Part of an occasional series about yours truly.
Q. How many hours a week do you put into the blog?
A. Probably about 40, spread across all seven days. That means I'm earning $11.54 an hour, assuming I hit my goal of $24,000 in annual blog income. (I got paid $53.85 an hour, excluding the value of benefits, when I took a USA Today buyout a year ago.)
Those benefits are valuable. I pay $400 a month for a COBRA medical policy vs. the $150 a month I paid as an employee. The policy only covers me, and is identical to the plan I had until my severance ended -- with one key difference: is I now pay the full cost.
