When it comes to time, we are all sensative about it. Some of us work 8th hours and go to college, while others spend time blogging.

How much time do you spend blogging?

Why is it important to track your blogging time?

Few things I would like to share with you from my own experience about the time spent on blogging.

When I started this blog in april 2007 I spent about 18 hours almost every day, researching content writing content, building links and most important socialize. Now one year later I spend about 20 hours in one week!

Is that bad?

In my opinion you should prioritize your time and adjust it so that blogging does not impact your personal life. Downside of that is some people spend 20 hours a day for 3 years but I bet they have better ranking than you and I together.

What I am trying to say here is that if you are blogging and go to work and go to college you should not let one thing overlap the other. Set your time for college, for work and then blogging.

I know most of you would love to become famous and make money with your blog in less then one year, but in numerous of my posts I wrote that blogging isn’t easy. It requires a lot of patience, tactics and experience.

Here are few suggestions:

Writing 50 posts a week can be equal to writing 5 posts a week. So take your time write quality content not quantity content.

Spend at most 4-8 hours blogging that includes “socialize, build links, research content, write content”.

Once you feel that you could pay off all your financial needs from your blog, then you can spend more time to become even well known blogger as some bloggers are.

Excellent idea! Bloggers might treat their writing time as billable hours… there’s plenty of apps available to help bloggers keep track of their time per project.

If you are writing a personal blog, ranting, don’t think a lot of time needed to write post.

I spend much more time reading other blogs, comment, socialize and making friends. Making money from blogging is not a target at all.

So, it really depend on where you want to go when you start blogging.
