For those who are earning satisfactory income from their blog/website how many hours per day do you invest in it?

Hi sgkul,

An average of 12 hours a day. It's been that way for years and I enjoy it that way. It's mostly quality time, which makes a big difference in productivity. The focus matters quite a bit.

I try to put in at least 2-3 hours per day. If time permits I can easily do 4-6 hours some days.

I work full time in my home based business. However, I devote all my time to to help everyone else in my team under me, so I am assisting alot of people now to grow their business, not just updating website's, my blog, posting in forum's, etc.

I spend between 7-12 hours a day, but take 2 half or almost full day's off each week.

My days vary as for as time goes. Some days I put in at least 2 and some days I can put in as much as 12. I take off when I need a break from the computer screen or have things I need or want to do that day.

As far as a month old blog, it depends on how well you have advertised it like any website or product. But any website, product, or blog, etc. will take a little while for people to catch on before it becomes popular.

So I would Advertise, Advertise, Advertise...

How much traffic do you have on that blog? And what kind of niche blog is it?

Some days only 30 minutes, but usually around 2 hours a day. I try to stick with a routine for 1 or 2 hours. This is time spent doing things that must be done.

It doesn't feel like work though because all the things that must be done are enjoyable to me. I write articles, make videos, do marketing. I admit some of my marketing steps, though simple, can be tedious. But when I check my Clickbank, PayPal, AlertPay, opt-ins, etc., it motivates me when I see the tasks have paid off.

After the "must do" projects are completed I still spend much more time on the computer because I enjoy it so much.

Hi there.

Well for me, its the initial set up of a website (generating content etc) which usually requires working into the early hours most nights. But after that i usually invest around 30mins per day per site. I've got five income generating sites in total, so about 2.1/2 hours per day.

Regards
Tom

fmccompany ,
I have a work at home blog and I get around 30-40 visitors each day. I have not advertised yet, but I do post on a forum and have the blog in my signature.

About 30 hours a week, but I have a full-time job as well.

I work long days but during the summer I flip my schedule often working at 2:00 AM-11:00 AM then taking the rest of the day off to swim or beach. The flex schedule is definitely the best even if the hours are still long.
