Frugal Duchess Moves to WiseBread.com & Starts a Video Channel

I'm going to the beach because reality has hit like an overdue bill: I need to get more rest and to work smarter. I need to be more frugal with my time.

And for that reason I am relocating to Wise Bread as a steady blogger. I have also helped to launch a frugal video network with Myscha Theriault. Here's why I am changing my online strategy.

"As the founder of the Frugal Duchess blog, I was a one-woman shop, responsible for writing, editing, formatting, designing, ad sales, marketing and networking. That’s a lot of hats for one person to wear, especially given the other roles in my life: mother of three, internationally syndicated newspaper columnist, in-house writer for a large nonprofit, poet and author of The Frugal Duchess: How to Live Well and Save Money, a coming-of-age memoir about money and real estate.

Those duties exhausted me, and I struggled under daily and hourly pressures to update my blog with great content. But as part of the Wise Bread team, I can specialize in the task that I do best: writing and reporting. It’s a better use of my time, and specialization will free up time and energy for other professional and creative opportunities.

The Lesson: To earn more, sometimes you have to do less.

Please visit WiseBread.com to read my full relocation post, where I discuss how joint projects, food co-ops and other community efforts can enhance our lives, bank accounts and creative efforts.

My existing posts at this blogspot (blogger.com) site will remain at this destination: sharonhr.blogspot.com and over the next few weeks, I'll update this page with a list of my favorite posts.

Sincere thanks to all who have read, supported and commented on my blog over the last several years, including my mom and dad, who are loyal readers. Thanks to the fellow bloggers who wrote guest posts and supplied technical or intellectual support. Please join me at Wise Bread, where I will be a regular contributor and an active participant in the Wise Bread forums.

In addition to Wise Bread, you can also catch me at the Posh Frugality Network, where Myscha and I have launched a video channel. Check out Myscha's gin-and-tonic recipe and my organic fruit-olive oil-and yogurt facials.




Thanks!
