Creating a 6 Figure Income..... Is It Realistic?

Throughout the online community we see people claiming they have the best online business opportunity, an opportunity for anyone to potentially earn a 6 figure income! In all honesty is this really why people want to join the network marketing industry, do people simple want the high income? I would suspect not! To earn $100K or £66K is a very good income, however, it is not impossible to earn these types of incomes in a regular job, working for somebody else. Granted you will not earn this wage waiting tables, or answering the phone in a call centre however some salesman, engineers, IT specialist have the ability to command these salaries. So what else does a home business offer aside from a good income?

If it was purely money that attracted people to the home business industry then we would see the online community packed out with people from low income backgrounds, not executives from a high powered job in the City or managers from major blue chip companies. The truth is the online business industry attracts people from all walks of life and for many varying reasons. However the one thing in common with all of these people is that they want to create a lifestyle that enables them to work when and where they want, but also rewards them with high commission enabling them to do what they enjoy most in life in their spare time.

Now the truth about earning the 6 figure income. Some people do earn this income however many do not earn anywhere near this in reality. A personal decision has to be made on an individual basis as to what you want out of life. How much do you really want to earn and for what reason?

For some people earning $3K a month but having free time to spend with their family is more important, for others earning as much as possible is more important to them. What is always available with an online business is the freedom to choose! It's about getting the balance right between work and play, and the decision on this being made by you, not somebody else who will pay you a salary however with this they decide what hours you work, when you work and at what location.

Re: Can you outsource your product launch? - Yes that what I am talking about. Creating a buzz for your online product launch basically. Is this part of what you do?
Re: Social Media & Digg, Google, MySpace, and YouTube - Hi Kathy, What I meant about it being worth it was in the sense that I described. Creating multiple accounts for various sites and posting and ranking your own stuff. It's very time consuming to say the least. I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there that has done this and thinks it's beneficial.
