The people usually drawn to the world of internet marketing are usually impatient and undisciplined. they want to 'get rich quick'. No wonder then when 99% of them get disappointed when they realize they can't just buy a cool domain name and start using Benjamins for TP.
the truth is running a successful online business is just as hard as running a successful brick and mortar business. However there a lot of reasons to start an online business instead of an offline business. Let me explain:
Low start up capital
Online business is so attractive because it takes so little money to get started. If you have $15 dollars to buy a domain name and hosting you can start making money online. It's simple but hard. It takes a lot of effort and strategy to beat out your competition.
Easy automation
Websites and internet marketing is getting easier and easier to automate. This is incredibly appealing to everyone who hears it (though many don't believe it). The more you can automate in your online business the more time you have to pursue your hobbies and dreams.
No income ceiling
As with any entrepreneurial endeavor there's no one telling you how much you'll be able to make at the end of next year (if you perform well until then), no one treating you like a robot cranking out your 10,4798 widget this week. You can make however much you want, provided you're willing to put in the effort and use your native ingenuity.
Make your money with your passions
Because of the ease of communication with the entire world VIA the internet these days its very easy to find and unite a group of people with your same passions, hobbies and interests and to make money doing it. Who wouldn't want to quite their day job to write about, teach about and sell products relating to their passions in life? That's the dream right there. To make a living doing what you love.
Mobility
If you can make enough money online to pay your bills and live comfortably enough you can travel the world, living wherever the heck you want. Why not? You're not losing any money. You can update your websites from Rome just as well as suburbia, America or wherever you are. In fact you could be getting great material traveling abroad that will increase your income. Who knew traveling more could increase your income.
Choose when you work
Working when you want could possibly be the best benefit of all. You'll have the ability to do what you want, when you want so you'll never have to miss your favorite TV show, or miss time with your spouse or with you kids! You'll never have to plan for 5 months in advance when you want to take 1 day off to go visit your parents or to go party in Vegas. You can just go.
All the benefits of starting and running a profitable online business are calculated to put your time and location back into your hands. They're calculated to give you more freedom to choose. Just make sure that once you take back your freedom you know what to do with it. It's easy to blow it on self indulgence and greed. Once you're ready you'll get their a lot faster.
