David’s Answer

Hello Amelia, when I was chasing assignments, the bulk of my time was spent marketing my services to anyone I wanted to shoot for. I am a freelance photographer and as such I was always looking for new clients. So 80% of my time was spent marketing, 20% was spent actually using a camera. I would say I spent around 30 hours a week on my photography, on average. Now that I am retired, I spend about 30 hours a week working on a coffee table book about a cattle ranch. I hope to have that project ready for the printer around the end of June. Again, I spend 20% of my time shooting for the book with the other 80% editing, organizing images and looking for a publisher.
How many hours you work really depends on you. What do you want to accomplish and how hard do you want to work.

Cheryl’s Answer

As a digital marketing manager working for a financial tech company, I am working at least 45-50 hours a week. It depends on the role/responsibilities you manage and/or the workload you have.

Jessica’s Answer

Hi there! This is a tough one to answer because it's going to depend on the project I'm working on at the time. I am also in the process of making this my full time income so that means I am still working a full time "day job" until that happens. So there could be weeks where this is all I do as soon as I am done with that job, so 5 hours a night. But I will say, there is a definite difference for me putting in that time doing something I adore and am passionate about, the time feels different. I hope this helps!
