How much do you actually work?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how many hours you guys actually work every day (plus saturday sunday?) and how much money do you make approximately every month.

Also it would be interesting to know what country you're living in (to see if it's easy or now to earn more selfemployed than in a company).


Myself, I still have a fulltime job, so at the moment I only work on my own stuff when I get home (so only a couple of hours per week). Since I just started I have only made 20 Dollar in one month with YT marketing. This week I'm planning to start with paid traffic.

I'm European but I currently live in Colombia, so wages are really low (I'm gonna be honest, I earn around 1200 Dollar net/month, which is low, but not bad at all for Colombia) and it would be kinda easy to earn more selfemployed than having a fulltime job.

Looking forward to your answers

    I work at the PeerFly office from 8-5pm Monday-Friday and work on my own side stuff usually 3-4 hours at night. It depends on what's going on over the course of the weekend, but I'll usually put a few hours in then too.

    Some days I'll do 12 hours if I'm working on a big project.

    Others I'll do 30 minutes.

    But don't kid yourself, if you want big money you are going to have to put in a TON of hours, MORE then any job. I can do slower days because I did the long days for years to get where I am now.

    The fallacy of internet marketing is you can work 20 minutes and make millions. That's complete crap. The 4 hour work week is a smart entrepreneur who split tested headlines on adwords to find what people wanted most then wrote a book about how to do it. It put so many in the completely wrong mindset though.

    You get what you put in.

      Yea I know it takes a lot of work, the problem is just I can't quit my job to devote more time to my own stuff before I see some success at least. I just couldn't afford that financially. How did you manage that?

    How much of that time is spent actually doing something though
    For example split testing a page
    put up two pages to test and let them stand for 12 hours
    Do you count that as 12 hrs work

      Nope, just the actual work

    I work about 50 hours a week. All random. I make enough to buy chewing gum and a soda 2 times a week.

    Depends on where I'm at with my projects, could be anywhere from 3 hours to 12 hours a day.

    Depends on what projects iam working on but between 3 and 14 hours everyday Monday to Sunday.

    I suppose the good thing about having products and services are money is always coming in even when I am not working.
