Since I joined StumbleUpon, my blog traffic has increased tremendously. Even more recently, I tried Squidoo. I think I wrote my first lens a few days ago, and already I have a new client who found me through Squidoo. <i>Amazing</i>! This stuff works!

What's that, lol? Seriously, Rebecca, it's hard to find time to do all the things I should. I just do the best I can. Sometimes if I'm in a deadline crunch I will let promotion slide, though I usually try to update my email sig weekly at the very least. And I've reduced my posting frequency on this blog slightly, both to help with time management and to give time for people to see the posts rather than bombarding them. Submitting for publication sometimes suffers, though I am working on rearranging my time. Balance? What’s that, lol? Seriously, Rebecca, it’s hard to find time to do all the things I should.

Of course, you're closing is entirely right, each of the points need another essay to explain them further. I'm still in a bit of a daze when it comes to feeds and social bookmarking. There are so many that it's hard to know what to get behind and time is swiftly eaten away attempting to stay on top of even just a few. How do you find a sense of balance between building a brand/presence, continuing to add new content to a blog AND working on the paid commissions and a backlog of content to submit for publication?

I'm nowhere near as prolific as some, though. :) It took me ages to do my first Squidoo lens, but after that it was easier, Laura. I’m nowhere near as prolific as some, though. :)

I haven't done the Squidoo lens yet. I keep meaning too, but never seem to have enough time. This is good step-by-step advice. I haven’t done the Squidoo lens yet.

For me, putting what I'd learned into practice on my own blog was the next step, and it's working well here so far.
