At first, working for yourself (I'm not talking online), usually amounts to longer hours and less pay than working for someone else. And that "you are your own boss bit..." doesn't really seem like it when you have people calling you at all times of the day simply because they forgot to re-enable their pop-up blocker after playing on pogo.com the night before. And if you manage to get some customers fairly quickly, you WILL need employees if you want to maintain your sanity, and having employees itself can be a full time job.

If you truly want to be your own boss - find your niche online. Whether it is adult, or mainstream mail-order or selling surplus Vans shoes on eBay :P
