Part time or full time?

[Ramster]

Full time and just finished lunch in front of the computer

Started part time in late 2000-early 2001 and went full time I guess 4 years ago now in late 2003.

How to go from part time to full time? Keep working! Keep submitting daily. Spend time on projects but always always always spend time FIRST on the thing(s) that make you money. Usually that is building and submitting a free site (or gallery). Diversify and expand.

started in bizz 2001 fulltime...wel fulltime, i believe bizz was my life, the most hours i ever worked without sleep was 36 hours......i remember the many days when i slept only 30 minutes on the sofa then get awake to get kids ready for school and then working again, many weeks i slept downstairs...just for 30 minutes and then work again and totally forgot i had also a hubby..i for my hubby, not many husbands would agree that their wife lives only for her netbizz (but hey , i took care of the household and kids and food, and building an income, i only forgot the part i was a married too with some guy) and forget that they have a working hubby too, now 7 years later i work less hours, maybe about 2 hours a day (sure i have work for 15 hours a day...but that an other story), i dont even manage anymore to work 23 hour for bizz in one day, i am getting to old for that, and with last years problems in private life i decide to change my life drasticly....still i am slowly getting back and notice that i still love bizz
My advice would be, bizz is cool but if you are married or have a girlfriend then dont forget your private life, your puter is addicted, realy it is, i have seen to many webmasters in bizz getting divorched because they spent more time behind the puter then with their spouses.
Also surf the net get on boards try to find out what is around in biz what more you can do to earn money otherwise then building free sites or galleries.
Make friends!!! get in contact with other webmasters and learn.
oh a final tip, get enough sleep

Guess you could say I'm full time. As in I dont have a real job. I go thru periods of working 16 hours a day and periods of working 30 minutes a day. Because of numerous personal problems in 07' things really took a shit. I basically worked on average of maybe 10 days a month from April to December. I've just in the last month have my personal life back on track and have been working 8-10 hours a day mostly 7 days a week. One good thing about this biz I found out this year is if you do have a personal crisis you can take a shitload of time off and the checks keep coming in as long as you pay the server bill. I've been an under acheiver in this biz for years. I've contemplated getting a real job the last few months, but realized what I make per hour online that I would be much better suited to just spend more time online There for a few years (2003-2006) I was working maybe 10 hours a month and making more than I could at any real job. Guess my mistake has been settling to easy, I need to be a greedy son of a bitch and bust balls on here so I can be pimp'n the bling, haha.

EDIT:
I should add that I've been at this in one form or another since '99. Quit my job in Jan of '00. I started off doing the old school CJ (circle jerk sites) pop up hells. They were shitty sites, but I was banking over 700/day by working 2 hours a day and by work I mean looking at traffic and sponsor stats. After those died off I realized I didnt know how to make money unless it was off some form of console and it took me from 2001-2003 to adapt, and I found my into TGP galleries.

My advice is if you are a part timer that wants to be full time is when you find something that works, find ways to do it more and better, and spend 90% of your time on that. Dont piss away hours and hours on shit that wont make you anything, thats another thing I have done far too much of.
