Life as a web promoter can be a very cushy one, choosing your own hours and working at a time that suits you. I have worked in this field for the last decade and in this time I have helped a great many people. In this article I am going to describe a typical day that I would have a few years ago(before the wife and kids arrived). I love my current life however I do sometimes miss those happy quiet days when I could do what I wanted to when I wanted to.
I am working for eight companies and it is the year 2000. They have contracted me to promote their websites with the view of gaining a higher search engine ranking position and to increase their overall profits.
I have learnt rather a lot about SEO and web promotion up to this point mainly from reading the views of the established specialists from the industry.
I would usually work between 11pm and 3am is this is when my concentration seemed to be at its best.
This would be my typical day:
7am – This is the time that I would normally wake up; I would clean my teeth and go to the toliet before going back to bed.
10am – It is now time to start my day, out comes the laptop and we are in business. At this stage I am merely going to check my e-mail; the news, the stock market and read through a couple of sites that I like to keep an eye on such as seroundtable.
10.20am – I phone the DVD replication company to check if the discs that I have ordered about stammering advice are ready. I also have a quick check on the net to see if I can find any cheap hotel deals.
10.10.30am – It is now time for my breakfast – a nice piece of toast. It is time for a relax after all it has been a hectic morning!
1.20pm – I could do with some exercise therefore I decide to walk to the shops to buy a paper.
2pm – I drive to the tennis club as I have arranged to play a game with a good friend of mine.
6pm – I eat my evening meal which would normally consist of pasta or chicken and rice.
8pm- I quickly check my e-mails in a short break from watching the t.v. I speak to a good friend of mine on the telephone who is arranging a service for me where by I will be able to make cheap calls.
11pm – It is time to get to work – to obtain those all important backward links and to ensure that the clients websites are still positioned/ranked within the top ten of Google for their main keywords.
3.20am – I head off to gain some much deserved sleep.
