I know you read and write a lot… I have come down on reading and time spend on blogging mainly due to the demanding job and responsibilities at home… the kids are still too young so.

Okay, yes, I'm a blogtrotter. Luckily, though, I leave most of my blog trotting for later in the evening, when I feel I've earned some kind of break for putting in a long day.That's why I'm catching up on your blog this evening. lolMitch´s last blog post... Social Media Webinar Now For Sale

@Raju, I was one and I intentionally cut down the time spend online and on blogging. However, whenever the work pressure reduces, I might spend more time blogging

I usually reserve a specific time for blog networking building per day. Usually its between 1 to 2 hours where I read all new updates and what bloggers and commented at replied etc. Just like am doing right now

That’s true…But believe we spend good amount of time in building the blog into good shape. Then it will earning

It’s my opinion

These days I spend only one hour per day on blogging and every third day or so probably two hours (when I post)

Basically, if I post today, I moderate comments the following day and reply to comments only on second day. As for the money part, it is not much… I make only about 150-200 dollars per month. ~60 from private ads, ~60-70 from AdSense and rest from paid reviews, referral links etc. Basically, when I was spending 5 hrs a day on blogging, I was getting much the same…then I thought, why spend time unnecessarily without much returns

At the moment, having a secure job in IT is a difficult thing and it needs more attention so…

I don’t get half. But getting 1/4 now….

I took it as a long term commitment and investment. But i believe it will help to earn double the full job salary

BTW you didn’t told how much time you spend and how much you get

@Kim, are you a cake lover?

From your consulting profile, I can understand that you have to do a lot of research – perhaps more for learning (for consulting?) and less to blog. Probably you are not really a blog trotter because you must be using your time more productively

@Ramesh, I presume that you are a highly organized person when it comes to time management! You post strictly once per three days and I guess do not spend too much time just for blogging or reading too many blogs! Good balance!

@Lee, 3-5 hours is a good time to spend on blogging and ‘related’ activities. I used to spend 4-5 hours on blogging earlier but now strictly about an hour a day max.

@Arun, you are one! and most people in your age group are blog trotters as well

@Lax, 5 hours is a good amount of time to spend! However, do you get at least half of your main job’s salary via blogging? (Unrelated but trying to understand if you are blogtrotting or actually making good returns out of it for spending that much time)

@Shanker, four hours a day is quite something for blogging. You must be getting good returns

@Nihar, I agree that you are not a blog trotter.. your commenting profile is not really huge and I don’t see you too much on SocNets

@Richael, so we have a non-geek blogtrotter here Good luck with your ambitions of becoming an internet marketer…but be what you are…enjoy your offline lifestyle!

@Jacques, great to see one more blog trotter here

@Sandeep, Good luck to you to make a career out of blogging/internet 60 hrs a week sounds like me during the initial stages of my career!

Thank you all for your views!

Considering I work around 60 hrs a week, i would not consider myself as a blog trotter

But would love to make a living of the internet… Hopefully someday, after all the world lives on hope

Cheers

I do frequent a lot of blogs, and a great deal of my world view is constructed from the information I glean off these blogs, so I like the blogtrotter word. Time for our language to be modernized some more!

Hehe Ajith, I guess you intertwined a bit of humor in this post too. Although you did not coin the word BlogTrotter, I guess you did that with blogssary and it also rhymes with your surname.

On topic, although I read 100s of blogs per day and aim to become a internet marketer one day, I still prefer an offline lifestyle that is full of adventure and excitement, and does not involve sitting in front of the computer whole day. May be I am a BlogTrotter, but not a geeky one

The word “Blogtrotter” is new to me. In fact, I’m not a Blogtrotter and not going to become Blogtrotter too. I have to continue my full time career as a Quantity Surveyor for my whole life, blogging will be my part time.
I spend about 3-5hours per day in blogging, blogging tasks including read others blog, writing article, checking stat, and etc. Anyway, I enjoy blogging and will not stop doing this, at least for now.

Conclusion is… I’m not a BlogTrotter!

Lee
