INTERNET MARKETING

Do you work that day?
Do you spend money?

What do you do?

Or its better simply to lie off instead of trying to make some extra $ ?

Yep!

Nope. I don't work holidays. I just poke around online a bit, check email, delete spam.

Happy Easter.

  One of the great things about Internet Marketing is you can make money whether you worked that day or not.
  
  I set up several AdWords campaigns almost a year ago. And every day they still earn me money. It requires me no further work.
  
  Thanks

I always work, weekends, holidays, even if it's only checking my mails and doing urgent customer service work. I don't think I can remember the last day I didn't do any work at all. Oh wait, I can, I didn't work when I was on my honeymoon 2 years ago.

I work 7 days a week. Really, I do not consider it work. Some people like to fish or play video games as hobbies. I like to do internet marketing. So really, I dont work everyday, I just play around with a hobby that happens to make me money.

You call this work?

If I enjoy my job, then it is not work.

I took Friday afternoon and evenings off now, so I don't feel a need to take all of the holiday off, although I will take some time off later today.

trishworks4u 15 years ago

I take about 1 day off a week (and not really even a full day) - nothing to do w/ holidays. Sales are certainly down on days like today but that doesn't have correlation w/ my "to do" list.

...and I don't think of this much as "work" either. I absolutely love what I do. In the moments that I don't, it just means that maybe I need a quick nap.

  Weekends and special holidays like Easter, etc are for
  people who live in the land of 'tick tock' working a job.
  
  I'm an entrepreneur and work when I want to. If I feel
  like working on Easter - then I bloody well will do.
  
  Equally, if I feel like goofing of on any day this coming
  week then I will.
  
  I love what I do and work is play and play is work and
  time sometimes disappears.
  
  I'd much rather be doing what I'm doing than clocking
  on and off for a jerk of a boss waiting to live on the
  weekends and holidays.
  
  Tip: If you want to be successful, look at what the
  masses do - and DON'T do it. In fact, go in the exact
  opposite direction!
  
  Dedicated to mutual success,
  
  Shaun

Every day is work day. In fact the best days to work are those when most people are taking them off. Consider this. We market products globally. Easter is not the same for most parts of the world. Same with Xmas and other "US" holidays.

  Unless I am doing something with friends and family I keep my own hours. Most folks who go to work do groceries in the evening right after work or on the weekends. So, I go grocery shopping during the day. They take long weekends on national holidays, I take them on other days.
  
  Also just because sales slows down a bit during holidays, doesn't mean I can't plan/prep/work on my business.
  
  Thanks

I take the holidays off and generally spend time with immediate family and close friends. Normally, I'm very flexible about which days off I take for my "weekend" and not always together nor limited to the standard two days. (Just one of the many, many perk of being in this business!)

  Well, sometimes I spend time on my computer on holidays, but its does not feel like I'm working. Working is a task that you have to do. I have a business and I spend long hours in front of the computer, it doesn't feel like I'm working.
  
  Working to me is getting up and traveling to the city and dealing with the large crowds trying to get to the office on time.
  
  When I get up in the morning everyone in the house is asleep and its nice and quiet. All I have to do is turn on the coffee pot and I'm ready to go etc.
  
  I don't do anything on Christmas.
  
  P.S. I spend money all the time.
  
  Thanks

Depends on my mood that day..

But usually I don't but spend time with family members instead. After all, I'm doing things online just to have more time with my love ones. So, don't lose track of your main objective.

Of course, everybody has their own priority.. that's just me

I work when I want to and if I want to work on Christmas or another holiday, I do. If I don't want to, I don't. But if I don't want to work on any other day of the year, I don't. That's one of the reasons I'm in business for myself. I do what I want to do.
