Latest responses to “Blogging And Working As A Temporary Contract Employee Go Well Together” Copyright 2013, MoneyBlueBook.com 402990 2008-05-07T12:59:15-07:00 Deborah Thanks for submitting this article to the Rhythm of Write blog carnival on 5/1/08. Excellent insight and perspective :) 402980 2008-04-23T01:45:18-07:00 Raymond Hey Mrs Micah, Working 2 part time jobs is definitely like working a full time temp position. It offers more flexibility and somewhat less commitment - helping to free up time for other home business matters. I hope your freelancing is going well (etsy stuff right?) 402970 2008-04-22T17:22:45-07:00 Mrs. Micah While I'm not a contract employee...I guess...I like the flexibility afforded by having two part-time jobs (both under 20 hours) and freelancing on the side. Lets me do more with the blog without feeling quite as nervous about the next meal. 402960 2008-04-22T14:33:20-07:00 Raymond Hey Evan, Well there's just something about the daily content nature of blogs that takes up substantially more time than stand alone sites. I think it's generally a lot easier to juggle a stand alone website with a full time "real" career than it is with a blog. 402950 2008-04-22T10:20:51-07:00 Evan @MBB, I have posted comments before, and truly like your site (I have taken a similar route choosing to bypass traditional legal work...I am the Director of Financial Planning at a Wealth Managment firm, heading up advanced techniques and estate planning). I think you have a few years on me (College '03 J.D. 06),but I have to respectfully disagree. Granted you need some knowledge of what you are doing on the computer, but I think starting an online business/forum/blog is a great way to get extra income without giving up a career. While neither of my sites are "live" I continue to work on them at night when the fiance is watching HORRIBLE television. Maybe it is different when you have kids running around, but designing a site or writing blog posts is the same thing as watching TV - people choose what to do with their free time. Please take a look at what I have done in this spare time: (link) and (link) YourWayYourDay is my second attempt, realcash is my first attempt - since learning how to use Kompozer I have to completely redo RealCash. But like everything on your site - its choices you make...watch TV or have a shot at making more money in your spare time. SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!
