Very true, and I know people like that who constantly tell me they couldn't do what I do for various reasons. Some also like the fact that they have a start time and a finish time.
Add to that the fact that for many there is no one to push them to work and you have a big failure in the making. Many can't make money from home because they simply don't have the self discipline and determination to succeed. In the summer it's easy to say it's a beautiful day, I'm going to the beach; or go skiing in the winter; play with the kids, become soap or talk show addicts, or find 100 excuses NOT to work. Some people need to be pushed to work, they need directions of a supervisor because they couldn't do it on their own, they can't see the big picture. They're programmed to do what they're told to do, nothing more nothing less, and they have the "employee" mentality that they have to work to make money, period. They look at what's involved and think it's too complicated, too much learning, too much work, too much of everything and they have NO goals. Nothing wrong with that, it's just the way they are. They will work for someone else until they retire.
You really need to like what you're doing when you work online, because you can be totally isolated for days, especially if you're single. I couldn't count how many days I've worked 12+ hours at the computer, only stopping for a few minutes to grab something to eat and got right back to work. You would't see me do that in a "job".
I'm still fairly new to porn, only a couple of years, and not seriously at that. Yet I still manage to make enough money to keep going and try new things. I guess that would put me in Will's 40% of people here. Some weeks I make over $1000 in porn, and other weeks I make less than $200, but at the end of the year if I average my porn income over 52 weeks, it definitely puts me somewhere in that range. Can't complain.
