back. Precious time to be spent with loved ones. This is probably the MOST important factor of all, if you really think about it.
Discovering our beautiful planet as a family, all while the money from my online sources and investments fund our lifestyle.
WOW, what a dream/goal to have this is!
I want to start an online business so I can travel.
I am a housewife. My husband is a driver. I have 3 children. My husband’s income alone is not enough to fully meet their needs. So I decided to start a business online
The number one reason I want to earn online is to have my time back. I went through an injury which sidelined me for a year and taught me a lot about myself. During my recovery I was able to start so many things from home. Once I got back to work everything had to be put on hold. Iβm grateful for the blessings I have but I would like my time back.
My reason for wanting to start an online business is to be able to support myself, my family, and close ones in a healthy and complete manner. By that, I mean to have an ideal family and work balance where the work is very rewarding, particularly being satisfied in my business venture, financially, and have the freedom to enjoy life fully without restrictions. A business opportunity that allows me to be proud as a supportive parent in all respects, that is able to facilitate quality opportunities to my close ones. I do not want to work a 9-5 and I want to be able to enjoy life, such as traveling, and to be able to support my family in creating their dreams in life. I have learned, through trials and errors then and now, how painful it is to not be able to provide satisfactorily for my family, not enjoying what I do (Corrections), and not being in the ideal state of mind and ideal financial position to provide comfortably for my loves ones. It is the greatest burden that I carry day in and day out despite working regularly approximately 80 hours a week. So then, you can understand how admirable and dream-like to hear these wonderful stories of those that are living this amazing life of having financial satisfaction, freedom of time, and satisfaction in their work. As I applaud these individuals and being inspired at the same time, I wish to experience the same.
There is a couple of reasons I want to try and earn a living on-line really. 1) to be able to replace my warehouse job as I am struggling with the physical side due to health issues and 2) I want to be able to have some fun in life with my family and not forever saying I can’t afford it. I work hard and get naff all in return, so I am hell bent on changing that.
I want to make money online so I can retire from my job as I have no savings and Iβm getting older. I want to be able to provide a better life for my family.
the reason I want to earn more money is because I have no job. I’m disabled with seizures and don’t have the privilege to drive. I would like to have a home based business so I can receive checks in the mail and open a bank account. I don’t have a laptop yet just a smart phone. Im a line artist I would like to open an online art store to sell art supplies as well as selling my art designs. I also would like to make new friends willing to work with me as I work with them. we would be a team or campaign that works together and put our talents to use so we can enjoy our job online. I also need a driver that works with me that I can pay to transport me to places I need to go. meet new people make like you and live a more freer independent life with the support I need. thanks
I am here now to begin with having more sources of income than getting paid from job where i work in 5 shifts. i hate it! this way i can quit my job when i can create more financial freedom so that i can move to spain and enjoy. to be able to decide when, and how long i work.
Iβm looking to earning an online because Iβm just not making enough to pay my bills anymore, i end up being in the negative every month. Iβm 52y.o and would like to have some financial freedom, i had before the pandemic. Like to be able to save some money, travel, help my mother and buy a new car.
The main reason for working online is to be free from heavy traffic even though your earlier enough it felt also stress/exhausted at the same time. We can also have time to our love’s one Bondings with kids took care specially if you are married one while working online
Hey Niall,
I want to earn online because I’m older and physically unable to attend a regular job. I’m also used to running my own show and have done so most of my life until illness forced me to retire in my late ’50’s (that was a few years ago).
My aim is to supplement an income that is ALMOST adequate, but does not allow for luxuries like travel, the odd new (or newer) auto, etc.
I also enjoy the structure that comes with having a project.
I want to live my life and not make others money so they can sit on a beach somewhere – It’s my turn NOW
Earning online is just different from all these jobs I’ve grown up learning about….I want to be independent, be my own boss and travel around the world….financially Independent and take care of my family and finally study Music(my dream) in Berklee
I want to escape from the monotonous and boring 9 to 5 job, want more financial freedom, wanted to build multiple sources of income, and live a peaceful and satisfying life. π
I want a flexible schedule. Control over my own time and holidays. No more grovelling for a leave day. Passive income over time. But mostly I love working from my home, out on the farm and want to be able to work from my home office.
I am presently unemployed. I want to able to earn a decent income while I am in total control of time. In nut shell I am in it for Time and Financial Freedom.
I have multiple reasons. Just like everyone else I would prefer a freedom-based lifestyle being able to travel and go wherever and whenever I want. I am young, 19 years old. Growing up in a small apartment with a single mom is a huge motivating factor to be able to do what was once looked at as the impossible in my family. Ideally, I want to be able to help and inspire others as well throughout my journey, contributing to transitioning the old ways of living into the new world. What the world should be like, no matrix. Freedom, love, peace, and happiness. The thought of being able to be a part of that while helping my family with their money issues would be a dream come true.
For me it is to be able to spend more time with my family and if possible spend the winter living abroad. Gets freezing in the UK.
The #1 reason I want to start earning online is to have a 2nd stream of income that can eventually become my main source of income.
Within the next two years I intend to spend my days travelling the world. I want to work in a way that supports that, both in terms of finances and time.
I would like to find full-time writing opportunities.
Hi Niall. I just recently retired from 25yrs of working as a Sgt in a Max A prison…glad its over, but it treated me well. My pension is decent, but a divorce left me struggling. The thought of going back to 9 to 5 is sickening. I just wanna live a quiet life intge ADK mountains where I am now. Nit looking to be rich just enough not to struggle every month. I just dont know wherecto start. Its depressing. I am a weapons instructor and tactical instructor. Fitness because of my job has been a big part of my life. Any kinda of helpful input would be appreciated. Thank You and stay safe and Godbless.
I want to start earning online because I am tired of corporations controlling my existence. I trade all of my time for low amounts of money and every time I climb the ladder to a higher level (ie management, lead, supervisor) I am always phased out like I never really mattered anyway. After over 16 years of wasted time, I am saying I want more for myself and my family.
To be financially free and leave my country
I am here to learn about making more money online. I have been at this for a couple of years and I am still looking for the right button to push!
I want to be in charge of what I do and when I do it. I want to travel a lot more and live abroad (from the US) even for a few years so my daughter gets a full experience of living somewhere else, not just visiting. I had a career for 30 years and I’m done with it, but still need income.
I want to have a financial freedom and give my children life I never had.
The number one reason would be to be independent β being able to travel wherever and whenever I want while still earning money, independent of an employer, and arranging my working hours to my own will.
As an introvert who is comfortable at home, and don’t socialize much, I want to find a way to earn for my family without having to leave them. I want my learned skills from school about technology to be of use to the society. It feels great to be able to help someone. I don’t really feel confident though about my skills but I may not be really good, but with enough experience, I think I can be someday. Even if it fears me, I have to try than do nothing at all.
Hello Niall,
My name is Alexis and my main reason for wanting to earn from home is the freedom and flexibility to control my own schedule. I am an outside-the-box person and I really want to carve my own path by creating a business that can make a difference socially, ecologically and economically, while earning a decent living, and I know I have the power to do this, I just need some direction. I have been thinking about this for a long time, wasting time working for others at way too low pay for way too long, and now, paying $5-$6 per gallon of gas to get there, I’m expending too much to balance with the income. I lost my mom two and a half years ago after caring for her in her last years, unfortunately destroying my finances to do it. I would never have done it differently, she needed and deserved my attention and care. The only thing I would have done differently would to have found an opportunity like this. The time has come for me to get up, brush off, and rebuild my life.
The draw of travel, snow-birding every winter and earning a better-than-livable wage are also reasons I want to create my own business. I’ve been dreaming long enough, it is time to act.
Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge, and I am very much looking forward to growing.
Alexis
To increase my income STREAMS and be free!
The way the world is today people really need to think of the future for their family, working too many hours or not enough, living paycheck to paycheck. Been there done that, people deserve to get paid for their worth, working online is a better way to make your own hours spend time with family and get paid. Also you don’t have to worry about someone trying to get your job, being laid-off or a company closing its doors.
Of course to make some money to pay off debts,save money, go on vacation help kids/family/friends. But most of all have freedom to do whatever you want with your time, not to put up with abuse at work.
Hi Niall,
My nr 1 reason for working towards an online business is that I want to be able to work from anywhere, so that I can travel to visit my son in London, my daughter in Cape Town and my family and friends in Pretoria.
Thanks for great information and your weekly newsletter.
Kind regards,
Susan
Earn a good income to take care of my family and other responsibilities and get ready for retirement.
I want to learn something completely different from the safety of my place.I am tired of always ending up doing hard manual work for jobs all the time .I also want to be flexible with my hrs as I run a rescue cattery for elderly furkids.And yes I want to earn a comfortable amount of money and gain a great amount of financial freedom.I know there’s alot to learn but I’m keen ,keeping this quiet atm as I am surrounded by naysayers
I’m wanting a flexible schedule and I have been researching how to do it for years. It’s time for me to step up and do it!
Hi, Niall!
I hope to create some sources of passive income and maybe some active income as well, in order to assure more than one source, and remain self-reliant and able to cope with coming economic challenges such as the inflation that we are starting to experience.
Thank you for your work and encouragement!
Hello Niall… First off let me say Thank You for all your work and great content. I find it facinating, intriguing, entertaining and most importanly Helpful. You asked for my reason to want to earn online and simply put I want a better life for my son and myself. I am stuck in a 9-5 job and even took on a 2nd job to catch up on the bills. I have been researching more and more and realize the potential that online earning has to offer. My son is 16 and will be heading off to college and then the military. I want to give him a better opportunity to do so. He is a straight A’s 4.0 gpa student athlete who has also played football since the age of 6. I feel he deserves some of the benefits I want to give him. Keep up the great work Niall and again Thank You for all your work and motivation.
I am from pakistan I want to earn money because i want to continue my study
Hi and thank you for all the info you send us. Now my reasons are simply I am 65yrs old, out of work, living on the bread line determined to retire in July 2022 and would like to earn from home so I don’t live on the bread line
Am from Pakistan and I want job to countinu my study because I belong to a poor family this job is really important for me
A comfortable retirement (semi-retirement)
I’m Grace doing my undergraduate degree. I need the extra money to facilitate school needs without having to leave campus.
Work opportunities in my country are scarce, and earning an income has become difficult to do. I would like to earn and support my family and give my kids a better future.
My name is Sahida I am a house wife I want to earn online to give my children the extra the things and get graduate after there school because my daughter after finishing school last year she is working at a grocery shop to help her father. My dream is make my children’s get degree go to college and lead a lucrative lifestyle.
I had a commute to a regular job, but then I lost it due to less orders coming in, which made me redundant. So I went from a time consuming commute to unemployed. So I guess I now have time to start up an online business.
I want to be able to take more holidays.
I already have a business (which I enjoy) but would like to outsource a big chunk of it and supplement it with income that doesn’t tie me to a location.
I stay in South Africa and the change in the political situation made me loose my job on 54. I am almost 57 now without finding a job and would like to earn from a job online.
I would love to save time from having to commute to work everyday 8-5 Job. This will give me lots of time to make an extra income stream and more timyfor my young children.
I am retired, live on my own, kids all left home and I want to make more money and have my own life.
Thank you, I want to earn online, I want to change my life situation with your offer..
Thank you for offering this resource!
I am hoping to work from home so that I can minimize the effort involved in work, such as commute. I love people but also the idea of working at home appeals to me for comfort and making life uncomplicated. (That must sound odd to you since it looks like you love going places and doing things that look very complicated to me!) The time I save can be used in whatever way to enjoy life as I wish–reading, socializing, cooking, doing home improvement. I like the independence that it seems to offer.
Thanks again!
Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis March 2020.
Became a widow 1 dec 2020.
Finally after 4 years I completed my masters degree in photography at Nelson mandela university.
Need money for expensive medical expenses and to pay for life for myself and 2 young children.
Thatβs why
I would like to earn income from home.
My current job will become redundant in July next year and I was hoping to supplement my pensions with some extra income without having to work for a company.
This would also give me more free time
I’d like to work online, so I have time to be with my kids when they are free, or to run school errands. To be more flexible with my time and place where I want to be. Also to earn enough money, so I can still travel and show the world to my kids as I’m working.
To be in control of my own life
The reason why i want to work online so that i have time for my family and specially to my mother.I am the youngest to 8 siblings and all of them are married already so i want to spend a time for my mom and to my love ones while i do my work as well. I really really love to apply and try it but i dont have much strenght that i can cause i was thought its only for professional or a bachelor graduate. I also had lots of failure applying online jobs cause it needs to have a one payment guarantee and since i lost my job for almost a year and half cause of the pandemic so i choose to take good care for my mom.But i really try to have a small business for us to survive in time of pandemic, i try lots of business cause that was the thing we can do in my area where i am leaving cause we are not allowed to go anywhere so i sale it online in our page in barangay so that small earning i keep on striving cause of medical and daily needs also.So now i kept on trying to have even a small earning online at least its always, and its a pleasure of mine to be part of the family and i will do my best and to achieve going to success.Hoping that i can fit and i am willing to learned.
wishing you a wonderful day.
I need to have the flexibility to work whatever I want, whenever I want and wherever I want on my own and fulfill my dreams of travelling and get to know other cultures in this world.
I need to change my living situation, and to that I need steady cash.
I’m a pensioner, and will lose my home in 2 years if I cannot sort my debts out.
Traveling around and seeing new things Is my biggest motivation
I want to start earning online because I want to live my life to the fullest with my girlfriend whom I am with for 3 years now. I need peace so I can workout at the gym, not stress out and escape my 9-5 job. I lose almost whole day on that job, I only make around 500$ a month.
Hello , im an undergraduate student , im here because i want to bear the cost of my studies , im from malaysia and i would really like to further my bachelor degree studies on the other country , but i need to have financial support on my own since my parents couldnβt support me that much .
I have a wife who for about three years is struggling with congestive heart failure. I need a solution for these medical bills. I am finding that being an employee is being in poverty. And it isn’t freedom answering to someone else. Working from anywhere is appealing in that I can be home to care for my wife when needed. I am looking forward to a flexible schedule and declaring my independence.
It’s the financial freedom for me. Living life on my on terms. That’s my biggest motivation
I want to earn online so I can have time for my family and also have flexible hours
Hi Niall – Found you just an hour ago on your Wealthy Affiliate Review video and have since checked out some other videos and bits of your site. Your video work is brilliant and I cannot believe that those I have seen have pulled so relatively few views! I have subscribed. I followed the link to this part of your site with the intention of signing up for your online earnings series and your newsletter or whatever. My only grouch is that the link from your video didn’t take me to a sign-up form and as yet I am still to find one! I hope that you or one of you people can add me to your list from here. I very much look forward to seeing more of your work. Glad I found you. PS – One thing that it is surely not good to be selling on line during the COVID Pandemic is TRAVEL!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words, Douglas. I see you found your way onto my email list in the end π
I want to earn online for the following reasons:
To care for an elderly, ailing parent whereas a “traditional” job does not offer this flexibility
To save the time commuting to work out instead
To be more productive. Most meetings and folks stopping by to “chat” are not the most productive uses of time.
To be safer/healthier. In a time of COVID, being able to WFH is priceless, and at least gives some feeling of control over potentially unsafe working conditions.
hi Niall,
Main reason is my wife is disabled and will get worse in time ,I want to at some point in the future be able to work from home so as to be there for her plus we need to move to North Devon with family. oh yeah, I’m 55 now and a joiner so this old body isn’t quite doing what it used- too lol.
Cheers everyone.
I am in a bad spot financially & earning US $ rather than Mauritian Rupees seems to be the best solution to progress quicker out of the hole! The ratio Mr Rs: US$ is now 43:1.
I’m retiring in a year from a long career but I feel like I still want to contribute in some way. Also, I want to travel and enjoy life so I don’t want to get stuck in another ‘job’.
I am from Nepal. i want to free online job what will be good for me. I don’t need enough money but i want to use my free time in this field which can help me to learn new thing and i can get experience also. thank you.
I retired early and need to supplement my income. Would like to build a passive income through an online business to have extra money.
I would like to travel and work, i am from Philippines but currently living here in Germany. The German language was not so easy to learn.. I fin8shed Business Management. But i am working now as a cook.. but because of corona. The hotel and Restaurant was suffering now.
I’m here because I want to change my life!I’m working 12 hours ,6 days every week for 800β¬!I want to able to see my daughter grow and spend more time at home!And maybe if I’ll do it properly I could travel around!
I just want to be independent and free to live my life. Do as I please when and where ever I want. Call the shot to be the boss of my own environment.
Niall I want to earn online for FREEDOM. Not answer to anyone but me . Travel when I want work when I want( 7 A.M. or 9P.M.) I don’t have to make millions just enough to be comfortable. First trip is to Ireland to visit roots of my family, have a real Guinness or 2. I am

Niall, you style and friendliness are great. Let the Good accompany you.
I would like to earn extra money for retirement as it’s coming fast. Also, it would be nice to work whenever I want.
The main reason is that, I Am starting online earning because i belongs to middle class family and i want to explore my self with my family thats the reason i am here
I want to increase my income because I shall be retiring soon and my government pension will be small. I hope that the course will be easy enough for a digital novice like myself.

Someone else dream and not my own.

I am tired of being underpaid and provided rubbish contracts, Spain is a great country to live in but the employment conditions leave a lot to be desired. I need to find a way to generate passive income and I want to learn the tricks of the trade to be financially stable, happy and be able to plan for some kind of future.
Hi, after working 24 years as a night auditor in a 4 star Hotel here in Gran Canaria, I would love to finally become independent. As we are heading into incertain times with Corona and all the main hotels closed, it is more important than ever to become financially independent, thus controlling your income and stability.
I want to generate $800,000 so I can buy a three bedroom condo at the beach, Jacksonville, Florida.
I got fired from my job 2 days ago and it was very abrupt no notice.This job i had to work 9 hrs a day and it was very tiring with very little salary.So i dont want to be employed anymore and plus i love travelling so with financial freedom i can make my dreams come true.
Hi Niall.
5 years ago I was forced to retire from a work place injury (buggered back).
I spent my life doing physical labour. I changed industries often and was able to pick up new skills relative easy. Was never scared to do things I’ve never done before.
The past 5 years have been horrible. I no longer have a purpose in life. The quality of my life is low. Throw in some depression, low self esteem and pure boredom.
Don’t know why its taken this long, but I really need to improve my life.
My education is about average. Never been one for office jobs though.
I can use a computer ok, so I thought why not have ago.
I need to do something before I go completely batshit crazy.
Hey Ken,
Thanks for the comments throughout this series. Sounds like you’ve had a rough time of it the past few years. Let me know if you get stuck with the online stuff.
Thanks Niall. will do.
Hello Niall,
It is Laslo. Thank you for your question.
We plan to live in India for a longer time and now I’m looking for the ways to cover the expensive. I don’t wanna be rich, it’s just the mere maintanance.
Why I want to start earning money online:
I literally have a lot of free time since the pandemic and we have been having a lot of issues with the universities in my country and I’ve been looking for ways to keep myself occupied while earning a ton of money, and I would really love to make a lot of money while I’m still in college and not depend on my parents.
Since covid19 struck the world. I lost my employment and I have resolved to now use my skills in working online from home.
I don’t want to be employed anymore .
Working full time as a preschool teacher for the last seven years, I made less than $2000 a month, and it took everything I had in me to fulfill my responsibilities. I believed in the work, but it hasn’t sustained me and my family. I have endured years of burnout instead. Now, I do not have an income.
That is why I am here. I have to learn how to do life in a different way in order to support our diverse needs, in order to live at all. I cannot afford to squander more time and life-force. I need to make my abilities and life experiences worthwhile.
Also, for my boy. I want him to know that life is more, and simpler, than what it has been for us at this point. I want him to believe in his own value and the importance of pursuing his dreams. I know that requires me to overcome my fears of inadequacy to be an example for him.
Thank you for sharing that, Brittany. Strong motivations there.
Have you looked into doing some teaching work online at all? Or would you rather move on to something different?
I want to work for myself and stop working 9-5. Having an online business is my dream so I can make money when I sleep.
I have never had a job that I have been truly happy in or passionate about. My career path has seen me me move from job to the next with no real idea of what I want to do for the last 25 years. I now have a young family who I want to spend more time with and a high pressure job which is reasonable pay but stressful. So much that I have stopped even enjoying my weekends and evenings because I am constantly thinking about the next day or weeks issues. It’s now become unhealthy as its affecting my mood and the time I DO spend with my family. I need to make a change but don’t want to jump into another JOB just to escape the current job. Ultimately i just want freedom to spend the time with my family without worrying about the financial obligations and be happy. I have toyed with the online idea now for months, probably years but have never known where to start so I’m going to give this a go!!!
Thanks for sharing that, Wayne. I see you left a few more comments later on in the series as well. Thanks for going through it all.
I Want Some Quality Time With My Family And With My Partner I Have Business but I m Getting Rid Of It So That I M Here To Earn Online
I want freedom of time to spend with my kids and financial freedom so I don’t have to worry about providing for them.
I am a musician. I want to earn more money in order to be able to continue study music.
I want the life of 4 hour work week so that I can travel the world, make my physique awesome, having no problems regarding money, financial independence, time independence also. I want this lifestyle also because I want pursue my hobbies and a lot of other reasons are there which I don’t remember.
I want the freedom, sick and tired of being chained to the office, want to be able to work and earn from anywhere in the world, I also want to control my livelihood, in my current job I’m always wondering if I’m going to be the next layoff…
thanks for putting these videos together.. karma!
Hello, my name is zaid i am a student who study business administration on Turkish Istanbul and my goal is to stop wasting and start working on my self by improving my skills or make something new
I want to get out of the financial povety in which I am. Is killing me and my hopes. I want to be able to be free financially and to travel around the world or when I want to. As well as to leave where I want to. I could say more but this is enough.
I am here to earn extra money to help others, travel
I am deaf. I know it sucks right now because i lost my job two weeks ago. Filing the unemployment benefits and other bullshit sucks.
The #1 reason(s) are freedom and financial stablility in life will give me to processing in self love. It’s been very hard during this Pandemic craziness. I am more like a visionary, kind of hands on person. I feel going to work at the warehouse and back home daily feels like a prison of my mind. I feel from times to times to be trapped. I felt i needed to be free somehow. Sure, now i’m free all the time but financially? that’s the problem of keep going on living. Honesty, I’m exhausted inside of my mind and my heart.
I think that is why i want to able to work on climbing the mountain and see the beauty of the world. At this point, “How and where can i find a online work that is passive income? How can i travel and get more money out of it?” it’s the financial that get me nowhere and i’m broke on a little money right now and have Doordash side gig but it’s not enough for the living situation.
So… there’s that reasons of the freedom and financial stability. I hope one day i’ll able to travel and see the beauty of the countries.
I spent over $40K going to college just to earn a degree and end up doing a job that I now loathe going to. It’s monotonous, boring, lonely, low-paying (despite the idea that it wouldn’t be during school), very sales-y, and far too much responsibility for the compensation. This on top of never feeling like I’m getting ahead as well as s terrible commute. I’m not afraid of working hard, I consider myself intelligent, dependable and genuine, but this is not what I had in mind for my life. The more I look online for other work, everything seems to send you back to school for another 4 years and $40K … there has to be an easier way besides grinding out a meaningless existence without getting anywhere for decades. I’m not looking for a “quick-fix” or “get-rich-quick-scheme” or anything like that, but something that delivers purpose and results within a time frame that allows me to enjoy today without too many grey hairs would be nice.
I want to earn money online because I want to bring in some extra cash. My husband doesn’t make a lot of money and I want to be a stay at home mom and make an income. I want flexible hours.
I always have to find new job after every 3/4 years as i finished my project job. And its a painful and full of fear being unemployed after some time. This time due to pandemic of COVID-19, i could not move to Project, hence my all savings gone.Now i decided to make money online
Enough for the routine office works and would like to build a passive income through an online business to have extra money for retirement.
I have always had a dream to make money online and have a flexible schedule. But now making money online with a flexible schedule has become a necessity because my wife has Parkinson’s disease, and her needs have become more time consuming for the both of us.
I want to just have some extra money to start. Keep saving to buy a home with a yard for my toddlers so they’d have a safe place to play. We live in a 3rd floor apartment, there is no yard, and now with COVID, we haven’t been taking them out to places like we used to. That is my main goal to start.
Earning Online means step towards financial stability as well as ability to work while travelling to exotic countries
I believe in FREEDOM & FLEXIBILITY than OFFICE to work with. I donβt want to barter my individuality for a βdesignationβ. ONLINE is a boon here and mostly of the GOODS from both world.
Well, most of the reasons are widely covered and the unexpected event which pulled me here is COVID LOCKDOWN. Before luxury I need to feed on something now!
I think I have products to sell online
q
I’m 60 y/o and would like to build an online business to have extra money for retirement and if I can quit my job earlier.
Hi Niall, I’m 54 and been working since I was 15. My current job is the first job I’ve had where I’m not lifting heavy weights or taking stress home with me at night. The wife and I want to move to the country, but keeping an income is extremely important. If employment isn’t an issue then it won’t matter where we live, or what kind of employment is available.
David
Hi Niall,
For me itβs about finding a new way of life. The 9 to 5 has become unbearable. Iβm so bored. There is no way I can keep doing this for another 20 years. And Iβm lucky that I have a relatively easy job working for a good company and with brilliant people. Working remotely is not an issue for me. My main motivation is to have more free time. Iβve started the process of relocating to Wales. Why Wales? It feels safe and I like green. The plan is to sell my house in England, buy a small place with gorgeous views, be mortgage free and left with a bit of cash in my hand to quit my job and take few months off to work out how to make a living. Iβm looking at generating different sources of income like project management consultancy, getting a Shepherdβs hut for holiday let and maybe resurrect my little French pancakes business for private parties. Not looking for millions, and I donβt want to be stuck on a laptop for too many more hours of my life. So Iβm here to explore potential income from online business without being a slave to my laptop. I came across ebizfacts when looking for Six Figure Mentor reviews, which was very helpful. I understand why I feel hunted relentlessly to join their community- thank you . I have been looking at affiliate programs but they seem too good to be true and I suspect require a lot of work and effort to get it going.
Ok so to summarise why Iβm here: I want to work less. Iβm happy to earn less too. I donβt need to buy stuff but it would be good to travel the world properly at some point.
I really like the info Iβve seen on your website so far. Iβm grateful is available. Thank you. Iβm looking forward to learn more.
Hi Steph, thanks for the kind words, and for sharing your story.
I would agree that most affiliate marketing programs are too good to be true. In my experience, earning a living from affiliate marketing is much more difficult than most of those course creators would have us believe!
Flexibility, to spend more time enjoying life with my loved ones.
want to be debt free and not make someone else money working your tail off
All of the above! I would love to visit Europe again, w/o out time restraints concerning my job.
I want to find a independent source of income to do the things I like.
Howdy Niall,
As a 51 year old in a good steady, but time for wages job, I am yearning for ‘geographical’ and ‘time’ freedom. Those 2 buzz words I learned from the 2 weeks I spent going through another course before I read your research on The 19 Best Affiliate Marketing Courses. In fairness I was getting the vibe of them being mainly self serving in approach but you definitely confirmed that for me, cheers.
I,m now opting for your No 1 choice, Authority Hacker’s TASS but only when I,ve read all you have to say here.
Hey Dermot, thanks for the comment.
TASS is a great course but affiliate marketing is quite difficult to succeed with if you’re new to working online. As you’ll see in this video series, I generally recommend starting with freelancing or a remote job.
Earn additional income while I’m anywhere
Cheers!
Due to recent world events my wifes’ travel franchise has taken a beating. This year would have been her first where she would have made an acceptible wage, unfotunately all the commission earned has been handed back to her customers. Added to this, I had a decent bank built up from matched betting, which has now gone to support the family and household bills. Very slowly customers are booking again, however commission doesn’t come in until a few weeks before they travel…that’s if they are allowed to travel at all. We have taken on a government bounce back loan to hopefully invest and pay the full amount back next year. Making money online is not for nice cars or holidays, it’s to get us back on our feet and give our two daughters pocket money now and then without worrying
Damn, that’s a tough situation, Gary. Sounds like you really got unlucky there with your wife’s business π
I cant be away for six month or more from my wife and kids..thats it
Having just turned 80 yrs, looking for a way to re-build financially.
Background: Having been wiped out financially (through no fault of my own, a former business partner that betrayed trust leading to financial collapse [2006-07] that “The Great Recession” in the US [2007-09] after which age and available opportunities to re-build were scarce to non-existent where I was living at the time] was further complicated by a career-ending injury to my spouse [a cardiac nurse] requiring me to be at home full time to provide care – all seemed to combine into a “perfect storm” of issues to resolve simultaneously at a time when my age, demands on my time, and income-producing opportunity all became barriers to rebuild.
All during that time until only recently, although having searched for “home-based” employment (such “opportunities” are never as represented), I was never aware of “Affiliate Marketing” and although from my research and reading to date clearly reveals it is a “business” that must be approached seriously and with dedication to not only lay the necessary groundwork but also constantly maintained due to competition and constantly evaluating (judgment) by Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc as to the success or failure of one’s effort (such as appearing on the first page in response to a “Search” or page 100 where noone ever goes so your effort fails) so there is more to “Affiliate Marketing” than just putting up a website and sitting back while a fortune magically appears in your mailbox.
So – with all that, Niall Doherty, I’m here to evaluate this “free training”.
Good to have you here, JD. Interested to hear what you think of the training.
Hello Niall,
I’m English (I hope you won’t hold that against me? LOL) aged 63 and am SO jealous of the opportunities that all you ‘youngsters’ have these days! π
I spent 40+ years doing a ‘real’ job as a vehicle mechanic and have precious little to show for it – other than some good memories – so for me making a good wedge online is driven by my desire to do so before the Grim Reaper finds out where I’m living at present! π
I came across your site whilst doing some basic research and was drawn in because of the review you did on WA.
I’m one of the people who signed up to WA for 12 months and although I don’t regret it as such, I feel sure that, after the 12 months is over – and unless there are major updates on the platform – I’ll be moving on and doing my own thing (for better OR for worse!)….
As an ‘old timer’ I feel I’m unlikely to sign up to your courses, as I believe in the old ‘once bitten, twice shy’ adage – nothing personal, just wrong person wrong time is all. π
In closing, may I wish you and your team the very best for the future. NEVER has it been so ‘easy’ for the small man to become successful. Keep on keeping on!
Stay safe and stay well.
Kindest regards
George.
PS – Don’t get TOO excited, but I have signed up for your eBiz Weekly email. π
Hey George,
Thanks for the comment, good to have you here π
That sounds like a smart move. I wouldn’t recommend you sign up for any more courses until you have a better feel for the online business landscape and where you might best fit into it. I’ll have some new content publishing in the coming weeks that should help you with that. All free.
Hi,
I want to learn on how to make money online is to be free from debt, have my own house and retire early and have a quality time with my family. And also I want to help my relatives that are mostly in need because of this pandemic. Thank you very much.
I’m 16 and want to have an independent full time income stream by the time I leave school so I can work on my own projects and travel the world
I have been sifting through all kinds of affiliate marketing courses…. I have successfully been selling real estate in Costa Rica but the country has been closed since March. I am now being forced to seek out other forms of income online. I found your approach to be refreshing and honest so I am looking forward to the information.
I want to be able to achieve financial independence to be able to provide plentifully for my family to live a plentiful life and travel more often and spend more time with my daughter who lives in another city.
I want to make extra money and be able to move out of the city and continue to work in the country without having to worry about finding a full time job first. I also want financial freedom.
Hello I want to explore the sweet and free life potentials that are in the online bussiness world while earning a living and saving time for other day to day activities.
The pandemic is the reason why I was made to think about what I want to do in the future … at this moment the internet is an opportunity for me
Financial independence
Also to marry my girlfriend
To have time with my wife and children.
To become financially secure.
To buy my dream home.
To vacation where I want, when I want.
After 15 years I just have to…
I want to be debt free and NOT rely on the Pension at all
Thanks for the welcome
I would like to:
1. Get out debt
2. Have Financial freedom
3. Help people get out of poverty
I’m looking to supplement my retirement income…maybe be able to cruise again once in a while.
Hello Niall,
First of all, thank you for the warm welcome! I’m happy I found your website and signed up for your weekly business letter. The main reason I want to work online with my own business is the flexibility and lifestyle advantages of having an online business. I’m TIRED of being a traditional employee and the tradeoffs in time, stress and commuting, and fixed wages. I’m tired of devoting so much of my energy, passion and talent towards someone’ ELSE’S enterprise and not receiving credit for it. I also feel the traditional 9-5 Industrial Revolution model is biting the dust as we are facing more and more automation, the covid pandemic has hastened this process I believe, and also we must find new ways to adapt to this rapidly changing digital revolution. At almost 60 years of age, I realise the need to be relevant in a rapidly changing digital world and educate myself. So the bottom line for me is I would like to get out of the traditional employee time for money ratrace and lead a more fulfilling work lifestyle that can allow me to travel anywhere I want and have a richer lifestyle and more freedom. Thank you :).
I’ve got two answers/thoughts:
1. I want to have more flexibility to be open to life’s adventures. If I want to go camping for a few days, or go on a road trip, or just go out hiking one afternoon, I have the flexibility to do that.
2. I want to provide real value to others that is also in alignment with my own personal goals and impact that I want to make on the world.
Hi Niall,
I was looking into this initially to help pay some debt but as I have researched deeper, I feel a buzz (and butterflies!) at the potential of having the freedom to be in control of my working life and to further challenge myself.
i want to survive more than week to week.
My reason is to have sufficient time for myself and clear my small debt and live on my own time table.
Full time mother looking for flexibility job in that way i can take care of my family. Hassle free and managing my own time.
I need flexibility at the same time, i have time for my family. No hassle waking up in the morning preparing to go to work. Plus, financial freedom of not too dependent to my husband.
I would like to start making money online because Iβm sick of being broke and having nothing I want to work less and earn more I want to do this
Hello everyone! My main motivation is flexibility. I want to have more control over what I do and when. I also want to work at something more congruent to me and my interests. Lastly I want to have more time for family and hobbies!
Hello Caroline,
Your comment totally resonates with me. I also want more flexibility and more time well spent on pursuing passions and interests while building a meaningful business. Wishing you the best!
Hey! My reasons for diving into this ‘making money online’ world are the following; I do not want my partner and I to solely rely on his income anymore ( his income is good but it would be better if we have more income streams, to take the pressure off him) plus I personally do not want to depend on his income anymore, if something happens to him, I would be in trouble. And, I just want to utilise my talents again ( it’s been a long time that I used them for generating an income) , develop new skill, grow etc. And last but not least, it would be so great when (not if π ) I would become financial really successful so I could build a new amazing shelter for the shelter where I volunteer now, which is a really sad place for the dogs and cats living there now (I already moved to the sunny south of Europe and I can choose what to do when I want to, mas o menos π )
I want time, location and financial freedom! Lost my job due to Covid19 and need to find a solution to work from home and earn a minimum of $10,000 a week to meet expenses. I have the motivation to succeed.
Hi Niall and people around the world. The reason why I want to earn money online is to be independent of the place where I am working and also. All my life I was working for somebody and I get to the point, where I start to think about how it would be if I would be the boss of my own life and time, is there anything that I can offer to this world? Whats is my skills and abilities? and many many questions. And this is what I am doing here, getting out from my comfort zone, facing my own fear if I would be successful and trying to find my potential π Easy yeah?!:D Let’s crack on your course and figure it out:)
Hello Niki,
I can totally relate to your post as these are the reasons that are propelling me into this challenge, including challenging my comfort zone and pushing myself to go beyond that. Wishing you the best in your journey!
I Want to earn online in order to pay my school fees
I am from India, recently here in Prague for my studies purpose. it’s difficult to get a job here for my living so I am looking for a job online so that I can earn some money and help myself here in this city without my parent’s help.
My number 1 reason for wanting to start earning online is to make pocket money. I am a university student and my bursary does not cover personal allowance. I struggle throughout the month and that means having to depend on my dad who is a sole breadwinner at home. Earning online would mean being able to fend for myself so that I reduce the load off his shoulders.
I’m 52 and I feel like my life is over, Life seems hopeless. I go to work at a dingy hot warehouse. I’m making someone else dreams come true, but never mine.
Definitely not over, Stephen. Ray Kroc was your age when he started McDonalds.
Hey Niall,
I want to start earning online so I donβt have to leave my house and earn an income. I never thought it would be possible for someone like me.
Hi Niall – I would like to start earning online to firstly create a 2nd stream of income. I would like have the opportunity to grow it and be able to work for myself, allowing me to work and travel where I want.
Thanks
Conor
I want to pay for a website that will generate traffic
Hi Niall
I started an online business a couple of years ago but found that the e-commerce space was not for want the freedom to stay home with my kids and the income my job already provided.
Thanks
The #1 reason would be my family. After since I have stayed home cause of Covid-19. I get to spend a lot of time with them and I am happy. I love the feeling of not having to worry about work and financial hardship. I want to show my kids that there is more to life than just having a 9 – 5 job. I want to show them hard work pays off on the long run.
Main motivations:
1. Extra income to get rid of some very expensive debt.
2. Eventually… expend more time with my children and leave all the politic games and drama at the office
Thanks for sharing your experience.
To Live Life on my own Terms.
To be with my Family and not have to go into work, to work for someone else.
I want to put all my energy and sweat into something that is mine!
We will pay off our mortgage, alleviate the suffering of others, make improvements to our property, volunteer in the community, vacation with family and friends, tend to our health, hire people to do take care of the maintenance of our property, and teach others how to do what we do.
We want to build a legitimate, respectable, honest online business that leverages our time, that consistently generates an abundant income no matter where we are and no matter what the macro and micro economy is doing.
Hi,
I have been working for a 8-4 job in my country for the past 23 years. when I look at what I have achieved, I have nothing to show for. I’d like to start go around the world and see different places. The last thing would be I don’t want to have any worries about money as I currently do. These would be someone of the reasons I want to start an online business.
Financial freedom, to earn my own income. Not being dependent on Government, or an employer.
I am now 65 years old, having perfect physical, mental and spiritual tools to live a healthy, fit, and long life. Ready for the 2nd inning of my life, where I want to achieve, first thing first, financial freedom. I am not left with much money and would like to start earning money online, with little investment, and as early as possible. but of course in reasonable practical time.
I look forward to a fruitful association with you.
Thanks & regards
Vinod
Looking forward to financial freedom, the first priority, to achieve it as early as possible in reasonable practical time.
I want to earn money to pay my debts
Lost everything I have, even joined an affiliate course and seems like that is out of my league monetary wise didn’t know about the hefty behind the curtain surprise costs until the ‘suprise but wait there is more’ call. Anyway, need to do it to feed my family on my terms!
I need to have a change in my life. Would not want to be the same in 2, 3, 5 and 10 years time. Definitely I want to be financially well off and money will not be a worry at all. Not forgetting about freedom and control of my own time.
Flexibility for me n kids. Access to companies outside Ireland.
Hi Niall,
I would like to answer the question above what is my #1 reason to earn online, I can work wherever I want to work… there are also many other reasons what I will discuss later.
Nice!
My reason to earn online is to be financially free, do the things I want to do, buy the stuffs I want to buy… To live life!!
I am a former banker who lost my job due to restructuring and find it challenging to secure a good permanent job. I am therefore now interested in earning a comfortable living working online and creating my own path towards a rewarding future.
Congratulations Niall!
You are one of few who have actually lived. Most people live their lives as though they will live forever, not realizing the cloak of death is tightening it’s grips. There is NO time to ponder and procrastinate.
I quit my job 6 years ago and pursued a business (drink and snack vending) in which I was working part-time while working a full-time job. Today I still work the vending business, but the covid 19 pandemic has taken a toll on my business. It is now producing at about 30% capacity.
The good news is, I have enough time to focus on my online ventures. Thanks to inspirational people like yourself, I know I can do it.
To your success!
P.S. Keep traveling. It builds character. π
With everything in the world and how things and gone in my life recently I need something where I can control my financial future.
I want to earn money online to supplement my pension, as Iβm retired. If I earn any money I will travel certainly, but retirement gives me too much spare time and I want to use it doing something I enjoy – making money!
I am retired limited pension and getting nothing from savings so need to plan to earn extra money.
After almost 30 years “in the field”, I need something rewarding. Something that allows me to use my time to benefit my family without having to abandon them to do it. I’ve seen the world outside and want to show that to my children. I cannot allow them to live the life I’ve lived…
I just want to be myself.
I could think of so many reasons why I want this, but that has to be the root of it all.
I’m tired of working for someone else, having to get up at specific hours and being tethered to a single location. I want the flexible time to be whoever I want to be, work when I want to work and have no one else to answer to but myself. Bonus is that I can see my daughter whenever I want.
I desire to have time freedom, location freedom and financial freedom to enable me to spend time with my family and friends in my own terms
Hiya bud,
I just want to show my wife and kids the world and all the lovely cultures it has to offer. Gotta be more to life than 9-5 for another 30 years in a job that doesnβt make you feel like youβve really accomplished anything worthwhile.
I want to earn on line as Iβm middle age and I want to make my life easier by not doing hard physical work anymore , want some quality time as I love tech and spending time on my computer so why not make this my living
I want to start earning online so that I have more time for my girlfriend, and things I love to do. I want to be able to do those things without stressing about getting up in the morning to head back to work for another 8 hours.
I want to achieve financial freedom so that I can
1. Travel the world
2. spend more time with my family
3. Give to causes I believe in.
If I am able to earn a lot online then I am able to stay at home meanwhile looking after my children also be financially independent and freedom to divorce my current husband. ! This is huge impact for my life. I can only move forward and put the vision on my future instead of my past… \^0^/ I need FREEDOM in overall.
I’d like to be able to help my family while living a life in which I have control of my schedule.
I’m looking for ways to make myself productive during this pandemic since we’re just home and I really want to start earning to help my mom. I’m saving up for materials I’ll need once online classes start.
Hi Niall, I’m Cathy. I am 41 years old and have three children. Right now, I’m staying at home because our company stopped us from working. I’m newbies to online activities but I’m willing and love to learn. I used to do something, so I thought about studying online opportunity that I might have a future in this industry. I hope I will find whatever I am looking for. Thank you.
I am retired and living in Thailand. I have a small job pension and am looking at ways to supplement that pension so that I can live stress free.
First to work–further my knowledge with relevant knowledge & earn money online at ease and comfort while having the luxury of being able to share facts about what I learned.
(Having the ability to do so from anywhere in the world.)
Second to travel to places I have always wanted to go, without worry of expenses.
Third to make people happily jealous!
Niall, I find your posts and videos humorous and truth driven. My hats are off to you (well, one at a time that is) for all the good work you’re doing. I haven’t joined yet. Am still going through all your videos. You might want to consider making a video for those who recently were released from being incarcerated; those looking to get ahead and make a living for themselves so they too can provide for their loved ones. Everyone needs forgiveness, and I’m one of them. Again, thanks so much for all you’ve done for all your followers. God Bless…

Hi Neil, I would like to earn enough money to buy the products to build my own small Senior’s bungalow.
Hi Nigel john bolton here from Sunderland ne UK.
I’m just a old kitchen fitter age 62 and would u believe still grafting hard. To cut to chase it’s time for easy work to finish up working life. I’ve had my fingers burnt a few yrs back and lost a considerable amount of money durring a property mentor route I took so to be blunt I’m up on most scams now and for my research. Speak soon John.
Hey Neil.
Great first Vid. My number reason for wishing to have an online business is so I am not location dependant. I have been travelling for the last 10 months, 9 months volunteer work in England, Scotland, Italy and here in Israel where I am stranded. I have enough funds to last several years, though at some point I will need an income to continue to travel so like you, I can continue to post on Facebook my amazing journey to inspire people, er I mean make them jealous π
I would like to work online where corruption wont affect my work and also get money through freelance, am tired of being torn between, what i am qualified to do and how i can make a good worker.
Hi,
I’m a graphic designer ready to work and earn some pocket monies.
please any help?
I made this series to help you, Nick. Go through all the videos and you’ll get some ideas.
I am 55 retired now and after having worked for 25 years I am again at zero level as I spent all earning in paying monthly Bills…Now I want to work from home, earn lots of money for my family by learning to earn online.
I am fed up with having to work for and obey to unprofessional and not serious people. I feel I wasted too many energies in the years, at their command. I finally cane to feel I can do much better with my brains other than putting them on standby in order to comply with uninteresting jobs that are even poorly taken forward. I have to emancipate myself from mediocrity.
I want to be on full control of my time and space getting to continuously invest in knowledge.
I want to deliver value to as much people as I can.
hello. I am Moni, a student trying to earn pocket money and get extra new experiences that would be beneficial for future assistance in job. I have been writing and have interests in trying to share this and make use of it. Since the global pandemic, I’ve decided to search for online paying jobs I can get from writing but currently can’t get any particular result.
I need help.
To answer your question: I have many reasons, to regain my freedom an self identity – escape my toxic marriage. I’d love to be able to earn a living at my age an beyond without any more hard labor, even if my body goes down. I’d like to also pay off the mortgage etc. An buy some really nice timberland to keep wild with my hand built hermit cabin in the middle. I just bought my 1st ever laptop an am trying to learn to use it. I see potential in affiliate marketing. Bought a course an ended up getting a refund. They just wanted to clean me out an have me doing endless courses for a lot of money each. Maybe I can learn from your courses here an have a bit more clarity. Thanks
Hi Niall
I need an income from affiliate marketing!
To create it myself will give me great satisfaction. To have control over how I do it is my aim so I can do a happy dance when I succeed. (I won’t celebrate by eating porridge).
Thanks for your help Niall.
My reasons for wanting to make a living online are these
1. I have lost my job due to Covid 19 and can’t afford to live on benefits
2. I have health issues so need a flexible job that fits in when I am not feeling my best
3. I am coming up to retirement so I don’t want to have to find another job when all this is over
4. On the topic of retirement, I would like to make some descent money now to help with making my life a little more tolerable when I do retire, like being able to travel etc
5. I quite like being at home now, so I have no intention of going back to work …. unless this doesn’t work of course
Hi Niall,
My reason is to be able to spend more time with my family and also to learn something new….to adapt and create a more secure financial future. Ok, that might be more than 1 reason.
I need an income, lost all over an illness.
Retired and bored.
Hi Niall!
I love to travel so my #1 reason is to be able to run my business from wherever I am in the world.
Let’s do this. π
I want to learn so I can earn and help other people as well.
Ultimately I am bored i would like to explore and learn to hopefully see if I can succeed and to prosper from my ventures, a few quid would be a bonus but to be part of something with like minded people would be most rewarding, ohh and hopefully do a bit of travelling.
Hi Niall,
It’s a strange question. The reason I want to learn this stuff is that I don’t know how to do it yet. It’s a no brainer. World is changing fast and we have to change with it or get left behind. I guess it boils down to having to acquire another skill to secure a livelihood in the event change tries to eliminate one’s ability to do so.
Niall,
1. Pay of my bank loans more fast.
2. Continue my vocal studies with a teacher (via Skype).
Ronald
Hi Niall. You catch me trying to find out if SFM is a scam or not. I will not join them so
donΒ΄t worry. Right now I listen to wonderful music (Music of Cathedrals and Forgotten Temples).
OK back to the course…
Hi Niall,
My life is full and interesting π and I need to grow and be more. My primary motivation is to LEARN and if I get to earn and have fun at the same time that would be a great plenty.
I am attempting to do my due diligence and find out for myself to make my ow informed choice, however there is SO MUCH!!! so I am doing the things that resonate for me and seeing what happens from there.
My number 1 reason for earning a living online is that I want to make money for myself and not earn it for someone else.
I’m 51 years old and uncertain about my retirement. I wasted most of my early years working unfulfilling dead-end warehouse and retail jobs. I just recently (about 6 months ago) started putting money into an IRA and investing. I’ve been thinking about ways to rapidly increase the size of my IRA. Also, I’ve always been interested in working from home.
Hey Niall
I am Hamid from the indian subcontinent which is not the richest part of the world and the best part is I am just 16 and attending high school in the Middle eastern country of Oman, which…um is a very great place to live in…but since we are not back home as in India so there is always a fear of job security even though i have enjoyed my life as a member of a fairly well to do middle class Indian family…….and i am the eldest in my family…eldest to 3 other siblings…so i would really like to earn online, help other people earn online too…i just want to make a change in this world….be my own boss…..and lead a very good life in all…
Also Niall i really look up to you and your work and the kind of in depth and honest reviews that you write…thanks a lot for that though…..really hope to get in touch with you too
Talkkkkkk to you soon
Hi Niall
I just want to do something interesting and be my own boss again. I was a self employed litho printer for 22 years and then digial print came in – bang went my business – heyho. Now, I really do work in a job I hate (no lie, not hype) and it’s my aim to get back to doing something I want to do instead of something I have to do. I was thinking of joining Wealthy Affiliate, then saw your review – thanks for the heads up! I was none too sure anyway, so thanks again.
Regards
George Wilkins
I was planning on retiring in two years from a profession that I have loved but with the market tanking, my planned retirement is as well. My job is very risky in these times could be shut down again at any time once we start opening up in a little over a week. Time to create wealth for myself and not depend on anyone else! I’m not looking to get massively wealthy, just want enough to meet my needs and desires without being at the whim of anyone else, and the satisfaction of knowing that I did it on my own.
Hi, I started this journey to start having more control in my life. If I control my working hours and income, I have security. I need that.
I want to leave the 9-5 rat race and start living life on my terms. That way I will be able to live a more fulfilled life and take better care of my family.
I do not have job at the moment, been difficult to get a job. My main reason is to help myself and my family have a better life.
Have a side income to be able to better life
I’m disabled and got totally screwed over regarding disability. Suffering from guilt from having to rely on hubby for single income. Then with the stock market tanking, that put a bite on us, so yeah, need some extra cash in a job I can work at when I’m too weak to walk.
Well…Iβm here because I want to finally LIVE MY LIFE!!!
To live to work not work to live.
Survival. My money supply is from social security benefits which will only last as long as the gov’t allows. Then what?
Why do I want to work online?
I want autonomy, fast growing wealth, and the ability to create.
Iβm sick of spending 12 hours every working day away from home, for a wage that isnβt that great anyway.
To return to Costa Rica.
I want to be with my family. and help financially family
Hey Niall,
Amazing website, clear with a pretty incredible intro video of your trips. My online course that I am working on is about cancer and ”What I’ve learned from cancer” after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2018. My main motivation is to make a difference through my experience by an online course(early stages)website(also early stages of development) and being an international motivational speaker so I need to be time flexible.
I need to broaden my income perspective. The global pandemic has brought into sharp focus how completely dependent I (and most people) are one just one income source and so I’ve decided that I need a wider portfolio of income sources to hedge against the chance of being caught short when (rather than if) something like this happens again.
Major wakeup, wasn’t it. I mean we had a decent stock portfolio, but that tanked. We bought 5 acres for homesteading, but setup is expensive. And the work involved! Oh well, lesson learned.
My life is fulfilled by living in Central America for 3 years. I have a book to offer. I am not the consummate tourist. Times change; shit happens; our livelihood must grow. I am worn by the quality of posts that go viral on social media. At least they stuck their necks out!
I want to build dome homes where people will be safe from the drastic changes in weather that may be coming in the next few years. I want my own dome home so I can live with no mold, mildew, electronic safe and fireproof environment so I can sleep securely at night with no excess radiation. I also want to build homes to save people’s existing homes they already know will not last through a hurricane, fire or tornano. There are ways to do that. I must be financially stable to do this and want to be ready to do this now, rather than no help people to be safe and secure in their own homes. Times a awasting. Social security checks, stock markets do not crack it for me. Thanks. Wonder Ann founder of Wonder Dome Homes for those that want to save their families and friends.
Not to ever have a boss again!!!
To spend more time at home or elsewhere if I would like to.
Thank you Niall I am inspired by you. My no.1 reason why i sign up here or why i want to start earning online because i want to have own income to help my parents financially even im still studying and also to pay for my studies and to explore my creativity and talents and to start boost my confedence.
I want to do smth relatively innovative. Have more time to do the things I want, more money also.
Thank you Niall. I want to grow a business online,to have some passive income, So I too can live exploring my Creativity and Talents and living to my Full Potential .Not being bound by 9-5 ,Pray when I want to , travel when I want too ,Earn so that I can take care of my family and loved ones and secure pension. I want the same as we all want β¦financial freedom β¦ and of course to help others in the future β¦. I wish You That your cup continues to flow and so that we can fill more cups.
There are a lot of ways on making money online whether it is by blogging, affiliate marketing, article writing, freelancing or whatever it is, there is only one thing you must bear in mind. You must provide value to your potential client or audience. If you are able to provide your audience needs or giving solution to the problem of your clients, you will surely make money.
My number one reason for being here is to learn everything I can about earning a great living online to get out of my lawn care business and provide an excellent life for me and my family. I’m a writer and a creator but I don’t have the energy after physical work all day to produce books and poetry at the level I desire. I write on Medium.com but the income from that is sparse. Change and progress are my focus. My reason is to take action now to earn the great online income which will give me time for a new life.
Thank you Niall. I want to work honestly online, and possibly in the future,to have some passive income. i’m a professional photographer and i’m selling my photos at shutterstock so far, but there was no great success there for me yet, even though i already have 3000 photos there…. Well I also do not have a guaranteed pension. I want to the same as we all want …financial freedom … and of course to help others in the future …. i wish You all the best
Hi Klemen, thanks for the comment.
For selling stock photos, this article might be of interest to you: The Uncomfortable Truth About Travel Photography
I want to retire early, to spend time with grandkids, and buy a little farm someplace and grow vegetables.
For living the adventure Niall…
Hello Niall
I have to work from home and I need a supplement to my pension.
Niall, the reason I want to do what most people call living the dream! It is for a few reasons. I wanted to always have financial abundance and to live with freedom by doing the things I love. While also being able to travel the world and have that prosperity. I am a man of many skills and have been doing what you have for years. But I always seem to end up in the same rut every time. They always seemed to fail and couldn’t find that right route. But coming by and seeing some of your work and you seem very genuine compared to all the other people that I have learned from. You don’t have a big head or make it look easy as some other people do. I hope to hear from you and maybe get me back into doing this to where I can and you can succeed in the end.
I want to begin a journey to learn new methods, new ideas to earn a living, that does not require my presence at work which then defines my ultimate happiness. I am tired of trading my time on a clock, for a monthly paycheck that makes my boss richer and richer.
Because I’d love to earning online without cheating and I thought that it will also help me to start my oeln business
Making money online is a new platform that i would devote my life in transforming my old me to a brand new version of myself make fully use of digital-age tools that i would always only dreaming of back then. No boundaries they say. I just wanna live a life that outsource a passively crazy resources. Thank you for remind myself.
Definitely for me it’s the flex-schedule!
Hi there,
I want a starting client to work with to make cash and sustainable career as a means to create my own business where I can provide for my family needs and stay happy. The video is areal move towards life decision
I’m tired of busting my ass in retail only to answer to less than stellar management. Also tired of scheduling and want to set my own hours.
I want my financial independence to start enjoying life and boosting the development of my human potential (mostly: the mental)
I’m 25 years old: I have no living accomplishments
work between 9 and 12 hours a day.
I feel in my heart as a waste of the gift of = LIFE. I really feel pain (emotional) for this, as I write my eyes become water.
BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
my conscience opened up and I understand that the most valuable thing on this physical plane is: time, knowledge and health.
I’ll make it! I will be reading-learning and applying your guide, niall.
Thank you, greetings from Colombia
I am surely excited to start it enjoy all of the perks you mentioned in the video. I love travelling, and doing some interesting work at the same time. This only “What if” intrigues me to follow this course. π
I am curious to see if I could make money online. I gave all I had to employers who only used and abused my skills. I’m tired of being the last person picked on a team. I want more than that.
Hi Niall, I’ve been a fan for years. I have a small retirement income and live in Mexico. Now I have some money to invest in (dividend) stocks for my family, but I don’t want to deplete my savings. So am thinking of motivating my lazy, not very ambitious, but creative and talented self to earn some money.
I want so many of the things you mentioned: being a digital nomad is a long-life dream, not being dependant on my boss, not being stuck in traffic on my way to work, and work on my own terms and schedule. There are so many things I want to do in my spare time
I’m looking to have more control over my career by being flexible enough to explore my career interests further as well as have multiple sources of income to allow me to travel and do all sorts of things that interest me.
Need to work and want to travel and suit myself more.
Hi,
I hate to travel a long distance to my 9-5 job and rather travel to someplace I like every month just like you.
Thank,
Harsha
Hi,
I was interested in cargo ship travel and as an old retired guy who is learning everyday, I am interested in how a person, you, are so comfortable in your own skin and roll with the waves life sends us.
I found your presentation very effective in teaching me what I wanted to know.
Thank you,
Alvin
PS I taught on line for 14 years, one of the first. When I retired I kept my clam phone. Hey, I live on an island.
Thanks for the comment, Alvin!
Just practice, I guess. I was very shy growing up, and purposefully put myself in situations that would push me out of my comfort zone. That helped me a lot.
I want a flexible schedule.
Thank you.
Its good to be doing online business.
Typing this with my left hand as cat is asleep on my arm.
Just bought my ticket to Malaysia. will be moving there next July to be based in s.e.a.
Turned 40 and can no longer ignore the need to spend the next 40 years based nearish Singapore, creating supportive online communities and making money by helping people be happier.
I want freedom and good money. I have a great desire to travel the world which I am unable to do because I am stuck in a boring office job.
Actually my motiviation is a mixture of what you talked about in that video – thanks for the reminders and the summary! π But I’d say #1 is to live my own schedule!
I want to be able to determine my own schedule and earn money to support my family and add to my retirement funds.
I would like to earn money and then move abroad and get money to run my own business
I would like to start making money online so that I can make my life better economically
Hi l will follow this course until l finish , because l want to work online right away …
I want to work online to pay for my studies and support my family, I also want to improve my language proficiency.
I wants to earn money to support my family,I would love to do as an Freelancer.Thank you.
I need a spend time with my baby and wanna do some useful things for my free time.
I want spend my free time by doing something useful instead of wasting it.
I wants to earn money to support my family…..I would love to do as an Freelancer.
To spend my spare time doing something useful instead of wasting it.
Not having to comply with set working hours away from home
Traveling, seeing the world and flexible working hours is my main motivation to switch to a freelance job. After working for different companies my whole life, I quit my last job a few months ago and since then I am looking for freelance opportunities to be able to enjoy some more freedom.
To work from home
Take care of my parents while I can still do what I love
I want more control over my time and money.
Job security is a thing of the past. You can be a good worker and still get downsized. It’s been a year since I was downsized. It’s time to be my own boss, which is something I’ve always wanted.
A life hiccup leaves me seeking ways to live life on my terms while making money… still defining ” my terms”, but it isnt just survival and rebounding!
Travel, scalability and freedom from the rat race!
To have financial freedom to travel the world’s exotic locations.
To work anywhere i want a mobile office.
I am a recently separated mother of an 11 year old living in Iowa City, Iowa. I have been freelancing since 2005 and started working part-time when my son was born. I used to work as a writer and editor in educational publishing, but I wanted out of that and began doing editorial work for other kinds of clients. Now that I need to work full time again, I want to diversify my income, build a stronger client base, and add some new marketable skills. I need to make more money. Once my son goes to college, I want to be free to travel while I continue working.
Timely for me who needs to start my online business!
I want freedom and be my own Boss.Thats why this
I want to be in control of how much I earn, and want the time freedom to do what is important to me, when I want to do it.
One may anything except boring life…this really inspires me
Happy New Year Niall and really Happy to see a worthy video in this time of scripted bombarding of social media and online content :-).
I am 27 years old and I have worked 3.5 years in big corporate houses and during my this whole journey I have felt that rather than following path of others and wasting your life in 9 to 5 job aka rat race all I want to create my own path, write down my own story, whether successful or unsuccessful, but mine. But being the only child of my parents I have certain responsibility towards them which requires a way where I can have certain income to support them and also find out my way.
Happy to hear back from you.
I want to learn how to become more online savy, and maybe add the 1:1 and group teaching I do to online teaching. Work my own flexible hours.
Working online will provide me with more freedom and allow me to increase my earning potential. The present 9-5 to the environment does not suit me and I would prefer to be my own boss.
I want to be a boss on my own, to choose my working hours and I love to travel.
I earn money while taking care of my children and studying. I am 34 years old a mother of 3 and a BSIT student.
I really want to work online from home on my own schedule as I have spent the past 30 years working in some cases over 100 hours per week practically killing myself in the rat race yet never getting ahead always working for someone else and seeing them get rich while I barely can make ends meet.
I want freedom to spend time with my children and my family and support them and their needs without always being away from home and not being able to support them
That feeling of dread that sets on on Sunday night when I realize I have to go back in the morning.
9-5 working hours
Not enough salary
Hate being told what to do and what is not
Forever traffic.
It all SUCKS!
Flexible schedule. Im sick of working hard for dickheads and not getting so much as a thank you
Travel time from my place to workplace is around 2 to 3 hours and I want more time for my family.
I hate having to ask another man for time off.
I hate being told what to do.
I hate doing anything I’m not emotionally invested in.
I hate that I’m setting such a poor example for my son.
I hate that I’m a wage slave.
I hate that I’m terrified to leave.
am so tired with my daily schedule
Iβm an indie filmmaker living on an island in the Pacific Northwest and think hadding web design to my skill set will boost my relevance.
Want to reduce commute time and work life balance.
I am a single mum and I need enough time with my kid. I believe that working at home will give me that freedom.
The reasons keep growing for me as to why I want to start earning online. The original reason for me I have a medical condition that makes it hard for me to work in an office environment. I would also like the freedom to work when ever I want to work and not someone else’s schedule that tells me when I have to work. I’ve also just started to be interested in moving to and living in Galway, Ireland to be close to my family and get to know my families history better then from what I can learn online from searching.
want to be able to travel constantly
I’m having a gap year and this seems like the best way to earn some money doing something I’m good at, but unfortunatelly I have no experience so it would be awsome to learn more about how this all works
As a mid 20 year old i would love to be able to make enough money and see all the world has to offer. later in life having the ability to settle and work wherever i want. city life is sluggish and i dont feel i resonate well with the 9-5 rushing, high rent, loose change left over after monthly expenses paid. the countryside is where i feel at home, but finding work there is difficult. hoping this will open doors for me.
To make money while setting my own hours.
I want to make money.
Hi Niel,
I am Nikhil and I am just a fresher. Actually I have no idea about my perfect career ,then to I am trying best to build it and for this I need to have some financial support ,and try not to involve that pressure on my father and myself earn it . If try to work part time by visiting some office my college hours comes in between which are not constant .So I have choose for this online earning.
My main motivation will be getting out of the rat race and convert the time I spend commuting into family time, looking after myself by keeping fit and pursuing my outdoors hobbies.
I donβt want to work someone elseβs schedule and live by someone elseβs rules. I want to make my own schedule and rules.
the reason why i want to earn money online because i need extra income to support my daily needs and i want to work with my own time..
56 years old, live in N.Ireland ( weatherwise,enough said) Would love to spend winters in a sunnier climate.
Fexible hours and work from anywhere. I have plans to travel for few years, this would provide me perfect way to work.
motivate myself to work in my own comfortabilities , save money and travel.
Looking for a new line of work that allows for flexibility and learning
To be financially independent and travel when I feel like it…
FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Living in a rural location means that any job that pays well eats up several hours a day in drive time. By working online it allows me to work from home and be available to my family. I love the ability to choose my projects, my work hours, and challenges. I love to learn and self-teach whatever it is I need to know to excel on the project. Being able to work at home is a blessing!
Hi Niall – I want to start this career because I’m 68, not able to retire easily, and I love the world and all that’s in it. Well, most of it. I want to bust out of my life here and share it with folks. I do live in a beautiful place, I’ve got to tell you that. It’s the northern coast of California and the beauty doesn’t quit. But there’s so much more! And I’m basically tired of rolling out of bed here on the lovely north coast and not earning enough money. So I’m ready to travel. I want to git out of town and make enough money to retire.
Hi Niall,
I have recently retired and am looking to develop new skills. Also i feel I need something productive to do at a time and place that suits me. It is also about exploring new opportunities that might exist for people who live in remote rural areas.
I love the freedom. I can be with family and travel when I want to.
I really want to earn an income to complete my studies also so can go places get a new car swell
I just bought a hut in the sea and I hate the commute to the town and back
I recently started watching and following your post and videos. Thank you.
I have wanted to become more independent and flexible with my time and life for a long time. But have battled to make significant progress. In large it’s because I haven’t commited the energy to it.
I don’t have family commitments so there really is no reason for me not to be location independent and start working for myself.
I would love to travel more and be able to move and live in more places.
Family one of the most important thing one most look after. Without financial one lives with stress and fear. Will be helpful if one can break that
Hi Niall.
The reason I want to do this is because I love to explore new things and I want to create more opportunities for myself.
I’m young and willingredients to explore in order to secure a great future.
As a young mother I want to be able to be hands in with my daughter and not miss out on any developmental stages. Creating an income online allows you to work from home or remotely and therefore will enable me to provide for my family as well as build a stronger bond with my daughter. It will enable me to not miss out on living because I’m too busy trying to make a living.
Hi Niall,
I’d love to work online so that I could push the boundaries to what I percieve as attainable. I think travelling would broaden my horizons and give me clarity and courage to dream big !
Bryan
I’m unemployed and helping my parents around the house.
It would be nice to earn money online to buy things for my parents and also things for me.
Hi Niall,
I am fond of travelling and in order to do that is to have save a lot of money by doing the daily office work but still on budget type of travel. π Don’t get me wrong I don’t intend to have luxurious travel. I just love to experience the culture and mingle with people. But I have limited time/ flexibility to experience it since office jobs gives me a month off once every year. I want to travel with no time frame to chase to. I want to help others as well. In fact I made a blog just to keep my travel memories.
With your lessons I am hoping to improve my writing skills for my blog. π
Thank you
Tired of working 2 jobs to make ends meet.
Flexibility is the biggest thing. I don’t enjoy having to go to work to do a job I don’t like. I would also love to travel often
Stuck in a job that is stifling me – at a desk, same hours every day, same clothes, bored out of my mind! I want freedom to do what I love and be passionate about what I do, life is too short.
I like to travel to eu
I am still a student but I have great aspirations and I have no interest in being in a job that teaches me nothing and every time I have to go to work I am irritated and bored because I don’t like my job. I also just want to get started on opening my own business whether online or on other expects. One of the main reasons right now that I am interested in starting an online business is because I would like to start finding other areas in business that I am interested.
Hello just to tired to work on contracts. That don’t pay and really need extra money so that I can be able to give more to my mum. The freedom of living with no financial worries
I want to spend more time with my family and study further.
My motivation is being able to work anywhere in the world and my own time.and earning some extra cash
I’m employed but what I get is just peanuts, also I would like to have more freedom for me and my family.
I would like to provide for my mom and also travel.. I love learning new ways on how to make money
Am interested in earning online because I want a extra income,
Edwin South Africa
Travel,travel, travel… Away from here (Ireland) where i am 3 years trying so many jobs, losing my time, losing my mind and vibe and all… It is time for a change,i need a big change as far as possible… Kinda the answer would be #1 reason: travel and run away..:)
Already earning a bit as a nomad, but not online. Mostly occasional contract projects in person to supplement retirement income. Looking to convert to more of an online presence to have more flexibility to travel when, where, and how long I want in order to make the most of my retirement. Not nearly ready to retire to sit on the porch and watch the world pass by and not at all interested in a basic social cycle of coffee shops and shopping malls.
To earn a decent income and be able to afford a place to stay..
Hi I would like to know more. Thank you.
To be able to travel and work from anywhere in the world π Also take a nap in the middle of the day π
Haha, gotta love the siestas!
For me just finishing high school, I want to create a life of adventure for myself and my family and work on my own terms ,The thought of Designing my Life the way i want it to be is the greatest ever and living my best life possible financillau secure ,motivates me.
I quit my job because I no longer had the ability to be alive. I want to live.. be alive. Taking time off was a huge issue at our company and I could take it any longer.
Am want to stop living from month to month and start enjoying time with my kids and husband
I need to redesign my life completely and I want to have the means to control the future I envision for myself and for my family and also in the long term, for my community. The flexibility to set my own hours – yes. The opportunity to travel and experience the places that inspire me – definitely. To take full accountability for the goals I have set for my future and not ever have to say “I couldn’t achieve that because…”
I am at a crossroads in my life – I am only 27 years old but all the pressures of living up to everyone’s expectations but my own is already beginning to eat away at me because I know that I am worth so much more than my circumstances. It’s time for me to take a leap, even if I fall. I want it all for all of the reasons in this video.
I need extra money for studies and I would also like to travel the world.
I would love to earn a living since am unemployed at the moment
Freedom! Flexibility! Do what i want, when i want and where i want while enjoying myself and earning a living
I am a recent graduate staying in a foreign country. Language barrier is my biggest challenge since I just moved here. So it’s not easy for me to get a job I have trained for. So I can focus on my other dream which is travelling to different places and earn a living online with flexible timetable.
My biggest motivation is my family. I value my time with my wife and kids and being stuck in the office for hours on end is counter productive for me. I would like to be at a place where I can live my life at my own pace which creates ample time for my family and to take them forward financially.
Hey my main reason is I want to work around my kids and bring the two older ones travelling next summer without trying to beg for time off from my employer.
G’Day how you doin,
If you haven’t guessed I’m an Aussie and here’s the deal. Australia is way too over priced, over taxed and over goverened, yes it’s now a nany state. I do travel, been to Thailand 5 times this year Chiang Mai and Phitsanulok, I now have a fiancΓ© over there. I am old enough to get a retirement Visa and plan to do that on the next trip but I need a feasable way to earn an income online so I can stay in Thailand. I no longer wish to live in this god foresaken place they call Australia. Yes you’ll hear many Aussies call Australia the lucky country, those are the one’s that haven’t been anywhere else.
I am a Structural Cad Draftsman and that particular industry has not yet opened itself up to working remotely in full, trust me I’ve tried.
Great Videos keep em coming,
Check out thekiltedaussie on Youtube if you feel inclined to do so.

The biggest thing for me is flexibility, and it’s an opportunity to travel more.
Interested in making money online,and travel the world with my kids.
Change the input, change the outcome
I need an exstra income…and would like to be able to finish my studies.
M tired of looking for job I have debt
Freedom of time and being able to control my day how Iβd like as well as traveling the world with my family.
I need to make extra money and want to be my own boss.
I recently started a transport business on a wing and a prayer. However my cars been unoperational for the last few weeks, no car equals to no money therefore I’m looking at different ways to earn
I’m a student and I come from a disadvantage background so I wanted to do At least some legal to earn money for the things that my family cannot afford for me.
I wrote software for a living for over 40 years. Did well, saved a lot — until my 401(k) got turned into a 101(Fail) over a period of less than 9 months…
I’ve made some of that back. I’ve had several very challenging, enjoyable, and reasonably well-paid jobs, and a very supportive wife (who, BTW is a big fan of yours – she’s the one who told me I need to learn more about you). But not enough to actually retire in anything like comfort. Social Security isn’t going to be enough of a supplement, either. So basically, I can’t retire.
…but I will soon have to. I have found out that my health is failing, and I have maybe 6-8 more years of reasonably independent living (assuming I don’t die during my upcoming surgery), and it is not likely that I will be able to work productively in my chosen profession for more than about 3 of those. The next place I reside can’t have stairs, because it’s getting hard to climb them — and harder to come down them. Soon, I’m going to need a walk-in tub — or give up bathing.
So, that’s why I’m here.
I wana be able to work on my own time and have enough time for my other duties: wifey and mother, without being too tired…
The #1 reason I want to start earning online:
I’d love to say freedom, but in reality, it’s control.
Free time to spend with my family.Finance freedom..Travel the world.
To stop making other people money and paid peanuts,want to give my parents a gift of a lifetime
I wany to be able to earn a comfortable living and take care of my kids
Im unemployed and have a son I want to provide for him and spend quality time with as he grows
my key reason is the flexible hours. I have recently chosen to move back closer to home so I can take care of my father whom I so dearly love. I want to be able to spend the last days with him, so I need a flexible schedule that allows me both worlds. Earn and still have some time
Iβm a new mother. I need flexibility to set my own hours, my own terms and freedom to be able to take time off if the baby is sic or other things that pop up constantly.
Need to get out of the slump that I’m in and spend more time with my kids. Current job situation is not allowing me to do so. Really need this. Need financial freedom!!!!
My mom and me want to travel the world.
Travelling. And, I just lost my job! Let’s give it a go.
Hello,
Well I Am A Student And The First Born Followed By Two Brothers,Growing Up O Didn’t Had It All Still Don’t.
I Guess I Need Stability For My Son , Brothers And My Mother To Enjoy Being Pampered, Spoils, Not To Worry Bout Going To Work Ever Again I Want To Provide For Everyone.
And I Need To Start Paying Back My Tuition Fees.
Hi Niall I already work from home so already enjoying the freedom of working for myself and working flexible hours. What I do presently doesn’t provide the income I desire and also find that I have plenty of hours in the day to do something else. I need something challenging and exciting to compliment what I am already doing! Hope you are going to help me achieve this π
Thanks for the comment, Karen. What kind of work are you doing currently? Do you think it’s possible to earn more doing that or would you prefer to do something different?
I like the idea of working my own hours and being able to take midday naps. Working less and getting paid more.
I would love more flexibility so I can be there for my kids, be able to fetch them from school, watch their sport after school and stay at home with them when they are sick. I feel as though I miss out on so much in their lives due to work.
I would like to know how to start a business online. Work on my own time and do it from home
Freedom to be there for my kids and hubby when they need me. As a mom of 4 and a cancer fighter it’s becoming more and more difficult to have a stressful full-time job and a hectic family schedule including a crazy commute every single day. There has got to be a better way of life for me and my family. We only have one life to live. Need to apsolutely make the most of it.
I need this opportunity for my health reasons. Cant do office setup anymore, already had lower back surgery. Also would prefer to work drom home, been searching a while but to no avail. Hope you can help
Hi Samantha. Sorry to hear about your health issues. What kind of office work were you doing?
Hi… I currently and for the last 22yrs been working for South African government compiling maps manually and then from the late 90s started doing it digitally….i really need a change and to work from home please
Hi Niall,
I’ve recently given up working a typical 9-5 marketing job for a software company to look after my baby. Every bit of money I can earn around looking after her means I get to spend more days and years with her instead of paying nursery fees and missing out on those precious moments. I’m also tired of working for ever changing management in businesses who seem to be only concerned with turnover, self promotion instead of producing quality through inspiring and developing their people. I want to learn more about what I get passionate about and how I can turn that into pounds to help provide for my family. I hope in the process I can improve my self confidence and worth so I can have the guts to be my own boss.
Great comment, Natalie. Sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this and the motivation runs deep!
Hi
I am frustrated, need more flexibility! Working for a boss is not great and traffic is a nightmare!
I would love to show my mom that there is more to life than her gruelling 9-5 and to give her a better life, if I can do it she can do it too!
Hi Niall – thanks for offering the video series. I escaped from the corporate world several years back to chase my dreams of sailing and traveling. I’ve been doing that, and freelancing along the way… but I need to step it up a bit. I am not achieving the earnings I would like to have through the work I’ve been doing, so finances are getting a bit low. I do NOT want to go back to the soul-sucking reality of corporate, nor do I want to go back to working a fixed location job. Ideally, I would like to continue traveling, being location independent, work from anywhere, earning enough so that I can cover my basic needs and put money away for those rainy days, and manage my own schedule. Is it too much to ask? I don’t think so… and that’s why I’m here, ready to make some changes.
I am currently working an eight hour shift job requiring me to wake up early six days a week. I want to be able to work for flexible hours and also be able to do full my dream of traveling the world.
I am a full time student so I barely have time to go out there and work due to my study work load. working on line will be much better because I get to work according to my schedule, I get to save transport money, dressing codes and all that.
I get to do multiple thing all at once
At the moment I am not working and I am struggling with the day to day basis and I can’t give my children the best that I know they deserve.
I am busy with a Masters degree in English and want to write and edit for a living- I think carving a career for myself online is perfect. I am already writing and editing for an online company and loving it. But I need to develop my profile and ensure that I am aware of opportunities and gain the correct experience so that I can sustain myself in the long run.
Have been unemployed for 2 years, need to start working again and would love for it to be flexible and fun.
I want to work remotely so I can travel and no longer have to punch in and out for people who do not value me or my energy. I want to build a better life for me and my family. I have had enough of being told what I can and can’t have as a member of a society that is more about lining the pockets of the rich rather than creating a society that is fairer and more balanced for all. If that means more of us going out on our own to do it, then so be it and let’s roll.
I like your attitude, Al π
I am starting my own company and need the extra capital, also the freedom to move around South Africa as needed for my new company.
I need this because I want to invest in my dreams
I really need to earn something for my family and i
. Im unable to get job after school
Precisely, to disrupt the rabblement!
From an Oxfordshire/Malagasy free spirit, with attendance at a technology backround upperschool during the 90s.
I’ve researched and connected with multiple online entrepreneurs, digital nomads and online business opportunities since, 2013-2014.
Very ready to take the next steps to freedom and life long travel.
Coincidentally, I’ve just returned from volunteer work in Gran Canaria for 8 months (nice use of the Island in your video π
Financial freedom
Want to set my own hours, not 9 to 5
The number one reason for me to earn online is to have that extra income that will allow me to travel more and see friends of mine that are in other countries, from New Zealand all the way to Chicago. And also being able to send money earned to my mom, she has helped me so much in life and now it’s time to help her out.
I am looking at a business opportunity and love travelling
Want to travel more, be able to work from anywhere, not be stuck in traffic every day and also have more flexible working hours.
To be able to travel and get inspiration from different places and people. And to get rid of the bureaucracies and “it has always been done like this” type of mentality.
I would like to earn online because I find it cool to work on the internet and probably I love to explore new places and their environment so of course to travel different sides.
I want to travel and see the world. Earn money from anywhere and not have a boss.
I want to earn online because I hate my job…it is simple as that.
I worked in an office job and had long hours, more than 12 hours per day, and everyday including Saturday. I had no time to do anything else. I want to be able to work online so that I can travel, and just free up my time to do the things I really love.
I work long hours but donβt get any satisfaction out of it, mainly because of no paid overtime and no gratitude from superiors. I need a life and I crave to see the world.
I hope this will give me that opportunity π
To have time to raise with my kid’s and not to be stuck up in to 9-5 hour doing money for someone else
Tired of the rat race. Want to travel, see the world, determine my own work hours and be financially free.
I just like too get an extra incom and spend mortyme withe my childran
I want to learn how to earn an income online, because I would love to keep on travelling the world. Meeting new people from all over the globe, experiencing different cultures, eating the best food, being in the most stunning nature, doing things that scare me. Travelling allows me to continuously step out of my comfort zone and experience a steep learning curve. By having location freedom when it comes to earning an income, I can go and see so much of this beautiful globe that we only have one life on. Besides that, I value having responsibility and being able to make the decisions for myself.
I am by the way from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and would love to get in touch with anyone who is chasing the same goal. We might be able to help each other out and share experiences!
I just missed you then, Hidde! I was in Amsterdam for a month but left on Thursday.
That’s a pity! I really hope you enjoyed it ~ looking at your videos it seems like you have π I hope you will visit again and I hope next time I have picked up a skill and have started my own online business. I am now in the phase of discovering what skills would fit me best and what type of jobs on Upwork sound interesting.
All the Reasons that you mentioned in the above video, but not the last one!.
I want to find Freedom! to do what ever i like, to get what ever i need, to go where ever i want to go. that my reason, nothing more… i have seen some bad times in my life. but i want to change that….. That’s what I want…..
For all the same reasons you have said except for showing off of course hehe. I really want to travel around the world but i can’t with my current budget and stupid low salary so i hope i can manage to earn some Dollars ( at least the plane ticket) online.
I am not working at present & really miss it! On-line work sounds just up my street at the moment.
I am retired and have lots of free time. I think it will be a challenge.
Hi! I want to earn from an online job it is because I want to sustain and help our daily needs in the family. I’m already 52 yrs old and no company will accept at my age for work.
There are far too many places in the world I have yet to see and experience before I get too old to travel
To gain a different set of skills, learn more about running a business and to have free time to spend with family.
Hi, i am a single mother. I need an extra income plus i want to spend more time at home with my daughter. (Ad yes, off course…..want ti travel, show her ythe world)…
I just need to be busy at home
Starting a business on the side and I’m looking for way to finance it.
I want to work online so tgat I can have more time for my family. I would also like to move my family from where we live now, as it’s become real dangerous by the day with all the shooting and innocent people getting killed on a daily basis. Ive given up my job so that I can drop off and collect my children at school, so to get an online job now, where I earn enough to take care of my family would really be a true blessing. Thank you for this opportunity, I will be eternally grateful.
I am tired of living hand to mouth. There must be more to life. And here I am, looking for that ‘more’.
I would absolutely love to travel… and hopefully attain financial freedom.
My reason is that Iam unemployed after 20 years of being a swimming coach .
With long hours and have always dreamed of working online so I can travel and make extra income at the same time
Hi i am curently studying and working and support myself, the extra income would help me alot. And would love to be able to just break away and just have fun sometimes. Lol
Hi,I need to spend more time with my family and be my own boss.thanks
Hii
This is amit from india,from a small town CALLED mcleodganj
for me the reason to start earning online is i want to travel around the world.
i just dont want to spend my whole life here
thanks
My number motivation is my background. As a graduate, I want a flexible job that will not hold me back from taking good care of my health, saving enough money to relocate (I really want to relocate) to Canada/New Zealand, and learning new skills.
I want to live start living in netherlands and i’m still a student so i want to earn some money beforehand so i don’t run into financial problems
It’s always good to be prepared.
Hey Ali, I’m in Amsterdam right now, visiting for a month. Such a great town!
I want to have the flexibility of working my own hours so I can complete my honors qualification as well as start building the foundation to financial freedom.
I want a fresh start on my own terms and live life the way it should be lived.
Hello! Im Claudia from Bolivia, I am here because your video that funny and poetic that you made it and was viral in the newsmedias, about how you gave up your job to travel so Im here to try to make all those items that you mentions possible but mainly learn how is the business of working online π
Welcome, Claudia! Glad you enjoyed the video π
I have been struggling for over two years trying to freelance but it isn’t easy. I am also living in a country where 1 person gets hired to do 5 people’s jobs, you end user burnt out and not paid your worth.
I really want to be happy working everyday, I want the freedom to get to the gym, climb a mountain or even go to the bank when I want or need to. I also want to travel, I would like to travel for half the year.
I would like to spend time with my family .and give my kids a better life.
I am initially looking to make a bit of extra income. However, would love to be totally self sufficient by March/April next year π
My #1 reason for considering earning online is to set my own work schedule and to be able to travel the world more, and spend time with family and friends.
I want to do this because I want to spend more time with my family and do more than what I see myself doing at the moment
I need an Online Job because of 3 things:
> Financial Freedom
> I get to manage my own time
> I get to be with my family anytime I want to
The reason I would like to work online is that I want to work for myself, be flexible and create something outside my 9-5 job, this will allow me to leave my 9-5 job once.
I just want to travel and be my own boss
I want to take control of my life.
i want to be the richest person in the world (i’m not joking)
What if you only became the 10th richest person in the world, Amine? Would you be disappointed?
i don’t what i am gonna be like from here till that day, but the present me would be disappointed, happy but disappointed.
working day and night to make your boss vision and dreams come through,is not real to me. i love to read and learn from others and also i want to be able to solve some problem in the world as a whole. And by working for someone i can’t do all this thing. so that is the reason for join.
Financial freedom and self determination are my motives
Yooo !
I am young belgian-Italian backpacker, one of those kids who go on a gap year and say βNo worries Iβll start my studies next year!β. The coolest year of my life is now coming to its end and Iβm realising I want my life to be just like these months have been. I have worked at home, travelled India and Nepal, got back, got bored, went to Australia to work for a bit and nom Iβm enjoying the last weeks in Bali. Iβve worked on a Facebook page while I was on the road and realised I really love sharing my experiences by writing, shooting photos/videos and just calling my friends and family from time to time.
Although I wanna travel, I also want to complete my studies. I would like to use those years to develop a sustainable income that will hopefully last until I decide I want to settle down and build up a family (or until I get bored). Thatβs why I subscribed to your course.
Thanks !
Fabio
As long as you are working for someone, you are breaking your back to make their dreams happen.Exploitation is rampant and so many of us are overworked and underpaid. I want to have the freedom of being my own boss and determining my own life. My real passion is music. I have wunderlust. So if I can do what I really love and have the freedom to travel while I’m at, I will live a much more fulfilling and enjoyable life. We should not be working to live. That is not living. That is dying.
Living your passion(s) is the dream for entrepreneurs. The key to success is figuring out how those passions have commercial import, enabling power, and financial value to others. Find that brass key and the path will be worn to your door. Β©2018
I want to be my own boss, to choose my working hours and my projects. I want to have the mornings to myself and I want it to be my choice whether I work 4 hour/day, or 12, or whether I take a week off to lay on the beach. My only concern is that as a freelancer I will get to spend more hours working than I do now.
Hey Jayson,
In the beginning you may have to work more hours than you do now. That was true for me. Though I’ve known many other freelancers who were able to work less right from the start. I’d say it largely depends on what skills you have already, and how comfortable you are selling your services.
First of all, I still have to see how much of an altruist you are, dishing promises of better life for nothing. And I mean it in a friendly way.
To answer your question, I pretty much want all of it before I “feckin” die (I just love that feckin, picked it up from another Irish guy – Tactical Potato…but I digress), ‘cept the social flash thing, I’m an introvert who keeps to himself.
So, see the world, get to know other mentalities, feel the freedom to just “be” in the world and explore it. One catch, though – once you have your family thing going, all you can hope for is a way to not just wither away in the work – wife – kids – parents, but to achieve something bigger for your own sake.
Sorry for my english, and..that’s it. Do you even reply to these?..
Hey Tomislav,
I read them all and reply to some π
I hear you on the family thing. One of my greatest concerns about starting a family is feeling I need to work so hard and long to support them, and then I don’t get to spend any time with them. That fear is surely part of the reason why people settle for regular jobs rather than “risk” doing their own thing. In the long-run though, I trust that I’ll be better off doing my own thing, and my family will be, too.
As for “dishing promises of better life for nothing,” it’s not all for nothing, as I have a premium course that I sell, but I give away a ton of information for free first to build trust. And this kind of work is also very fulfilling to me because I’ve seen how it changes lives.
All the feckin best π
Have been in and out of work for a year now since leaving a pretty awful job as a Field Sales Representative and am now looking for a new opportunity. Main reason is to have a decent income along with time to travel and see children more.
Looking to spend more time traveling and being able to live anywhere I want.
Hey Niall, the main reason and motivation for me to do this is that in the past four years I have been working on a office job even shifts that caused myself having the worst nightmare in my life that I almost got a heart attack due to insufficient rest. Everyday I spend at least 4 hours going back and forth to work and the stress from these is causing me unable to even rest at night and finally Iβve decided to quit my job because I was admitted to the hospital. Now I am hoping that I can get myself to earn online spending more time resting as well as travel around the world as life is short!
Wow, that’s a serious commute, Dave! Glad you’re not doing that anymore. And good on you for quitting. Life’s too short for a job like that.
I need to decrease my involvement in my present career as the hours and stress of the work are slowly killing me. Having suffered a recent spinal fracture in an accident has really brought the message home that I need alternative ways to make money to live
I would love to became my own boss and set up my own business and became free from other people
Absolutely hate being stuck in an office and need more free time to spend with friends family and to travel more ….
To make money online
I want to start earning to live a less stressful live , to make me live in comfort not worrying about the future .
Would like to work online profitably and quite my corporate job permanently!
Hi Niall,
There’s so much world out there to explore, and THE biggie for me, FOOD! I want the freedom to travel, and eat, and develop recipes to inspire people to COOK again. We don’t all have the pleasure of amazing street food culture. Also, I want to break free of the constructs of society that were enforced on me: job, house, car, and all the unnecessary mental, financial, and time obligations that come along with that lifestyle. Improving my vocabulary would be nice, too!
Nice one, Vanessa! Are you familiar with Sam and Audrey on YouTube? They do travel and food videos. I met up with them in Hong Kong years ago. They’re still going strong π
I’ll check them out!
I like the idea of generating income online.
I want to be mobile so I an go Kiev or Amsterdam or Paris for a week or two and not miss about.
But it is not all about money only.
People do not think things through. I want to challenge their critical thinking subtly. They do not have to think like me as long as they understand and can support their position.
I want to entertain my readers. Spread the humor–it is the spice that keeps knowledge fresh.
And, would it be grand to have a positive influence on people and society.
I like the ‘net. Let’s getting pumping the money pumps!! Β©2018
Hey Tom,
“People do not think things through. I want to challenge their critical thinking subtly. They do not have to think like me as long as they understand and can support their position.”
That’s actually one of my main motivations as well with the content I put out there online. Glad to hear I’m not the only one π
I’m 25 years old, and I had been working in the corporate world for 3 years after graduating from college. I couldn’t help but think how much I would hate my life if I had to do this for the next 40+ years of my life.
The fact that we are obligated to be there between a set amount of hours (whether or not you actually need that much time to get your work done) and the only incentive you get for working your ass off is a measly percentage raise every year.
Sure, it adds up. But, it also plateaus.
I am doing this because I want to be in control of what I work on, who I work with, how I do the work, where I work, and when I work. Because this path, even though it is uncertain, is the only one that makes sense to me.
self freedom in a good working environment is my dream
I m interested on how to make money online
Hi, Im Grace and I think this is the best way to earn while looking after my lovely niece that longs for a motherly care and affection.
i am looling for the earning while staying with my family so i can take care for my mother and i can take care for my son. with all freedom from stressfull orders from bosses
i want to give my family a secure life
My husband travels for work a lot. I am a registered nurse, but have given up my career to take care of our son and daughter because we just couldn’t bare seeing our kids (who already has to grow up without their dad home most of the time) also have a mom who works 12 hour shifts. I LOVE to travel and even had the opportunity 2 years ago to take our kids with us on a 4 month trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. It was pure bliss.
They were aged 8 and 4 and they travelled so easily.
I have started to homeschool them again now (l like the term world school more though ) l would like to earn money online so we can travel more with my husband and having that extra income without being bound to work shifts in a hospital will be a great alternative.
Our children keeps asking when we can travel again and l feel there is no greater way to teach them how the real world works than experiencing different cultures, languages etc. first hand.
I like new experiences and adventure and being able to make money from anywhere in the world sounds perfect to me seeing that it is not easy to organise myself nursing jobs in different countries every 6 months.
Cape Town is an awesome city to live in but the summers are terribly windy and if l can l would skip Summer here!
We also love to scuba dive and prefer warmer tropical places to do that….and the sharks here are HUGE
Mainly to travel and have my own freedom, but I think with this freedom comes a lot of discipline. Just out of college now and don’t want to fall into the grad programme slave trap where I am told what to do; I want to make mistakes on my own thank you! I also want to see how I can directly help someone with my services; instead of doing it in a big corporation where everything seems to be slave-driven.
Working online will definitely give me the freedom i always wondered to have.
I will be in-charge of my own working days and can customize accordingly. There’s no having to ask for time off or calling in sick. There’s no one looking over your shoulder to make sure you’re working.
I have a freelance job what I love it but sometimes I feel that I need to do something new. I’d like to find something what I can do parallel with my freelance graphic designer work.
I know first I need to improve my English knowledge because lots of times it isn’t enough.
I want to earn money and explore the world.
Working for one company for a long time pigeonholes you to a certain type of industry in the eyes of agencies and employers so looking to build experience in other industries as well as not being over-reliant on a full time position in uncertain times. That and the ability to be location independent.
In a word: FREEDOM!!
I need flexibility, I need an income, I want to be able to go where I please (barring safety concerns), when I please without worrying about how I’m going to fund the necessities of life.
Hello Niall,
I’ve been on your mailing list a long time, cause I like your cheery funny face π
I’m retired on a low income, a trained creative who doesn’t want the business (hassle) part of dealing with clients. So I’m building (another) blog/website which I would like to make some money with.
I am supposed to be working part-time, with a flexible schedule, but I have mandatory meetings, trainings, etc. plus a commute on top of it all. So I am an IT Professional and working mother getting paid a part-salary for a full-time job. The only way to advance would be working seven days a week, in addition to every week day AND late nights after the kids are in bed. I am exhausted, stressed, and looking for something more sane. My health and my family need a rest! As an experienced digital project manager, there’s no reason I can’t do my work remotely and skip the seven hours of meetings and two hours commuting each day.
hi, I have just entered in the field of marketing( working as a marketing executive in a b to b firm) I need to develop various skills to go ahead in this field.
Niall: Retirement is the current reason, although every other reason in your video would have been my answer when we first met. Excited for your continued travel and success in helping yourself and others. Jeff
Looking for a way to earn money, while doctors determine how to treat my “mystery illness”, and beyond.
Just recently disabled. Need to find work I can do from home to help support my family. I’ve been following you for years…wish me luck.
I been already in manny places and found my love in Japan ,i would love get an online work to spend more time with my love and travel with her .
Freedom and flexibility
I was in the cops for 35 years . I retired last September. I would love to work for myself . Btw I really admire what you have done with your life .
Well, i have decided to start working online simply because i spent most of my time in my office room sometimes doing nothing and i feel its high time to get to earn and spent my time more profitably.
Location and hours freedom is what I am after!
To travel more and have the opertunety to go where ever I want and do what ever I want! Do be the bos of my own hours and not have to listen to anybody else!!
I’m looking for inspiration how to be your own boss, and work anywhere in the world. I quit my job working for the city, tomorrow is my last day.
Congrats, Anne! Exciting times π
make my hobby job and my job hobby
I want to rule myself, to have my life, and my money. My hobby is having a laptop and doing many things. So maybe I can make my hobby my job and my job my hobby. So simple and so good!!!
Everything you said. I’m too young to retire and too old to continue working for others. Number one reason is simply Freedom of choice!
well, honestly, I wasnΒ΄t very sure why I signed up, until I watched the video and your accent totally convinced me…!
Hi Nial,
Well, I always dream to travel around. Actually, I am in your country, I just moved here from Italy to lear English.
So, one day I would like leave my current job in Ireland and just travel, travel, travel.
Niall,
I have been thinking quite a bit about taking the same kind of leap you did all those years ago and I want to learn more about how to survive.
I just like all the bouncy music on your video!
And travelling, there’s that.
Hi Niall
I am Mohammad from Iran.
I love travelling and meet mew people and their culture.I want to be free like a bird….
The main reason I would like to work online is that I want to work for myself, be flexible and create a business that has low overhead costs with a wide array of possibilities.
The motivation for myself would absolutely be traveling worldwide while earning money on my iPhone. It fascinates me!
I am 20 years old and living in the Netherlands.
I am doing the education interactive webdesign and after I graduate, I don’t want to end up as a loan slave like much people.
Instead, I would like to live in another country and experience live to the fullest while earning online!
Like Jodie, I want to be free but not too poor.
As I approach 50, I feel less secure finding a new job, if I had to give up my current one. Working online can be a temporary, or a longer-term solution for me.
I have to sell my home and would like to get my kids out of the box that is growing up in the USA. Go to work, come home, own a home, get married, have kids so they can go to work. I want to change their mindset. So we are taking the this opportunity to travel a bit.
I need to find that somehow, rather than using my home equity.
I’ll turn 58 this summer, so I’m creating up on retirement age. I’m looking for sometime that can subsidized my retirement income. I’m looking to travel all over the United States and that coss money.
Nial,
Divorced Irish mother of 3 living in Ga, USA. Finally got rid of the kids (empty nester) now itβs my time!
My number 1 reason??? Last year I got the travel bug, I donβt want to sit in the USA anymore and watch the world go by. This country is about work till you die families spread out , hardly have time for each other except major holidays . Not for me!
Iβm free, single, ready to travel but a small hiccup (the funds).
I have no degree but loads of experience working for myself working with seniors through hospic and activities of daily living. What can I write about???
I am envious of your lifestyle and have been following you for the past year.
Great stuff!! Keep it up.
Mary
I would like to be able to earn a living wherever I choose to be and to choose my own income level based on my effort.
Hello! I want to earn money online because I want to sail around the world and live in a sailboat traveling!
Hello,
I’m just bored to death in my work.
I have a great salary, great schedule but i just feel like im stuck here.
I always loved to travel, i’ve been to 20 countries at least and thats what i like to the most but it’s awfull just to do it 3 weeks a year.
I also love editing videos so what i really want to do is be a vloger. I’m just looking for the thing that will be unique about my vlog to start working on that on the side and leave this crappy life.
I just want to be free but not too poor!
I’m unemployed. Have searched for jobs but haven’t been successful in getting any job. Have debts to settle and much more.if I can earn some money online it will be my greatest achievement
Nice one!
I really appreciate your great work.
I actually have a job, but it’s not paying off enough. So I really want to double my hustle
More free time with my family
Hi!
I’m a full time working mother of 3. Things in my country with the economic crisis are extremely difficult. Money is never enough. Overworked and underpaid. I want to be my own boss and spend more time with my family. Things are still not clear to me as to how I can do this Online? I just discovered you. Thank you for the opportunity and help. I’m very grateful!
Hi Niall
30 year old male with a daughter. My reasons for wanting to do this is what a few people already mentioned, more free time to spend with my daughter. Also of course, everything that you’ve mentioned in the video, travel, avoiding peak traffic, etc etc, sounds like the kind of life I could get used to. Living a very exciting lifestyle, with my little one, while earning money to live comfortably, not get rich, but to live comfortably mainly.
Since it seems I’m with 60 yrs too old for any kind of job I apply for, this might be an opportunity to make money out of my car where I moved in to live in since I can’t afford housing anymore being out of a job.
I want to travel the world….
Hi,
I am a mother of a two year old with one more on the way and want to be able to be there for both of them but also support them. I have always told myself I would travel with my kids so they can see the world. Another reason is so my better half is not the only one working and he can have some time to enjoy travel with the us as a family.
Thank you
In my culture, working in a proper office and do it from Monday to Saturday, or Friday if you are lucky, is what you are told to do until you are on your 60βs… I was working for 48 hours per week plus 12 traffic hours… I want to stay at home, raise a proper family and still having incomes for that. My husband tried your method and has helped us a lot to have a better life, so I want to give it a try
I’m doing this because I need the money. I need the money to pay for travel and college because my parents are not supportive of my career options and refuse to pay for my education.
I want to be my own boss, to choose my working hours and my projects. I want to have the mornings to myself and I want it to be my choice whether I work 4 hour/day, or 12, or whether I take a week off to lay on the beach. My only concern is that as a freelancer I will get to spend more hours working than I do now.
At 51 I’m planning a Gap Year… my son goes off to Drama School next year and I’m going around the world in a camper van to write a cookery book on traditional food.
Hi!this is my ultimate dream to work from home in a smart and efficient way.! Vast opportunity as well wherein career too is enhanced through innovation. Enough time also to enjoy life every day.
I want to have more flexibility where I can work! I want to visit other countries and work from home. I have been a teacher for a long time and I want to have time to enjoy some downtime and some hobbies.
Hi Sir! I’ve been spending quiet sometime to find an online job but unfortunately I haven’t found one. I just want to learn from you and earn soon through online I hope you could help me. Thank you.
Hi
Iβm a game art and animation student. I would like to earn money whilst at home so I donβt have to take time out of my day to travel back and fourth to my part time job. Itβs expensive and exhausting, when I know I could be sitting in my wee flat getting in some extra hours of study in. Iβd also love to travel after studying and get a head start on making money online.
Hi N.Doherty,
I don’t have enough money to start business & I need a lot of money to prove some m*therfu**ers wrong. which is not possible by 9:00 to 5:00.So, I think only online work/business can be the sheet-anchor, as there is no limit of earnings without investment. Sorry about that sentence, Hope you understand.
Thanks,
Mohd. Suffiyan
Copy and pasted from Dave above – I would like to learn how to make money online to help me get ready for retirement overseas.
i want it badly!
To keep travelling fulltime and follow the sun with the flexibility to visit more countries while sustaining a great income. And have the family join us wherever we are so we can share the experience together would be fantastic.
I want to travel more……
I want the freedom to set my own times, work the hours that suit me, nap & workout when needed, and travel when and where I want to.
We’ve reached a point in humanity where it’s possible to travel anywhere in the world relatively easy, where most of the world has fast(ish) internet and there are a host of online jobs you can undertake.
I would regret not taking advantage of this opportunity.
The opportunity to go back to our roots, and become a nomad once more.
I’m a trained software engineer for a large multi-national company here in Ireland.
But the reason I got into the field was that a freelancer from Canada moved in with me; he did some online training, got a job freelancing online with some bank and just travelled around Europe for years making quite a bit of cash (I was super inspired, and super jealous).
This was my inspiration to start into the field and it just wouldn’t be right if I didn’t complete that quest.
I’m a developer with 18 years of experience. My wife needs quality time now.
financial freedom
I am a marketing strategist, event planner data analyst and sales.
Being stuck in one job just kills the other talents and I love to work on a different project
Besides, I love Traveling
Travel world, earn money and enjoy!
Financial freedom
for the time being, I am not getting any path for my future
Self reliance and to be financially independent and liberated from the system of pointless degree courses and fruitless job application processes. I’m a productive independent learner that should be doing so much better so time to harness that attribute in a more capital creating manner.
At 32 years old, I am losing my childhood best friend to cancer. The sobering and extraordinarily difficult experience, has, for the first time in my life, opened my eyes to the truth that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. We must live life to the fullest while we’re here.
I want freedom of time (specific work hours) and location to begin doing all of the things I’ve told myself I’d like to do “someday.”
Hi Niall,
A recent tragic event has made me re-evaluate my life.
Sick of sitting at a desk 9-5 Mon- Fri.
I want to travel and be self reliant while doing so.
Cheers,
Ally
Iβm a 27 y\o designer with 6 years of working experience, I left job because of some bad reasons and I don’t want to be dependent on my family any more, My family situations are not good, they are already in pain, so i want to make money online for them and be self independent.
Thank you.
Neetu
I am 75 years old… a well educated professional whom NO ONE wishes to hire! I want a larger income to “indulge” myself in my “reclining years”…. things like travel in Europe [my wife wants to see the Eiffel Tower], FISHING….fishing while drinking Brandy, fishing with a new friend, fishing for giant catfish in the Elba River of Spain….OK..I LOVE to fish… and I really don’t care if I catch any or not! To do ANY of these things it takes $$$… and at 75, IF you have a better idea… please let me know!
Hi Alan,
It seems that you are fishing many years so you have experience and know a lot about equipment of fishing. Have you tried make a blog, blog about fishing? Have you tried to work as affiliate or manager yourr internet fishing store as dropshiper?
I’m a 26 yo designer and I love travel but I also love design. I want to be able to travel yet still able to design and make a living from it. I’m also a photographer and I get bored of taking photos of the same cityscapes every day so it would be nice to be able to get some new scenery .
Learn something new is something i want to do.
I just want to travel and meet the world
I really want to just be free and be myself and get to know cultures, people, and new life experiences everyday. Instead of being a shy introvert and bored miserable everyday.
After having a 20+ year career in the newspaper industry, cutbacks took the legs out from under me and lost my job and direction. With a career as a desktop technician, there must be a better way to make money rather than sitting in a backroom somewhere and not being able to experience life more. I’m keeping my eyes on the prize and want to ensure my family has food on the table and roof over their heads without the crazy stress. Am I dreaming?
Definitely not dreaming, Bob! With all that experience and expertise, there are plenty of opportunities there for you online.
Hi. I just be fired from my work because i acquired disability post acute meningitis. Loved my job before….nurse in hospital. Just hated to wake up early in the morning. Maybe is time for a new adventure.
I left a job recently after 14 years. The stress was taking a physical & mental toll on me.
This was a huge step for me since I have always worked. I am 100% at peace with the decision to leave. But, I want to work at least part-time. Online is the ultimate goal-flexibility, less stress, more family! I am fine leaving the large salary and settling for a smaller one to have a better quality of life.
Location independence is my goal this year. I will be building a foundation of skill sets that can keep me going in Southeast Asia so I can focus on creating a passive income business.
I am a recent graduate. I have written numerous job/internship letters that all end with the same response, “We regret to inform….” I decided that I will not wait till the people who are already employed retire so that I can get a chance. Therefore, I chose to join the freelance team where I will not be asked to state my work experience. (Seriously where does an immediate graduate get that). I want to earn online so that I can schedule my time freely without any external influence.
Make a living while travelling! I want to travel soon to Asia
I am actually a long time subscriber (hmm, okay it feels like a long time). And my #1 reason why I want to earn online is FREEDOM!
To be my own boss and be able to travel.
Why? To have the freedom to work at times and in environs that suit me; To have no boss other than me;To have the wherewithal to work & live in summertime – all year round and all the world over. Yay! Bring it on.
More time with my little ones and less commuting!!! π
To earn for my future while taking good care of my lil ones
I would like to learn how to make money online to help me get ready for retirement overseas.
Thank you and keep up the great work !
Dave
Hi Niall,
Nowadays, employers often don’t treat their employees very well. Unpaid overtime, consultations, redundancies and zero hours contracts make employment much less stable or attractive a way to earn a living. But thanks to the internet, employees can stick two fingers up at employers and go do something else much more interesting to earn a living.
I’m a working mother of 3. I need flexibility to set my own hours, my own terms and freedom to be able to take time off if the kids are sick, have a school play or a zillion other things that pop up constantly.
Also, I like being my own boss, I earn more money and and I have full control over how I work, I can vary each day as much as I please and I can take risks and make mistakes without worrying about getting in trouble with “the boss”.
Im interested on how to make an online buisness?
Hi my biggest motivation is the flexible hours and working from wherever I want to.
To suport my family, we are strugling with finacial suport.so i have to do some job, at the same time i have got a one year old child on my shoulder and my husband have no job nobody is there to nelp .this is the reason, and i do not want to breakup my family life so please help me with some job.
And i believe God will bless you in abandons.
thank sir.
