It is not good idea to quit your offline job if doing online business does not affect it. Both of them should be done alongside together.
While doing offline job, you could use proceeds from it to run your online business. The result of online business is not as instant as you might imagined. Passive income earned might not be sufficient enough for your daily activities, that is why you don't need to quit your offline jobs while doing online business.
You may even need your working place to market your online business.

Na, That will be a very bad move unless the job is too hard for you its better to keep it or switch to an easier offline job while doing your online job. Online job are not always consistant there can be a time you will be without anything to do and its where offline job are helpfull. Vice Versa.

I know of a Nigerian friend that was working as a school teacher and earning NGN22k. When converted to dollars, that is about $50. He resigned and focused on forum jobs. He now makes $90 every month even as some forums he was on like postbucks and trendri have closed down.

I would never quit an offline job you have for an online job that you may be working in your spare time unless I knew for sure that the online job you have would make you enough income to be able to live on.

All too often people jump to working online and from home and quit their offline job because they would much rather work from home than have to head out every day to work. This usually results in them not making enough to live off and they end up struggling.

You must always consider your financial stability before making a drastic decision like this.

Unless you really hate the offline job, I think it is advisable to keep your current job while starting an online business. Your offline job gives you a stable income. You may also save some money and invest it in your online business.

I think it is fine for me. Since I am working at home, I still prefer to be working online while doing my business online. I am doing both for almost 2 years now.

Yes it is good to keep both as a passive earners. You would be using one to support the other one.
You don't need to quit your offline job unless you are convinced that your online business can sufficiently sustain you and your family. And in your attempt to intensify more in your field, then you can decide to quit your job.

Offline jobs that pay something reasonable is not what someone can quit for online work. But some offline jobs are not worth it and they are waste of time and waste of energy.

I wouldn't even advise anyone to quit his or her business for online business, because it might not be stable, and sometimes due to some factors, because something you might not have electricity to power up your system or one or two things may occur.

The decision to stop working for an online business should be based on individual circumstances, including financial stability, risk tolerance, and personal goals. Before making any such decision, it is advisable to lay a solid foundation and check the viability of your online business.

It depends on you, if you feel you are earning enough from your online jobs, and your offline job is getting in the way then you have every right to quit it and focus online. Personally i would advice you not to quit it though. There is notting wrong with you having multiple sources of income.

There is no guarantee that you will make money from your business, there is no guarantee that your business will succeed. However your job will at least give you an income.

At first you will need to build an earning channel online yourself before considered quitting your offline job for online,doing work online is very profitable if you have build a wealth source

Yeah online works could be very profitable and they can be worked from anywhere all we need is smart device and internet, but the bad thing about online works or jobs are that they don't have any guarantee for us like the offline jobs.

I strongly recommend that never even think about to quit your job for online earning. Because there are so many positive aspects of offline job as one remain in moving condition so his health condition remain good as compared to when he try to work from home.
