Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent learning new technologies, setting up projects, and marketing services. As projects were established, more time was dedicated to client work and less to learning and marketing. The time commitment varied based on project load and deadlines. Online communities suggest that developers often spend more time upfront learning and setting up, with time decreasing as they become more efficient. Some report spending more time due to complex projects or multiple clients, while others manage with less by focusing on smaller tasks.
