Yesterday I started talking about 'how I do my SEO' marketing. Today I wanted to talk about my schedule. Yes, I do have one. Just because I work from home doesn't mean that I don't run it like a business! I start first thing in the morning (I don't sleep much) by getting my computer work done before anyone else wakes up. This saves me from getting distracted, as well as being able to have the quiet of the house!!! Here is a sample 'work day' for me....
- 430-600 computer work for the day - includings, edit and list new creations, post days posts via my programs, followup with any orders or questions, check in on ALL my social media sites, answer emails, etc.
- 600-730 get kids ready for school/day
- 800-1200 beading, mini photo shoot, listings, etc
- 1200-100 lunch house hold chores
- 100-300 beading, mini photo shoot, listings, etc
- 300-500 household chores and time with kids
- 500-700 dinner, household chores and time with kids and hubby
- 700-900 kids baths, bed and finish any household chores
- 900-1030 quiet time with hubby and/or beading
- 1030-400 sleep - with luck!!
That is a general guideline, but I do try to make it close to that. There are some days that I don't have time to do any beading, but most days I try to get in about 4-8 hours of Krafty Max Original time. This is very important if you want to be able to consider what you do as something other than a hobby. There is a big difference between people who just create on the side and do it just to make a little extra and those who do it as a full time job! I create because I love to, however, for me, this is a full time business that has basic office hours and even financal reports!
How do you run your hobby/business?? Do you have tips for me and my readers??
