Number of hours worked

[tongyun]

You always hear how someone who is self-employed with a brick and mortar business works more hours than someone who is employed. Is that true with online businesses or can you reach a point where your business is on cruise control?

 

[jamesb]

The business never goes on cruise control. It could be somewhat with Adsense sites but‌ you still need to take care of SEO, fresh content, advertising etc.

I think that there is a big difference between the owner of the business⁤ and the employed person. Surely the owner works more hours than someone who is employed⁣ especially at the starting stage of the business. I'm sure that this statement has to⁢ be applied both the online and offline business.

We'll usually the business starts cruising if it has a very hard foundation, but if‌ you are still starting this business you will to have to work overtime to make‍ it successful

The working hour for many people right now surpasses 9.Even when they return home from‌ work,they are thinking how to gain more ,while they neglect their health,that;'s the point...

People think that self employed person works less. That's not right. Most of them work‌ so hard to maintain their business. Even a successful website owner has to work to‍ maintain their website, adding fresh and unique content, etc. The good things is they can⁠ have flexible time to work.

Hard Work For Self Employment

When you are a employee you will work in scheduled‌ time and you will go home when your shift completes. But for a owner not‍ like that. He have to gain something from that business. So he has to work⁠ hard for many hours to get more success. Being a worker is easier than being⁤ a owner.

good distinguish

It is true that owner works more in starting stage of business. but after long time⁤ he could reduce its number of working hour. Even he work lesser time than his⁣ employee.

Like in the brick and mortar business, you will need to put in some extra‌ time on your online business. Once that you have grown it then you may work‍ less hours, if you can afford someone to do the job for you then hire⁠ some people.

Basically there is no difference between offline or online business in terms of working hours.Person‌ who manages or own a business generally works more hours than those who are employed.But‍ it is at initial stage of business set up.Once you are established you need not⁠ have to work always that way.Even in brick and mortar business,the same theories applies.Once your⁤ mortar and brick business is perfectly established ,you need not have to work more than⁣ the employees as you can hire a perfect person to oversee the your supervision.
