A Typical Day Of A Full Time Blogger

I get asked this question quite often by readers and customers is how much time must I spend to make money online. Therefore, I thought why not I just show you in great details what I do in just one day.

11am – Just woke up

The great thing I like about Internet business is the ability to wake up only when you have enough sleep! I know 11am may be shocking to many people but that’s because the previous day I worked on my online business till 4am that’s why

I would first go to toilet to wash up and get a hot cup of coffee and on my PC to check my emails. On a daily basics, I would receive about 300 emails which about 20 of them are questions by readers or customers requesting for help.

12pm – Replying Emails

By this time I only completed reading and replying about 150 emails and still reading and filtering away all the rubbish email, I get everyday.

1pm – My Mom Calls Me For Lunch

Great thing about working at home is my office is actually my home, and I always get to eat home everyday.. haha. During lunch I would just watch TV for an hour and relax for some time.

2pm – Continue to check email

At this point, I am still checking my emails and replying to emails. Once in while I would also chat with friends on Skype or MSN ( I love doing that : ) ).

3pm – Start writing on my blog

First thing I would do is to login in to my Wordpress control panel to clear all the spam messages and approve comments on my blog. I would spend about 30 minutes answering comments on the blog and at the same time looking for ideas what to write for today.

If I cannot find ideas, I would just surf around other blogs to look for ideas to post on my blog or just pick one of the many questions I received in my surveys and just answer them on the blog.

4pm – Getting the article on the blog done

At this point, I would most likely have finished writing the post, but if you have read my blog before I would spent another 30 minutes to create some graphics and drawing for my blog post here with my graphic tool. Once the blog post is done I would publish it online, and I would take a short break to play with my dog. My dog loves to go outdoors, so I would most likely go to the garden with my dog at the same time relax a bit

5pm – Back to my computer again

After posting of my blog post, I would go into forums and post articles and comments to drive traffic to my blog. I would normally post only about 2 to 3 forum post a day or sometimes just plain lazy just post 1.

While posting in forums, I would also spend some time reading on forums to learn new stuff online. In some days instead of reading forums I would also read people’s blog too to keep myself updated with the latest information online.

6pm – Prepare email broadcast to my list

After spent time creating the post, I would always like to inform my subscribers about the new post on my blog as I love to deliver really solid information for my readers. By doing this also I build lots of credibility online and that’s very important in your online business.

7pm – Work on my Atomic Blogging book

During this time I would look at feedbacks from customers of my Atomic Blogging book and continue to update the package and book with more content and software to help them in their blogging business. While doing that my mum would call me for dinner and as usual I would find time really flies when you working online.

8pm – Dinner time

During dinner, I would relax and watch TV with my parents.

9pm – Back to computer to update book

The strange thing about myself is once I get an idea what to write I would really spend lots of time writing non stop. After writing and updating my book for 2 hours I would really feel tired by now. I would just go to youTube or movie sites to enjoy a movie I would like to watch online.

10pm – Movie marathon

Sometimes I can watch online movies until 1am But well you always have to set a side time to relax, I guess.

11pm – Interview with Gurus

During the movie actually I am waiting for my overseas friends to be online as I do online interviews quite often online, and because I am 12 hours a head of them 11pm my time is their 11am their time!

Would spend about 1 hour on the interview and continue to edit the audio later on to be broadcast on to the blog which normally takes another 1 hour.

12am – Network with others on MyBlogLog

I love myBlogLog, and I would go in there everyday just to check out and make friends online in the network. I have done this quite successfully and have well over 682 members in my community There is a reason why I do this and that is to generate awareness for my blog and make more friends too.

1am to sleeping time – My itchy finger starts

Around this time I would spend lots of time to relax by playing my favourite game which is Dota All Stars in Warcraft. My nick is NeNo for those who play can find me there I would play game until maybe 4am or sometime 5am then I would go to sleep.

Summary

So that’s just a typical day of how I would spend my time online, I hope this gives you a better picture that to do blogging or online business you really have to spend lots of time in marketing, generating content, making friends, driving traffic and so much more.

If you are not getting results as you wish to, to be very frank you are just not doing enough to get what you want that’s all. I remember I spent well over 6 months on online marketing before I even received my first cheque!

At the beginning it may be very hard but WHO SAID IT WAS EASY by the way? What I promise is once you got at least the first US$100 coming in and about 1,000 in traffic coming in per month to your sites thing will start to get easier and easier as you go along.
