This article offers information about something people think about before moving to a city. How many hours will I have to work to live in this city?<\/em> Work-life balance is something everyone should consider before taking on a new job or moving to a new location. So, you know this article will hit a communal nerve. Why not hitch a ride on this article and tap into that nerve?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commenting on shared article<\/strong><\/h3>\n


\n1)\u00a0 Speak to something your audience cares about<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as I mentioned above, this article hits close to home for many. A lot of people wonder, \u201cHow many work hours will it take to live in New York City (or another city)?\u201d This speaks to the person\u2019s quality of life, so selecting the right city to live in is a big deal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAre you tired of renting and feeling like your dream of homeownership is being frittered away in rent month after month? Forbes recently published an article about how many work hours are needed to afford a mortgage in several popular American cities. Read on to find out if you\u2019re making enough to buy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 Relate it to a personal story<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a story about your own experience that relates to the topic, then start off by sharing this in your post. People love to read personal accounts. It\u2019s a hook because many of the readers will relate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWhen I was young and a bit naive, I thought I could pack my bags and move to Los Angeles, California to pursue my dream of being a Hollywood screenwriter. I thought wrong when I learned how much money it would take to afford a home in Los Angeles. Forbes recently published an article addressing this question: How many work hours does it take to afford to live in each city?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 Give a Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of people lack the time to read through a full article. So, if you make it easier for them by giving a brief summary, they will greatly appreciate it and see your profile, blog, or website as one that gives value (saves time and educates). Remember, people want the main gist of the article and any supporting facts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHave you ever wondered how many hours it would take to afford a home in NYC or L.A.? Forbes compiled a list of how many work hours it would take to live in cities such as these. Most of the list lies on the East and West coasts with California cities ranking high on the list. These cities required the most monthly work hours to pay for a mortgage payment. Your dream city may be on the list.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Share Your Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you feel strongly about the topic of the article? If so, give your opinion as long as it\u2019s not an offensive one. You\u2019ll be surprised how many people will agree, and it may garner your profile more attention and likes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cAccording to a list Forbes recently published about how many work hours it takes to live in specific cities in the U.S., California ranks in the top 10. While this may be disheartening if you wish to move to the Golden State, it shouldn\u2019t discourage you from doing so. There are many locations on the outskirts of these big cities that offer home buyers affordable options.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5)\u00a0 Tie it What You Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look for the relationship between the information in this article and your job. Find out if it has anything in common with the value you give your clients. \u00a0This article is about how many hours per month a person must work in order to afford to live in the listed cities. This topic relates to potential home buyers. You could even narrow the focus to first-time home buyers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cRenting an apartment, condo, or home for so long can give you the feeling of being stuck. Many people don\u2019t pursue home ownership because they feel that they don\u2019t make enough to afford a mortgage payment. Find out if your salary and work hours measure up to mortgages in popular American cities. It\u2019s a joy for me to help first-time home buyers realize their dream of owning a home especially in the location they desire.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n
