One of the benefits of doing online work is that you can work from anywhere that you can get an Internet connection. You should not mistake this for believing that the Internet work that you do in one place is the same as you might do in another. Individual jobs can vary significantly from one place to the next even when the work is done on the world wide web.

A friend of mine learned this the hard way. She had been living in New York and doing Internet marketing for a company there. Then her husband got a job in Tampa so they relocated. She figured that it would be easy to do internet marketing in Tampa.

Indeed, she did find that it was pretty easy to get a job there based on her experience. However, the work turned out to be a lot different. For example, putting together an email marketing strategy in Tampa was a lot different from when she’d done it in New York. In New York, she emailed all of the different businesses relevant to the company that the promotion was for. In Tampa, her employer only wanted her to email businesses that they had some familiarity with from previous work. Although it was a minor difference, it meant that she had to learn new strategies for the job even though she was still working entirely online.
