The hours you work now compared to a few years ago. - GoFuckYourself.com

Scott McD · 04-02-2013, 08:24 AM

Would you say you were putting in more hours now or less per day than you would have been say 3 or 4 years ago?

It's hard to work out the exact time spent actually working when you consider the amount of time each day spent fucking around, but i would say i do more now than i did a few years ago.

Working from home however has too many distractions sometimes...

candyflip · 04-02-2013, 08:30 AM

Much less. But I went from having no kids to having three in the span of 30 months.

sperbonzo · 04-02-2013, 08:32 AM

Hasn't changed all that much in the last 14 years in this business.... When one of the current project is up and running itself, I just start another one and add it to the list.

Sly · 04-02-2013, 08:34 AM

More. Always something to do, research, test, etc.

Start slacking, you start losing.

BlackCrayon · 04-02-2013, 08:41 AM

probably close to the same as a few years ago but a lot more than say 10-12 years ago.

Tom_PM · 04-02-2013, 08:43 AM

Pretty similar amount of time really, just doing vastly different things.

Sid70 · 04-02-2013, 08:43 AM

Being more professional nowdays I use my power to get more work done using same hours. But, must say, it was irregular 5 years ago, no it's almost everyday job.

truth...

plus need many more sites to make the same $, had only 2 sites in 1998 and they were like ATMs

Barefootsies · 04-02-2013, 09:16 AM

While there are still days/weeks/months where I am working on a new project and the hours are long, I would say in general the past 5 years I have worked less for any number of different reasons. There are times when we are working on something new, and it requires those old 12/18 hour days for a short period of time. But in general a lot less hours needed.

My business has changed, and expanded. I have hired people do to the repetitive webmaster sorts of tasks I used to do the bulk of my day. I have invested in a lot of automation, and my daily routine is varied now. I also think I work a lot smarter versus harder. Which taken as a whole has allowed me to go from brute manual labor and task master to a different role, hence cutting the hours and giving me weekends off.

The Porn Nerd · 04-02-2013, 09:20 AM

Far more because now I have 32 paysites and 4 years ago I started with 5, with 9 more coming this year.

But I also have employees now who do a lot of the "heavy lifting" for me which frees me to design more, add new projects, etc. So same amount of work, just differant work.

Fuck man, I'm always busy! LOL

Alice22 · 04-02-2013, 10:25 AM

Much more than a few years ago

What kind of tasks, can you share ?
This is something i try to do for a long time, but with a bad luck.

I remember a year or two ago on that green webmaster forum with loads of Indians, probably can't mention the name of it here, the one that got done for Cookie Stuffing. I saw your advert there, looked good, seems like you recruited well

CurrentlySober · 04-02-2013, 10:34 AM

A hell of a lot less... But I'm winding down into full retirement - I consider myself semi retired already.

_Richard_ · 04-02-2013, 11:12 AM

much much more

Jel · 04-02-2013, 12:11 PM

way, way, way more since getting google fucked. My own damn fault for coasting along on about an hour's work a week so I could keep up with important stuff such as my then active alcoholism, but meh, you live and learn

I actually think that weekends off are very important.

Didn't used to bother with them, but now i see it as vital you seperate your week days from your weekends...

I completely agree. Though I work out a 1 weekend off, 1 weekend on rule. You definitely need to unplug from your day to day stuff.....otherwise you can overwork yourself very easily.

Rebel D · 04-02-2013, 01:14 PM

prety much the same. but More enjoyable working for myself then that Other guy

Emil · 04-02-2013, 02:07 PM

Much less, I haven't worked for weeks. I need to start again soon....

harvey · 04-02-2013, 02:43 PM

Much less. But I had to slow down for health reasons.

And I increased production by stopping being stubborn and actually use help, so now we have a couple employees under payroll and a couple "on demand" and I just do whatever I find interesting and leave the more complicated or boring tasks to other people. So, while I sometimes work a lot, it's because I want to. However, most of the time I usually work 3-5 hours a day now

Black All Through · 04-02-2013, 02:45 PM

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm working a lot more now to make a little less then I was.

you shouldn't be ashamed, in 99% of cases it's true and just an objective fact. Even worse: there's people working lots and lots more and making A LOT less than before, and they simply have no options but to keep trying

Yup, I'm one of them.

ErectMedia · 04-02-2013, 05:57 PM

started in mainstream 2002, added adult in 2003, kinda faded away from adult for a couple years maybe 2006 and then brought it back, I work more today as I have held a nice mainstream .com portfolio so as the years go I try to pick out at least 1 gem a year and develop it as I have been gradually trying to equal out the mainstream/adult revenue. Have about 35+ developed sites today and 500+ undeveloped or for sale .coms from 1998-2013. Lot of my domain sales x,xxx-xx,xxx have financed my developed projects. My goal is basically continuous expansion so I reinvest most of the profits as I'll enjoy them later at a larger scale.
