The Pros Of Working Online
Now that I have been working online for a few months I thought I would share my experiences with you guys. I have had a number of comments, emails and messages asking me what working online is like. And how it’s going. I also know that a number of my readers want to eventually move to working online full-time like I am currently able to do. So posts like this one may be beneficial for them. So, today I wanted to share the pros and cons of working online.
I wanted to do like a series of posts about my experiences working online and since I’m in a good mood I decided to talk about the pros of working online. Although I have been working online part-time for quite a while now I have only started working online full-time for a few months since I am no longer in university and have more time to take on new clients.

Here are the pros of working online full-time that I have found in the last few months:
I Can Wear PJ’s All Day
I had to have this as my first pro because who doesn’t want to work from their bed in comfy pjs?? It’s such a blessing not having to go to an office or something every day and being able to work from the comfort of my home.
The pjs represent a bigger pro. As you guys know, I’m not great with human interactions and working with lots of people in a tiny office or something doesn’t sound ideal for me. Of course, it would be super awesome for them since I’m amazing but personally I like to be able to do things comfortably and this makes me feel really comfortable.
I also like the idea of working from home for now. Because my mum has some health issues at the moment and I like being able to be around to help her. I can do a lot more working from home and that way she feels less stressed out and busy.
I Can Do Things At My Time
Another huge pro for me is being able to work at my own time. I find 9-5 jobs a little bit restrictive. I know it’s great for a lot of people. But the truth is I’m really not a morning person and I also don’t like work feeling forced. I have always wanted to enjoy what I do and being able to work at my own time makes me enjoy the work more.
I can also pace myself accordingly. For example, I’m not really a morning person so in the morning I usually work on stuff that’s more simple or easier to do. I work much better in the afternoon and at night. So I do the more difficult tasks at this time and most of my work is done at that time. It works well for me and doesn’t really make that much of a difference. I’ll have done the work I’m supposed to do by the end of the day.
If I was working in person, I would not have the privilege of working at my own time. And would have daily deadlines which just don’t work for me.
With working at my time, I can also squeeze in time for my own blog and social media as well as other things such as cooking and cleaning which I often do while I take a break from working.
Travel Isn’t An Issue
As you probably know if you have been following me for a while, I like to go out and travel and just in general don’t like being confined. With working online, I can continue to live my life without too much change. I can travel if I feel like, go out when I want and it doesn’t make much difference. I generally have about 3-5 Zoom meetings a week with clients depending on what they work with me for (for example, when I have virtual Tarot readings I have more meetings but they are shorter whereas blog management or social media management meetings are longer) and apart from these times I’m free to plan my life as I want as long as I’m not slacking off which I make sure I’m not doing.
Long Distance Is Not A Problem
Finding work is quite difficult everywhere these days. I think it’s particularly more difficult for the younger generations. Since we have a lot less experience and there are fewer jobs available. However, working online allows me to work with people from all around the world which really increases my job opportunities.
I can and currently am working with people from multiple different countries and this really helps me get more work.
Saves Money
Working online saves a lot of money for me too. I don’t have to go to work (physically) which helps me save money on transport. I don’t have to rent an office or workspace. And I don’t have to pay for things I don’t already pay for like WiFi. This way, I can save most of my profit and invest it into my business/getting more clients.
Multiple Streams Of Income
If I was working full-time, especially if I was working for someone else, I would have to do one or two things. And would not really have the ability to do so many different things at once. But with working online, I get to have so many different streams of income and they’re all things I enjoy doing. It also helps make more of a profit if you are doing a lot of things instead of just a couple or one job. You can check out all the services I offer by clicking here.
