I Have Resigned From My Job To Focus On My Online Business Full-Time!
Dear WA Family,
Happy Day!
Due to my health issues I have resigned from my job and I'm going to focus full-time on my online business.
A Small Introduction About Myself
I'm a WA member for a while (My 10th year). I was working full-time on my online business and I was able to generate reasonable income from my website.
Due to financial issues (2 babies and kid education), I went on working for regular full-time job. Lastly, I was working as a customer service agent for Amazon North America from India (Work from home).
Amazon is a great company, great job, great managers, great remuneration, perks, benefits, and the list goes on. But my health was not supporting and struggled a lot (chest pain).
Hard Decision To Make
Finally, after a long struggle I decided to resign from my job and decided to focus on my health and my online business. Its not easy because suddenly I don't have an income and I'm starting all over again.
Even I thought of moving to a 9-5 day job but if I'm not going take the risk now I will be bounded to this 9-5 rat race forever.
If you don't sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes your sacrifice!
Back To Business
Since my website is almost dead now without any traffic I need to start all over again.
Life Lesson & REQUEST - Never stop working on your website. It's good to work at least a few hours a day/week rather not working on it for years and if you want to resume you need to start all over again.
So, What's The Plan?
A big thanks to Kyle, Jay and many of the WA members for being an inspiration.
Going to work on my dead website MMO niche - I'm going to follow our boot camp training (15 lessons). Also, I'm going to create 2 YouTube channels (English & Tamil - My Regional Language) and 2 Facebook pages (English & Tamil) for this website to promote WA. Also thinking of working on Pinterest and Instagram.
Its good and wise to focus on one thing but because of my must win situation and financial situation, to be on safer side I'm going to create a new website to take advantage of the 400+ sermons I already preached in my church and prayer cells.
For this Christianity website - I'm going to follow our CORE Training. For this website as well 2 YouTube channels and 2 FB pages in English and my regional language. Also going to work on Instagram and Pinterest.
My Target
12 months is what I have to generate a regular income from my online career if I fail I need to go back to job. I'm looking for a minimum of $200-$300 income per month from my websites, YT channels and FB pages. If I'm earning $500 a month means I'm super happy because that's what I earned with my Amazon customer service job.
Why I'm Sharing All These Things?
For accountability, for my record, for my future reference and to inspire others. I will also update my progress regularly via my WA blog posts.
Thanks for reading!
Much Success!
Your Friend,
Paul

Have a priority list of things that need to be done each day and a list of things that would be nice to get done. I'm in a totally different situation but I know my goal is to do an article a day and support it with social media. If I do more, great! If not, I don't want to put too much pressure on me otherwise I will feel defeated and might give up.
Some things are always more important than others in building our sites/businesses.
Get the core stuff out of the way and you'll feel better when you are doing the "extra" things.
Wish you the best!
Les
Thanks a lot for the valuable advice...
Surely I will go with the to-do list and will abide by it. The rest of the things I will take as a bonus.
Again, thanks for those helpful insights...
On Youtube, be sure to do a combination of shorts videos and long-form videos. Shorts can get a lot of people seeing it quickly and long-form videos give you the view time and earnings once you've reached that threshold.
Got it thanks a lot... Actually I'm focusing more on long form videos...
Any advice on FB page please...
Please accept my gratitude; you are a great help. Thank you a lot for taking the time to help me via PM as well. It means a lot to me!
No worries! I'm just paying it forward because I am sure someone has helped me in the past as well. :-)
Hi Paul, here's my best response to you (in your home language ^_^)
மாய் கோடியில் நீங்கள் வேலையில் உள்ளாக்க உடைமாக்க என்பாராம்
Follow your heart as you follow your God.
All the best
Amen! Thanks a lot! Great to connect with you because I know you are also working on your online business full-time.
Thanks a lot! Eagerly waiting for it.
Once I read... To succeed, you need to be surrounded by great people and for me, you are on that list (great people).
Much success on your journey with your online businesses. This is achievable and you are not alone in this journey. I too need to devote a few hours daily to see the fruit of my labor in generating passive income.
Thanks a lot... Indeed, consistency is the key to success... We need to work on our site daily and make it a habit.

This is very inspiring! I think Les, who finished working his full-time job a couple of weeks ago, is giving you good advice. For you, I feel, it will be important to find a good rhythm because you are used to working night shifts. Since you will still have your other tasks, you will not only need to be organised, but also try to adjust to get more rest. I would love to hear how you are progressing. Let us know how you get on.
Wishing you all the best.
Isabella
Indeed, Les is providing great help and support! True, working on my health as well.
For sure, I will update my progress regularly.
Thanks a lot!
