So you want to make money online but don’t know if you need a degree?
Life as we all know is continually becoming more and more difficult. This is true for students graduating and thinking about their future and what career path to follow.
Are you one of them? Or are you simply looking for a better option than the one you currently have?
Whatever has brought you to this article, YES it is possible to make money online without a college degree.
I’m sure over the years you have heard the same rehearsed lines over and over again. Having good grades will get you into a good college/university and that, in turn, will land you a great job.
I’m here to tell you that for many this does not happen. Life is not like a fairytale and things don’t always go the way we want them to.
If you’re looking for a new opportunity but don’t have a degree, I’m here to help.
College Or Internet Marketing Course?
First and foremost, for many people college seems like the only option when you graduate. While this might be true for many especially those who plan to become a lawyer or even a doctor. These careers can’t be done without degrees.
What happens if you decide to pursue making money online as your career path? Do you go to college and spend 2-3 years studying or do you take an online course?
If you already were someone who dreaded school then college is no different. You have a schedule, classes you need to attend, grades you need to get, and exams you have to sit.
College essentially is an upgraded version of high school. If you are going to skip class, party weekends, find excuses not to do what needs to be done to obtain your degree, then why go?
As I mentioned earlier, the education system is failing young adults unless they obtain a degree that they can’t study online.
There is so much information available from experienced entrepreneurs who are experts in their field that you would probably be better off spending your money on several internet marketing courses from top entrepreneurs than at college.
Saying this, you don’t need to buy a course to get information. There are several free courses available. The difference is just that the paid courses often have extra information and tips you won’t get if you take a free course.
If you are low on money, free courses are great. You can always learn, grow, and then when you start making money, you can think of investing in a paid course that might take your business that one step further.
Difference In Study Time Between Course And Degree?
This is a very common question.
Top entrepreneurs make millions, we automatically think by the way they advertise it must be easy to make money online.
While this is true, in reality, the process of becoming an internet marketer for a complete beginner usually takes 12 months onwards to fully understand all the basic aspects of internet marketing.
It’s not that it’s difficult, hence why you don’t need a degree to do it. The amount of information you need to process sometimes changes the way you think and look at things.
Always remember that to grow in any field you will never stop learning or improving your skills. The more you learn, the more you earn.
Can You Be Successful Without A Degree?
It’s important to note that many who start their online journey do not always become successful. This has absolutely nothing to do with not having a degree but rather that they simply give up.
But, why would they give up, you might ask?
When you start, the workload you put in is equal to if you were studying for a college degree. The main difference when you enjoy what you learning it won’t feel like work even with no income.
It takes time to rank and gain traffic to your website. The make money online path will need you to be a problem solver. This means being committed to doing anything to make your first commissions online.
To fast-track, your success, find a mentor to learn from. This could be buying their courses, reading their books etc.
Can’t Afford College Or Don’t Have The Grades?
For many students, getting the grades to go to college and get that degree is difficult. Sometimes even more difficult for those who have the grades but just can’t afford to study further.
The great thing about internet marketing is that you don’t need a degree, good grades, or the very least a ton of money. Anyone, anywhere with any background can make a success online as long as they are passionate, hard-working, and diligent.
You hear many students complain about how difficult college is and the amount of work they have but make no mistake internet marketing also has its challenges.
The difference is that students who get their degrees end up working an average 9-5 job with a regular salary whereas someone who took their future into their own hands, could be earning enough to have financial freedom.
By this, they can travel, enjoy time with family and friends, have no college debt to pay off, and overall are happier people.
What makes a person successful is not the grade they got in high school or the degree they earned in college.
People should never be defined by what they have or haven’t achieved in their life.
Conclusion
To conclude, without a college degree, you can still start earning money online and do well.
One extremely important way to seize the opportunities of today’s digital economy is by becoming an entrepreneur.
This is both a more fulfilling way of living and it can make you much wealthier than a typical office job.
I would therefore recommend that, rather than go back to school, you learn how to start your own business and seize this great opportunity.
It’s true, money doesn’t take away your problems but it will make your life easier.
