The first 2 weeks that I was in the industry (last july 2005), I worked 112 hours for a 7 day week doing the actual site work and built a 500 page site. It was 16 hours of work and 8 hours of sleep each day. This may sound like nuts, but I was in a gold fever when I first started and was totally energized each day and when i went to sleep, i couldnt wait for the next day to start so I could work on casino stuff and build more pages again all day. I stopped doing that when I got my first depositing player and took a break, expecting that more people would deposit or at least visit my site. During my break, I read more stuff on CAP and I learned that google put me in the sandbox and I had to wait half a year to a year until I got out, so that killed my motivation and its like I turned into a big pig in a hamper. Now I spend all my time watching the forums on CAP, learning, playing casino games all the time with fake money since I have no real money lol! and going to school too (maybe that killed my motivation lol). I probably now spend less than an hour a week working on the websites, and every few weeks ill go on a small hot streak and put in 10 hours or so. Currently, I am sensing that my pig is peeking out of the hamper and my site is coming out of the sandbox, so this summer I will have more time to do stuff and may start doing huge amounts of hours into the site again, since i also sense my gold fever coming back with a small whale I got just days ago! Now Im wishing I wasnt so lazy all year, don’t let the google sandbox demotivate you.
