    From the time I wake up till I go to sleep :p:

    Basically while I am not in classes or hanging with friends I am reading up on all the forums I got to to see if I can't push my site higher and make more money

    Yeah, same with me. I do it all day long basically -- it's my job. Writing content, managing the marketing strategies, finishing up loose ends, making new relationships, that's just how it goes -- all day long.

    Wow, me I can seriously say at least 14 hours per day everyday on average. Sometimes I get really motivated about adding a new feature to one of my sites and work for 25+ hours straight. It came to a point where the Doctor told me that I needed to rest more, but I am still going :p

    I am on the computer a lot... but I have been having trouble getting motivated lately, so the time spent doing development and content writing is "not enough" :(

    Normally the answer would be at least a few hours per day. I know it's a job and I have to take it seriously but I also have to remember that the whole reason I decided to pursue a career as a webmaster/AM (even though other's don't consider it a proper career) is the FREEDOM I have... so I don't complain when I have my moments of "writer's block". :)

    Why do you keep asking what do people "do"?

    They just told you.

    Besides, what everyone "does" is different. Some people have one site, some people have 100. Some people have help. Some people work alone. It all depends.

    What do you "dooo" all day?

    Well I was only asking, as I was wondering. And writing content could mean writing articles for those article sites, to get links back? "checking" stuff could mean anything etc

    :)

    I didn't mean for the post to sound mean or anything, I was just wondering why you asked twice.

    Eh, forgive me, I need to take a nap.

    I have a full time job during the day. I spend around 1-2 hours on my web business. I update my sites first thing in the morning (like 5 am) and late at night. Looking to do this full time in 2 months!

    I only spend about 1 hour managing, as I don't like sites which weigh me down, I can get away with 10 mins managing if I wanted.
    About 2-8 hours thinking about new sites, marketing ideas and new opportunities though.

    Depends on the day, from dawn until dusk is not uncommon. Other times I can take off for a week with no big deal.
