Hello sanfora,
I do work full time online but I'm not married and I'm not blessed with having kids at this particular time. I do have a girlfriend whom I hopefully will be engaged to within the nearest future. She is actually not that supportive of my career choice, even though she likes the money coming in every now and then. She believes that you should have a "real job" so to speak (like "old school" thinking). She can't clearly see things the same way I do, which is why she's having some slight issues with the career choice. With that being said, she supports the thought of being a freelancer aside from a "real job", so you could freelance on spare time or have it like a hobby. And if that could generate in some extra income, well, then it will be all good. As I've been a freelancer since the first time I met her, she's used to it by now, even though she can't be fully supportive. I have no friends in real life so to speak, who's working the same way I do and she hasn't either. Which is probably why it's even harder for her to understand.

Best Regards,

I have a full time job and freelancing is an extra thing for me. However, my main goal is to work as a freelancer and webmaster full time. I still have a lot of work to do before getting there though. I think this is a good way to make money online but you need a very good foundation and spend lots of time to build customers. Once you keep getting repeat customers and a good reputation online with quality services, then this is definitely possible. I am not married but by the time I do get married, I want to be able to earn money just online and quit my job.

Freelancing is a good way to make money but I do not feel it can allow you to make enough to support a wife and kids. It can be used as a part time job, to give you a boost in your income, but considering that you cannot be quite sure of the amount of money you can make from freelancing, it is not a safe option to rely on when you are the breadwinner of a family. At least that is how I consider it. Besides you would need to consider retirement options, and the fact that with freelancing you can hardly have sick leave and vacation leave and other similar benefits that come from a normal job.

WOW! really very interesting question. I have been starting freelance career before 7 years but my turning point was when I started work on SEOclerks and after joining here I earned very satisfactory amount. But here almost 5 years and before here I just work as part time job as part time freelancer. And I never thought before joining SEOclerks I could get freelancing as career and now I am doing here full time job and SEOclerks make me solvent over 5 years. And I luckily got marry after starting full time freelancing on here and I have a cute son too. So, as freelancer not to worry how to manage everything even after getting marry. And yes now I can ensure you freelancing is an excellent way to make your life dependable and finical solvent.

Sanfora, great question!! Freelancing is definitely a great way to make money. I am married and have 3 daughters and a small dog and I completely support my family off of SEOClerks! I have been able to this now for a little over 2 years! I used to work a full time job AND full time here on SEOClerks!! It was a lot, I hardly saw my family but I have since been able to really work as hard as I can here on SEOClerks and it has definitely paid off! Now I don't have to work a full time job plus work from home, I just get to work from home but not nearly as much as I worked my full time job! And it's all because of the my loyal customers and great support here on SEOClerks!!

The way you have written your post, it looks like freelancing is a kind of slavery. I admit that working online has no holiday break otherwise you will lose the opportunity to earn. But I don't think it's too tedious as to affect your family life especially if you are married. It's just a matter of fixing your work schedule and practicing discipline in using your available time.

I'm a mother with kids working full time,well I just started out so I don't really know about the future for now but I know I'm enjoying it now, at least I'm having a little bit of balance for now than when I was working a regular job of having to leave the home quite early and getting in late.

At least I have ample time for the family maybe I could go back to the regular job when the kids are of age but for now, I need to be with them then also find out time to be with them.

I'm married with kids and freelancing gives me extra income only. It can't be compared to a regular paying job which pays much much more than freelancing jobs. I'm a part-time freelancer.

Fully supporting my family solely on Online Work is my ulterior motive in becoming an online freelancer and I haven't attained that level yet but I'm getting there, slowly but surely in a couple more years I would earn my target to fully support my whole family on my online freelancer income.
