This is an excellent question. My solution to balancing a blog and freelance writing is to try to zero in on specific stories that would specifically match a site I’m interested in publishing on, and then saving the rest for my blog. So far, it seems to be a pretty good strategy.

Parting with good material is ALWAYS hard!

Have you thought about including a page on your site with links to your other published pieces? That way, you could still have the piece “on” your site, too :)

Great points about branding and being an entrepreneur.

Thanks for the recap, Matt! Kristin or Matt … do either of you have advice on how to balance your blog with freelance writing? I would like to pitch more freelance pieces but I often have a hard time parting with good material when it could go on my own site. But I see the importance of doing both… thoughts?
