How long are you prepared to work online?

Hey all, Im just wondering, how many hours a day would you be willing to work online, from your own home to generate the same wage as you go to work to earn?
I'd expect people to be willing to put in a few more hours for the luxury of no travelling and the comfort of your own surroundings, but how much longer?
If you work a 7 hour day, would you for instance trade that for a 10 hour at home programme for the same wage?
Im just curious :)

as long as im not sleepy and im not tired then i can last long hours here online, but then of course i still have other things that need to do as internet is not my only life. i still managed to enjoy my daily house chores while enjoying internet at home.

I really wouldn't mind working a little longer. I work two jobs, so I sometimes worked 12 - 18 hours a day. I wouldn't mind working 12 hours a day to make less than that, depending on how much it is, because I'd rather be able to stay at home and do what I need to do around the house.
Of course, most sites required constant working and even then you don't make even close to as much as even a part-time job. It depends what you're doing and how much time you put into it. You can make a decent amount of income online, but it's hard to really make enough to live by, especially in my situation.

I work from home. And I spend at least 8 hours online everyday if not longer. I have a lot of projects going on currently. But, I wouldn't trade it for the world...I can take off for any reason..being a school event, doctor appointments or just coffee with a friend...I also get to have "casual Friday" everyday. So it definitely has it upside. But, you have to be really disciplined to work at home...for the very same reasons its great to stay at home...catch 22

I would rather stay at home and make money. I like to be able to do the work in my house other then a office or so on. Being at home makes me want to get the work done faster as I do other tasks around the house.
