It was interesting and heartening to read about your transition from employed to self-employed. I have faith that one of these days, i shall be able to follow suit.

@Nate
whydowork.com has only about 139 (210 now) inlinks like you mention, but I strongly suspect that the PR5 would be due to the 4248 inlinks to http://www.whydowork.com A mere technicality, but I was honestly surprised that a site with just 139 inlinks would have a PR5 – it would have to be a really old site with a lot of weight in the backlinks!

Apart from that one small technicality, it really is a nice review

I like to have passive income. This is the best way of earnings.

Just wondering, is this a paid post? But sound like a good idea to check it out too.

Self-employment is a very risky proposition indeed, and if unlucky, can lead you to bankruptcy. That’s probably turning people off.

On the other hand, if you can pull it off, you’d be in a magical world as compared to other 9-5′ers

My apologies…I just see a lot of forums get ruined by not regulating what people are posting.

For instance, forum moderators will let companies post “job offers” that are basically scams. Like the “get paid to stuff envelopes” work at home job opportunities.

While I wouldn’t say such people lack aspiration, a lot of 9 to 5 workers I speak to say they “work to live”. I guess for those in business by themselves, or in otherwise very small enterprises, it would be more a case of living to work.

Very good point, Ryan! You are absolutely correct. Fortunately , it will always be the case that the majority of people work

13 hours a day is a seriously hard graft – I struggle and I’m only at about 11 hrs a day, but it’s broken up. Did you do 13 hrs in one go?

Ouch. A 13 hour day!?!? All the same, you’re still a fair way off of Nate.

Nate it is easy to see why your making a living on the net. Your very good at what you do!

We actually have 7 good moderators and some great automated SPAM control!

I know what you mean about attracting “scum-of-the-earth scam artists”; Without spam control we’d have approximately 200 garbage posts a day. Our mods do a great job of keeping things clean and useful.

Nate-

Intersting site. Will have to check it out see what they have to offer. My initial thought is I hope it has a good moderator. It seems like a place that could easily attract the scum-of-the-earth scam artists.

Very good point, Ryan! You are absolutely correct. Fortunately (and unfortunately), it will always be the case that the majority of people work for someone else while only a few are able to develop and/or sustain an independent income.
