I personally love having several internet businesses and working online. For me there are just so many advantages to this scenario. In this post I’ll briefly cover 10 reasons you should work online. This list is in no particular order of preference, except for the very first one.
#1 – Lifestyle Freedom
This truly is my #1 reason why I like to work and run business purely online. I don’t have to get up each day and travel to a job. In fact, I can work from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. Lifestyle freedom is majorly important to me and I love the “laptop lifestyle”.
#2 – Freedom Is TIME and MONEY
This is really tied into the first point on the list. True freedom is both having money and the time to actually enjoy life. Very hard to achieve when you’re stuck at a desk job or other work all day every day.
#3 – You Don’t Need To Get Dressed
No uniforms to wear. In fact, you can work naked if no one is around. Wear your PJs, a bathrobe, walk around in your underwear. Or, you can throw on your swimwear and work down at the beach. You save money on work attire and don’t have to stress about what you will wear each day.
#4 – No Boss!
I’m sure this would be a big one for many people, having no boss looking over your shoulder, telling you to hurry up and get the work done, giving you designated times when you can eat lunch or even use the bathroom. Who wants that?
#5 – More Quality Time With Loved Ones
Working from home is a great benefit when it comes to having more quality time to spend with your partner and family. You can be with them even when you are working and spend time with them throughout the day which you probably couldn’t do if working a conventional job.
#6 – Time To Do Other Things
As you get to create your own work schedule (me, I like to do a lot of work at night), this allows you some time flexibility to do other stuff throughout the day, like get to the bank, run a few chores during office hours, make some calls. You are your own boss. While it’s up to you to get your work done, you can mix things up as you need to.
#7 – Watch TV and Listen To Music
Depending on how powerful your focus is, you can have the TV on while you are working. Or better still (as it’s less of a distraction), you can listen to your favourite music while working away on your computer.
#8 – Have A Day Off
That’s right, you can take a day off work whenever you like. If you want to give yourself a long weekend, you have that freedom. And if you want to get away for an extended break, but still have work to do, you can take your online business with you and work on it when you want while basking in the sun by the tropical pool at the resort.
#9 – No Dreading Mondays
Gone are the Monday morning blues, knowing you have to get out of bed to start another week of drudgery at your day job. Some people have jobs they enjoy, but many others don’t, so not having to go through this pain and despair every Monday is a real bonus.
#10 – Online Opportunities Are Endless
There are so many ways to make money online, and a search of this website you are now reading will reveal quite a few; many of which I currently do myself. The internet is forever evolving and new opportunities to make money online pop up every single day.

Thanks for highlighting 10 of my favorite reasons that we do what we do. My favorite is number 5. More time with loved ones is just priceless! I have been blessed with a beautiful wife and 2 children. One is in college and our little boy is almost 8 months. I wish I had discovered success online when my daughter was young because I pretty much missed all her milestones. Now watching my boy hit his mile stones is a reminder of the time I missed with my daughter, but I am happy that I have been blessed with the opportunity to work from home and spend more time with my family. This is priceless!
Thanks for reading Michael. There are so many advantages to working online from home. I’ve only highlighted 10 of them here. More time with loved ones is priceless, like you say.
