How hard do you work?

    Hi,
    I've been working on a bunch of sites for awhile (content for about a year?) and my question is how hard do you guys work at it? Do you work regular 8 hour days? Do you guys take weekends off? I would just like to know if I'm not getting enough from Adsense because I'm not working enough or if I'm not doing something else important.
    My goal is 100 dollars a day from all my sites by the end of September. Right now... I have 2 dollars a week. I've been focusing on keywords and backlinks.

    I work 3-5 hours per day on internet marketing and I do offline work which is usually 8 hours.

    You should try adding other streams of income to your websites like products you promote as an affiliate and see how that turns out.

    Once you get settled with internet marketing and seeing steady income then you can relax as you want.

    many marketers out here use to work very less and make huge $$$, and go for vacations,they enjoy life.

    I know one guy, makes hefty clcikbank commission and works less than 5 hrs per day.

    He goes for gym,goes for dating by finding girls online,travelling many more ..

    me too plannning to achieve the same.

    It depends for my self.. If I have some ideas I will spend countless hours online working. If my brain isnt producing anything then I go for drives and promote my stuff via vehicle advertising.

    I’m not working very hard, because there are so many things in life beside work.

    I usually work from 4-6 hrs per day unless I get distracted or got out for lunch. Sometimes I split it up betwen morning and evening so it gives me time to go play.

    Dear Sir,

    If you consider every day worked as a seed planted, you'll concentrate on the harvest instead of the work. :)

    You could also see time as part of your investment budget.

    Hope it helps.

    When I was working at my own business I worked 18 hours a day , 7 days a week. It continued till I felt so sick and tired that I decided to take a sabbatical and move on with life......

    I don't want to die working, much more to life than that.

    I work from the moment I wake up until I go to bed, almost 7 days a week. I'm very exhausted.
