If You Don't Make 6 Figures A Year.... Here's How

[xposed]

I had an idea and wanted to see if it would get any traction here...

If you are not currently making six figures a year, please tell me what your hour by hour breakdown is per day (what you do), and I will consult it here and tell you what you need to change/what you need to be doing to push over 6 figures a year.

Go ahead and try me, post your hour by hour breakdown of what you do :-)

Let's have some fun,

^what? no SQL at all???


Wake-Work-home 7am-5pm
Stuff-webstuff-funstuff. 5pm-11pm
Sleep 11pm-7am
Repeat( 5 days)(for other two days extract 'wake-work-home' and replace with greater percentages of 'stuff-webstuff-funstuff')

I manage to stuff a lot of stuff into my day

He didn't mention breathing either, but I think both come naturally to Rudy

The definition of a day is very vague in my schedule - it's one long day really, but if there's any pattern it is:

Wake up randomly between 8am-3pm (depends on when I went to sleep)
8am-6am - Do stuff (which often includes sleep too)
Go to sleep randomly between 12pm-6am (depends on when I got up)


P.S. Wish I could get away with 3 hours of sleep like Rudy!

4:30 pm -- go for long walk

8:00 pm -- supper, check sitepoint forums, delete spam

That's like a 15 mile walk

[WickedGoddess]

what only 3 hours to sleep?

[r937]

we seniors tend to have short nights, but we nap a lot to make up fo.... zzzzzzz

[akritic]

.. I wish I could get my body to agree to less sleep, but it does not obey!

[RyanReese]

Yea. We don't have a parking permit to get to the school (effing school admins) so we have to get there before 7 because he won't be out there before 7. School starts at 7:25. I have to be in homeroom by then.

[Jake Arkinstall]

xposed, when are you going to come back and analyze some of these responses?

i am oh so very anxious to see how you would push my income to 6 figures (hopefully in real dollars, not yen or rupees or bahts)

[conradical]

xposed.. I bet if you stopped posting at sitepoint you can push 7 figures.

This post right here cost me $1000.

Same lol...I don't think a fast food restaurant will push me above 6 figures .

He will probably say something about "win the lottery"

Don't say that else SitePoint might end up like expert(s-ex)change and end up charging people for questions answered and that would be unethical in my opinion.

[RyanReese]

It would be hilarious actually. I would actually take a job here answering questions...it'd be nice to earn some money off it lol.

[AlexDawson]

RyanReese, thinking about it, there is actually some potential here. Maybe someone should take the idea to the SitePoint staff to perhaps create a "premium" section to which individuals could get assistance from the regulars here (perhaps with some benefit over standard Q/A). I mean SitePoint would make some money from subscriptions and we would get a cut of the payment

[RyanReese]

Lol go suggest it to the staff then...
