A Day in the Life of a Full Time Blogger

I have met several people who are harboring a horribly distorted fantasy of what the life of a full time blogger entails. Some seem to think that they will sit down for 20-40 minutes a day, string together a few phrases and words, click “post” and VIOLA. The day of work is done.

Reality is quite different. Don Miller over at the “Make Money Make Sales” blog shares how he’s spending his time now that he’s a full time blogger in the post , BANS Adjusting For Success or Do Nothing And Fail

My day usually starts with a check to make sure my 100 + sites are live and doing what they are supposed to do. I spend a few hours commenting and getting links for those sites. Let me say this, there is nothing fun about getting links, at least that I can find, so I fire up iTunes and go get them. I usually write 10-12 posts a day for my various niche blogs and work a few trends blogs.

Did you catch that?  100 + sites… 10-12 posts a day… getting links.  Blogging is truly not a “get rich quick” endeavor… however, Don admits that he’s having the time of his life.

Making money either online OR off line is only easy if you LOVE what you’re doing.  If you spend your weekend blogging instead of golfing, fishing or swimming at the beach, then by all means… dig in and learn what being in business online is all about.

However, if you think you’re going to become a 6 Figure Full Time Blogger because you have 3 posts on your blogger account… well, think again.  Full time income usually requires full time effort.  However, when it’s something you LOVE to do anyway (as Don obviously does), then spending 12-15 hours a day having fun is a GREAT way to spend your days and nights!
