More about focus here. I tell you something I hope you will remember, even a month from now. Once you picked out what your business is, and here we are going to call it building websites. That of course involves finding names, and seo, but mostly getting the sites built.
Today I spent too much time on domains, and honestly this site. I also looked at yet another offer. Another offer came out, and I need to see if the new version has updates, and if I get them. I need to write three people I chased down the whole, and I need the pellets I was chasing.
Decide how much time you are going to spend on your new hobby/business. Then decide what is the main thing that involves, even if its in parts. Lets say its to build your first site. If you have your domain and started a site, I would think that power block should be used until it is ready to be seen, on building that site. Looking for next name, or places you can link, all the things you need to do and learn isnt part of that power block.
You are alone at PC, and want to work on the site, but have other ideas, and want to add this or that, and plus you have the kids and phone…and and. Decide what is the main thing you need to do. Decide how much of your week is going to be spent on this, extra is great, but at least try to give it the time to set out. After you decide the time, I would say divide that in half, and one half of every work session is a power block of the main topic.
Lets keep this simple, you are going to give your new project 10 hours a week. And I would say you need to make 5 hours of that power blocks. In the first week, between design and writing, and finding images, your hands will be full. I can do an hour of focused work, but I dont really have to work it in, but stating focused on say just writing, one article for an uninterrupted is tough. I do know that after that one hour, it will be tough for me to really focus until I re—charge-or drain..whatever you get my point.
Things like images, you will need them, but I would suggest finding your source for images be something you decide, and in your work times, but not the power block find you some images for the articles you will be writing.
It is not hard to go down the rabbit hole looking for images, or making them.
I made that one, thinking about me, and it is closer to me today and most days than I would like to admit.
https://nightcafe.art/u/wirecreek Pretty good tool. I like playing with that tool, but I didnt make it as I write this.
Now you might be able to site down and build a good site from start to finish in 10 hours. Honestly if you find a few themes you like, find a source for images, and get AI to help you to write, I think you could do so in 4-5 hours.
I encourage you to learn and use AI, it is amazing, but be careful. Let it help but check its facts and rewrite it.
So the main take away set an amount of time you are going to devote to it a week. Half of that time will largely be learning, as if you are here you are likely just starting. So time you surf for needed details about building your site, but its sort of decent fun to someone somewhat interested in this. But half that time work on in blocks, the amount of work you can see at the end of two weeks, much of it will be done when you forced yourself to focus.
