Let me give you 12 reasons to make money online and a simple logic to why you should continue to target the US internet market.

1. You Can Now Decide When You Want To Work
You don’t have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning so that you can get to work by 9am, anymore. Want to start “working” on your Internet Business at 10am? 12noon? 3pm? 6pm? 9pm? or 2am? Its your pick! Because you’re own boss now and you have no one to oversee.

2. You Can Work From The Comfort Of Your Own Home
All you need is a computer with a modem and internet account. Your computer is your office!

3. You Don’t Have To Get Stuck In Traffic Jams Anymore
You’re going to be working from home - so there’s no need for you to go anywhere. You’ll typically be saving at least two hours of your time each day by not having to travel to and from your physical office during rush hours when everybody else is going to work or heading for home.

4. You Don’t Have To Rent Expensive Office Spaces
Your home is your office. This alone will save you big bucks in rental each month, thus making it possible for anyone to start and run an internet business.

5. You Don’t Have To Attend Time-Consuming Office Meetings Anymore
There’s no necessity for you to meet anybody face to face in an Internet Business. If you’re used to attending endless meetings, imagine just how much time and effort this will save you!

6. You Don’t Have To Conduct Meetings At McDonalds Anymore
No longer do you have to buy your prospect a drink and a meal, try to convince him to join your MLM business, buy insurance or Mutual funds from you and after 2 hours of talking, he rejects you!

7. You Don’t Have To Replenish Your Expensive Make-Up All The Time Or Keep Buying New Clothes To Wear
If you were a lady, you would probably spend an average of 20-30% of your salary on make-up and new clothes each month. Imagine the amount of money you will be saving each year if you run an internet business and make money online.

8. You Don’t Have To Call Anybody
With an internet business, there’s no necessity to make phone calls at all in order for you make your money. Thus you save a bundle on phone call charges and you don’t even need a mobile phone to be in business.

9. Your Internet Business Can Be Fully Automated To Run On Its Own
Some internet business models, like blogging, can be fully automated. Once they’re properly set up, you don’t have to lift a finger operating them!

10. You Will Be Able To Spend More Time With Your Family
If you don’t see your children when they’re awake due to your current work commitments, you should seriously consider starting an internet business.

11. Your Internet Business Can Be Created Around Your Hobbies, Passion Or Expertise
This is my favourite reason for anybody wanting to start an online business especially blogging. Tell me what your passion is and I will show you whether you can start a business with it.

For example, if you’re into Formula 1 racing, you can brainstorm and come up with a unique product for F1 and sell it to millions of fans aruond the world, the internet knows no boundary!

12. You Can Operate Your Business In Your Pajamas
Since you’re working at the comfort of home, what beats working in pajamas?

Now are you ready to make money online in pajamas?

Why Target The US?
According to statistics dated back in 2007, the number of internet users worldwide count up to 1.25 billion. US and Canada has 233 million users while Asia has 460 million users. Why should we still target US when there are more users in Asia? Simply because Americans are used to buying on the internet! In fact, they were the first to get used to online commerce. Amazon.com sells hundreds of millions US Dollars of book titles they carry every year, with the majority of their customers being Americans. Even at this recession stage, the internet doesn’t and in fact it is beginning to boom with more people trying to make money online. Look at John Chow’s recent income report, his income grew despite the recession and he is calling “Recession? WHAT RECESSION?”
