Online Marketing

Most of the people I know knows how to use the internet. Being a computer science graduate myself, I've developed an interest in communications through social networks and blogs. Website development is not really my passion but it somehow helps having some basic knowledge in that area. 

Right after graduation, I became a business owner and have never been employed to this day. I get to go online most of the time both for business and pleasure. Becoming an entrepreneur after college called for a lot of adjustments because the academe has trained me to become a corporate slave. The people closest to me got disappointed because they expected me to get a job after getting my degree. I did apply to companies because I wanted to know how they test applicants to become employed. I undergone online tests, written exams and personal interviews. I've experienced the pressure of being under someone's mercy. I did get job offers but I turned them all down. What the heck was I thinking, right? 

Time and financial freedom.

Yes, I was thinking about my own freedom. Sorry for using the term "corporate slave" a while ago but that is how I view a person with a boss. Think about it. Employees are being paid for their time, effort, knowledge, creativity and obedience. How terrifying is it to hear the words: "you're fired!" after committing a mistake?

What's the connection of my story to the title of my blog? Better alternatives.

Did you ever realized that employment is not the only way to earn income? If you haven't, I'm telling it to you right now: There a lot of ways to earn income, not just from a job!

Online marketing is one way. This is for people who at least know how to use the internet and know the word Facebook. There are a lot of references available about starting to earn online. This blog was meant for me to earn through advertisements and links. It only takes a decision to start.

I've seen other people doing online marketing as a source of extra income, there's nothing wrong with that. If you are currently employed and wants to earn from this, I highly encourage it. 

Learning new skills and ideas does not stop after graduation. Learning is a continuous process. The more you learn, the more you earn. ;)
