Internet business as main job

I agree with Corey. Whilst it'd be great to know that I could make a decent amount working online, i also hate the thought of never getting out there and meeting people. I mean, yes, you might meet people at seminars and things like that, but they're not real "friends" like you can get a conventional workplace.

I know there are many ways you could have internet business as your main job. And I'd like to have something to do that pays online as I'm currently staying home with our newborn daughter <3 And I'm planning on staying home with her for the next two years

Anyway internet as main job is because a choice for me is because a reason. I'm not too confident in making face to face relation in business. I just can't talk properly and offering something so good if i do it offline. Online business is just a typing text and click a mouse, it's so helpfull for me.

It's not because you are 'Online' you don't have to know how and speak (and type) well... you will have to go through some 'relations' all the same, and if you can't convince your client that you have the neccessary knowledge to interact propelly, then, what's the point?

@nic
sorry, but the condition is different between offline and online. I'm not about can't interact with client because embarassed or etc. But the reason is, the word which come from my mouth can't flowing like a river. Do you get my point? Sometime i mispelled something, or stopped because i'm forgot about my business. If people see me like that, probably their wouldn't buy.

On MMO, no face interaction, no voice interaction. And mispelled can be revised, and if i'm forgot about something, i can googling or just wait until i remember it.

Either way, like you say, it doesn't look professional to be making constant spelling/grammar errors. I'm in no way having a go, but I know I wouldn't hire a freelancer who used sentences like the one above.

You need to prove that you're good at what you do, but before you even do that you need to show the client that you're easy to talk to.

That's exactly what I meant. In fact if you mispell something, before you correct it other people will probably see your mistake before you, and you'll be leaving a bad impression.

Exactly. When I used to do freelance work, I'd double check every email/message I sent before I sent it. If you're making avoidable mistakes, it makes you look really bad as it gives a bit of hindsight into the work they'll probably receive.
