Internet-Marketing-Lifestyle

If you’re working full-time as an internet marketer, then congratulations! You have achieved the lifestyle that millions of people around the world have dreamed of and entered a unique group of self-starters who have the drive, motivation and technical understanding to make a living purely online. Even if you’re not yet making your full time wage from internet marketing, simply understanding the concept enough to be marketing your services, promoting your own website or helping other businesses and individuals makes you a true pioneer. Just a few decades ago, the idea of making money this way was completely foreign and unheard of. This is uncharted territory and we represent an entirely new way of working and of living.

But is it everything you thought it would be? Are you truly making the most of this unique position that you’ve created for yourself? For many of us, the answer to this is unfortunately a big fat ‘no’. Internet marketing can be highly stressful and if you aren’t prioritizing your own wellbeing, health and lifestyle then it can actually be worse than working in an office 9-5. If you don’t know how to separate your work/life balance, if you are constantly stressing about whether you’re going to have enough work, or if you feel completely crushed under a massive workload, then you can find that you never really get a time to relax. Likewise, if you don’t get into a good routine, you can end up working from home in your pyjamas all day, starting work at 1pm and not finishing until 10pm. Some internet marketers will meanwhile find themselves selling out and doing work that they take no real joy or pleasure in. It can be a soul-destroying experience to spend all of your time trying to help people sell low-quality digital products, or even harmful items like steroids. Then there’s the feeling that all the work you’re doing is for other people and that you aren’t actually ‘progressing’ in any meaningful way. Then there’s the tax, which is remarkably stressful. Then there’s the difficult clients who make unrealistic demands and unreasonable complaints.
