When it comes to working online a lot of people think that they're just going to be waking up and collecting checks, but that's not the case at all. It takes a lot of work and you can get burnt out pretty quick so you need to take a few breaks every day in order to keep your work going full throttle. The online marketing world isn't all champagne and caviar, it's hard work and long nights to get minimal success. The best thing about this minimal success or phenomenal success is that you don't have to answer to a boss, and that's why a lot of us started working online in the first place 
So what is it like in the day of an Online Marketer?
Wake Up
Depending on when I go to bed the night before, I could be waking up at 6am or noon lol. Usually I'm working at night and If I'm falling asleep after 2am I'll tend to sleep in til 10am to 12pm which is the normal 8 hours of sleep which anyone needs. If I fall asleep before midnight then I'll usually wake up between 6am and 9am depending on if I want to sleep in or not.
If my daughter is in school then I have to wake up at 7am regardless of when I'm going to bed at night. Usually I try to be in bed before 12am and awake at 7am, but that doesn't always happen. There have been plenty of times I've been up til 3am and awake at 7am to bring my little girl to school by 8am. Now if we all can do some basic math we know that's only 4 hours of sleep, and I know that I personally can't function to my fullest potential with just 4 hours of sleep. When I drop off my little girl at school I will get back and walk the dog, but as soon as that's done I will get a 2 hour nap in and wake up at roughly 10:30 or 11am and begin my day.
Work Out
If my girlfriend is going to be off the next day I will usually go to bed early because I know she will want to work out in the morning after we bring out little girl to school and walk the dog. I actually love working out because it keeps me healthy and in shape. I usually have a lot of energy since I'm healthier and the added stamina comes in handy when needing to work long hours
We tend to work out for an hour in the morning and then come home, so it will be roughly 11am at this point and I will either take a nap or get to work. If you haven't caught on, I love my naps
Begin Working
When I eventually do sit down to start working, it's a grind fest of many things in order to be successful. Normally I will start off answering emails that have come in over night just to stay on top of any potential client and current client emails so no one gets upset for me not responding in a timely manner. This has shown ton increase my profits since I am answering any emails within and hour or two of receiving them and the client loves that. I usually won't answer emails when I'm at the gym because it will be sporadic since I'm not looking at my phone the whole time.
After the emails I will get to setting up any campaigns that are needing to be processed that day. This varies widely depending on what my clients are needing for that day but it usually revolves around content creation, backlink building, on page optimization, etc. Anything that has to do with online marketing, I'm probably doing it at least a little bit at this point lol.
Taking a Break
After a few hours of setting up campaigns and getting everything in order I will take my lunch break. This is usually around 12pm (noon) or 1pm depending on if I worked out or not. If I worked out it will be around 3pm because I like to get lunch with my daughter and hear about her day, or what she's willing to tell me other than "We did stuff all day long" lol.
I will usually take around an hour lunch because sometimes it will take me 15 to 20 minutes just to get where we want to eat that afternoon and another 20+ minutes to eat and then drive home. Now this doesn't always work as planned because we end up talking too much and we're out to lunch for 90+ minutes. But it's a good time and I'm with my little girl so I don't mind taking a few extra minutes to laugh with her
Second Stretch
On my second stretch I will begin by answering any emails that have come in since my first wave of emails in the morning. I will usually have some responses from the emails I sent out in the morning and some new inquiries. I won't prioritize the new inquiries like most people do because I feel like I will just get out of place when answering everything, and that has happened in the past and I lost a sale because of it
After answering any emails that have come in I will check the campaigns set up in the prior days to make sure everything is going well. If I have a VA working on anything, this is when I'll contact them to make sure they're doing what they're suppose to be so that I don't have to fire them and find someone else who is more capable lol.
I will then start working on any new websites we're trying to launch for ourselves in order to increase our profits. This is more of an R&D step which is crucial because if you're not working on something new and innovative then you're just going to get left behind
Take a Break
At this point it's probably between 5pm and 7pm and I'm beginning to get hungry or tired. I will either make dinner or get some pop or a red bull in order to help me push through the final hours of being an online marketer. Usually we do the dinner thing unless I had a late lunch, but that doesn't happen too often.
Final Push
When I'm in the final push stage of my day I am beginning to get burnt out from everything I've been doing. This stage of my process usually starts right after dinner when everyone is in the living room and I'm sitting at the table with my laptop (the living room table). We tend to watch a movie or show at this point and I'm just waiting for my lady to say "When are you going to be done for the night" which means "Get off your laptop already and join us" lol
The final push is just closing up any emails that had responded since the last time. I will answer any questions and let them know that I'm logging off for the night and will answer any responses in the morning.
If my lady and daughter go to bed early and I'm not tired yet, I will usually stay up and write out a lot of content for mine and my clients websites in order to target more keywords. We all know that content is king, so this is definitely needed
In Conclusion:
You need to work and have a daily routine in order to become successful over time. I'm still chasing the dream of just collecting a check every day, but I get closer every year and I will get there eventually. In the end I hope to just have a team of people doing the work and I can sit back and monitor everything once a week while getting paid for playing around on new websites I like You can be an online marketer, but you need to be diligent and stick to your plans. Straying from your work, even for a few hours, will offset everything and mess up your entire week usually.
