Writing – Page 4

Would it be terrible of me to say I have too much work?

I started out with my first website in 1995 and believe it or not that website is still in existence. In fact it’s my most popular website.

Lately though I’ve gotten into writing blogs and as a result of having so many different blogs I’ve also managed to find ways to monetize them and earn a decent income off of them. I’m actually earning enough now that I can live off of it.

The trouble is most of my income comes in because I actually manually do the work. That is I write posts or write on blogs for compensation. Is it terrible to complain that I have too many offers?

Every day I have at least one email from someone asking me to try out their product or write about their site. It’s getting crazy! I’ve also had two offers to be a guest speaker at blogging or webmaster related seminars!

I think I might have to step back a bit and take a good look at what I’m doing and where I want it to take me so that I can plan my work schedule better and perhaps find a happy medium while I still continue to earn enough to live off of.

I’m feeling out of sorts and kind of confused today. I’ve been trying my hardest to catch up on built up work, and to secure more internet/blog related work all day while fending off email!

I just received acceptance into BlogCritics but for the life of me, I don’t remember ever applying to be a writer there. It’s definitely an honor to be accepted, but the email kind of hit me from behind!

Actually I just got word back from Eric at Blogcritics and he was responding to a request that was actually written by my husband. You see, since I have more blogs than my husband I put him on promo duty a little while ago and he’s been working to get our sites listed in the various blog and RSS feed directories for the past month or so. I find lists of directories and put him on the job.

Well, it turns out BlogCritics was on one of the lists that I found and assigned to him and he wrote to the owner of the site hoping to get our blogs listed. He didn’t realize that he was applying for ME to become a writer/contributer there!

Well … they sound interested in having me do some writing over there so I might as well give it a try!

Kind of strange how that came about isn’t it? Well at least I know I didn’t apply and forget about it. It was my husband!

Too much work?
