That is true. I was hoping just one day I could work less.

LOL

I rarely work that much in a day. Those days are past.

Don't you take time to examine the porn you're putting on your site? Writing titles, descriptions, making thumbs, etc to make sure the content is good, and makes your surfers wanna buy?

Or do you just throw a spam blog up and call it a day?

$5 submissions · 12-15-2009, 01:13 PM

It doesn't feel like work since I love what I do

AmeliaG · 12-15-2009, 01:43 PM

I'd like it if my long days were more rewarding than they are in this sucky economy, but I kinda like working.

Agent 488 · 12-15-2009, 01:45 PM

i do designs only. on demand. i charge 4 times less then the top notch ones, go from there.

Sid70 · 12-15-2009, 02:13 PM

the whole idea behind the internets bis used to be workign half a day within a week and then living like a full time working brotha for the rest of the month. If i had no family i would still be able to do it.

So you're one of those designers who thinks because they are good at designs, they can throw up a simple site, some text on it, and be raking in the money just as if it was 1998 again?

Why do business with someone who hates their work?

in porn I TOTALLY agree with this.

nothing turns me off more than the people who go - it's JUST about the money.

I have no problem making money, but I find it funny that a designer thinks he can make the best site in the world and be raking in cash by the end of the week, just to find out they will fail hardcore and end up back to strictly designing again...

i dont think i can. i know my niche and i know my pro level. and i know my pricing. i just have chosen wisely the palce to live in and pay less.

Zester · 12-15-2009, 03:27 PM

what's the point of this thread?

datatank · 12-15-2009, 03:33 PM

Yup I got sick of it year or so ago.

Will never ever do it again.

Life is way to short for that bullshit.

Its funny I really used to think all that stuff mattered. In reality I have found that you MIGHT increase conversions by 5% but you never will clone yourself so I find it better just to hire more and put out average stuff.

Sly · 12-15-2009, 04:35 PM

Not yet. It's a lot easier when you are working towards something. If you were just working 13 to work 13... that would be tough.

Argos88 · 12-15-2009, 06:11 PM

If you do all the work yourself yes you will work that much and in the end is the best you can do.

Those hiring other webmasters because they are lazy to do the hard job, always end bad. Those webmasters they hire finish learning everything, and then do their own biz and increase serious competition. It's obvious that is going to happen in the end, but some people are so "naive" that they can't see that coming.

datatank · 12-15-2009, 08:02 PM

It just is not healthy to work that much in front of a computer. We are all old now days and when you combine that with the drinking, smoking and partying you are not looking at a very long life..

I hope you all wise up and enjoy a happy and healty life

Loch · 12-15-2009, 08:13 PM

I never work that many hours, and for the most part not weekends either.
There is no need to work that much for anyone if you structure your days properly!

What an utter stupid comment LOL
So you are basically saying that having employees is not only being lazy but dumb as well.

When I get on a roll with something I can gladly sit in front of the monitor for 18 hour days for days on end. I get that way when I startup new projects that excite me, or I feel have a lot of potential.

I don't really overwork myself too hard anymore. Fuck it. A few hours of actual work a day at most keeps me reasonably comfy and thats all that matters to me. I don't need to be ballin' ass rich, I need to be comfortable.

Change is good, you are just getting burned out by all the Tube Sites and lack of sales for the amount of hours you put in.

You've learned this all since what, sept 2009?

Fucking people....

Oursource, outsource, outsource, and automate...

Putting the money you're making back into your business might seem like a goofy little idea when you're first starting out, but god damn does it make life a lot nicer. If you want to make some money, you're gonna have to learn to scale shit sooner or later, and if you think you're gonna carry that weight on your shoulders by yourself forever, you're gonna run yourself right into the ground...

You totally missed the point, did you even read the post?

Try to read the post next time before doing stupid commments like that, makes you look so bad, specially your business.

Selling, or should I say "giving away" so many dvds and pics in a desperate move to make some bucks in adult is not a great deal, don't you think so?

I read it. If I was in the mood I would point out each individual item that was incorrect, but I would rather start a fire and watch a movie.

Suffice it to say, after the first sentence, there was nothing correct. It all went downhill.

BillyHoe · 12-15-2009, 10:47 PM

Who counts how many hours they work..lol I gave up looking at the clock years ago.I do what needs to be done in the time it takes. If it turns into an 18 hr day well so be it. If it turns into an eight hour or less day then great. An important thing to remember is we're in an industry that never sleeps. It's always 5 o'clock somewhere, and there's always someone to please. So the more you please the more you make. I enjoy what I do and enjoy the lifestyle I live, at the end of the day that's what should matter. Regardless of how many hours it takes.
