After reading them, I’m sure you’ll ask yourself, “Why don’t I like internet marketing?”

1. You are THE BOSS! Yes, this is the most fantastic benefit of having your own internet marketing business. You make the decisions! No pressure from a demanding boss or co-worker. You escape the rat race, don’t just sit in the car in the middle of traffic! You set your own hours and goals. You work in your own home, on your own hours.

2. The money is YOURS! If you work hard, the benefits are all yours, isn’t that great? What you earn is not set or decided by another person who thinks they know what you’re ‘worth’.

3. Better work-life balance. Do you know how slavery it is to be stuck at your 9 to 5 job that doesn’t pay you anywhere near what you really need to make ends meet? With internet marketing, you get a better work-life balance as you can work from home and set your own goals. You just have to set your goals of how much you want to earn with your online business and go for it! You can work from home and spend more time with your loved ones.

4. You can start building your internet marketing business while working part-time, until you’re ready to go full-time. You can still keep your job that pays the bills while you build your internet marketing “empire”. No pressure – you set your goals and go from there! With an internet marketing business, you can work around your current job or commitments. It’s unlike other types of businesses where if you start, you have to go “virtually” full-time right away.

5. Small initial capital outlay. Most businesses require you to have a large amount of savings to get started. With internet marketing, you can start with any small budget and build your business gradually. You can start an internet marketing business by joining an affiliate program for free and market it using the free or cheap advertising methods and start getting some checks.

6. Low operating costs. With other companies, you will have to pay large monthly bills to cover staff, rent, etc. With the internet marketing type of business, you do not have huge operating costs. Your main costs will be advertising, hosting fees, and business accounts, among others.

7. High profit margins. Low running costs mean you can quickly break even and start turning a profit. Most importantly, as you build your business, your earnings will be so great. Your costs for any single sale will be very low.

8. You can AUTOMATE your business! This is one of the very attractive aspects of running an internet marketing business. You’ve heard it before: you can earn money while you sleep or on vacation. You can’t do this with other types of businesses. In internet marketing, you can use various tools to automate your business: autoresponder email system, payment and credit card processing systems. You just need to set these things up and you are good to go. There is nothing better than having financial security on autopilot. Your website will do the work for you 24 hours every day of the year. This leaves you more time to do other things like marketing or expanding your internet marketing business.

9. Unlimited market potential. Your internet marketing business can be as wide as you like. Other businesses will tend to be ‘local’, but with internet marketing, your market could be global. This increases the size of the potential market that you can capture. Internet access and usage will continue to grow in the future, so your market will potentially grow as well.

10. You don’t need your own product. There are several internet marketing business models. You can start making money online without a product, for example with affiliate marketing. You can market other people’s products and earn huge commissions.

11. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Internet marketing is a type of business where you can simply model yourself on a proven business that works, shortening your learning curve. With other types of businesses, you’ll have to learn as you go through ‘trial and error’, which is costly and frustrating. You don’t have to spend time and time solving it. There are established experts who have made it big in the internet marketing business. Just get the blueprints and duplicate them!

12. Free resources. With other companies: any resource you need, you have to pay for. In internet marketing, you can get ezines or forums with invaluable advice. If you have paid for something, it is usually not very expensive.

13. You are part of a community of amazing people. Internet marketers tend to be very understanding and helpful. You can join some good forums where you get amazing support.

14. Tax exemptions. When you run an internet marketing business, you can write off a lot of costs. You only need to consult with your accountant and establish the tax advantages that you can obtain. The key costs for which you can get tax breaks are office supplies, advertising, telephone and fax lines, training, etc.

15. Help you be the best you can be! This is the ultimate benefit. You take pride in having your own business. You have the opportunity to reach your full potential. You can be financially secure and you can retire early.
