How the other half live: The daily routines of the internet’s biggest influencers

It’s no secret that the internet has opened up a world of possibilities for the average person. Now anybody with a good WI-FI connection and the desire to get themselves out there has the means to do so. It’s a reality that was unimaginable a few decades back, but it was one that many hungry young creatives are taking advantage of.

Nowadays popular culture and the digital world are completely intertwined with many of the world’s biggest celebrities and influencers starting off with nothing more than a Youtube channel and a concept. But what does it take to turn what many see as a hobby into a fully-fledged career?

A new interactive timeline featuring some of the internet’s most successful personalities has revealed what kind of routine it takes to become one of the most influential characters in the digital arena.

The timeline created by online hosting providers UK2, takes an in depth look at 10 online influencers from a variety of different backgrounds, each one amassing a large following and a successful career.

For example,

• Steven Bartlett, CEO of social media agency Social Chain regularly lives off just three hours sleep a night. He once snatched a few hours on a bench in London before a business meeting.

• Gaming personality, The Syndicate Project, shows that it’s possible to have a successful career and have plenty of time to enjoy yourself as well. Aside from his streaming and editing duties, he has on average 10 hours a day to enjoy down time doing activities such as bowling and rock climbing.
  

Sara Rego, General Manager of UK2 has commented on the interactive timeline…

“Our timeline shows that every successful online personality has a different routine of ensuring they get through their daily workload successfully.

It’s clear that the key to optimising your time is to combine your working life with what you love to do. Many of the personalities we researched have made a career out of their passions. This means they’re able to spend the majority of their day enjoying themselves, and making money from it too!

As Steve Jobs said, “Love what you do and you will never work a day in your life”
