Yesterday, one of the regulars asked me to write about working smarter not harder: what it meant and how to get it done. You can read about it on the home page, but I also thought I’d throw out a bit in today’s writing tip.

Working smarter not harder means different things to different people. For me it means to work fewer hours but earn more money, with my income level rising each year. It means choosing the clients that cause the least amount of stress and having quality time to spend with my family and friends. It doesn’t mean spending all of my time either tending to my home or tending to my job. It means not letting my job take over my life. What does it mean for you to work smarter, not harder?

I’m hoping that things will pick up job wise (and traffic wise) starting tomorrow. I think a lot of the slowdown is because of all the folks taking spring breaks. Honestly, I wish all the schools around the country would have the same time off in order to better plan outings with family, cousins, etc.

I notice some typical slow down patterns for traffic to this blog and even job postings. For instance, from around Thanksgiving to the beginning of Janaury things drop off a bit, the same with spring break, holiday weekends, and summer time. Do you take time off during this time or do you work through holidays and breaks?

Here’s some interesting food for thought: My first paid blogging gig wasn’t for a blog network. It was for a major cable women’s network and I was paid $500 for 200 words a week. That’s $500 for 800 words a month. Nowadays, of course, most blog networks are struggling.

I’ll be doing a series at Network Blogging Tips on whether or not one can really earn a living as a blogger for hire, but in the mean time I’m always interested in your thoughts and experiences. Do you blog for a living? If so is it for a network or individual – and is the pay enough that the ends justify the means?

What many brand new bloggers don’t realize is that blogging requires a lot more than typing up the required amount of words. It also involves promotion, community management and more. So if you’re paid $1 per blog post, are you doing $1 worth of work?

Just something to think about.

Keep those success stories coming! And since it’s the first of the month and the mortgage is due, and since I was under the weather for much of last week, here is a nice long list of Sunday leads.
