Dear Bloggy Friends,
I wanted to send you this note to let you know I’m the San Bernardino Attachment Parenting Examiner for Examiner.com. You can find my page at http://www.examiner.com/x-25628-San-Bernardino-Attachment-Parenting-Examiner. If you have a moment, give it a read. I’d love to know what you think!
Although technically I started blogging in 2007, this year brought about new ways of doing things as well as new endeavors. Along the way I have had several more experienced bloggers teach me new things, help me out and overall just help me to improve my life. I’m not yet making enough money to quit my part-time job, but I think this will be the year it happens.
I had some requests on how the Niche Blogger was going and although I’m not a millionaire yet, it is going fairly well. I’ve learned SO much about writing and marketing that it will be a valuable resource for me for years to come. I now have a handful of blogs up and running and a few more in the works.
Dive In To The World of Professional Blogging
As I’m sure you’re already aware, in order to get ahead in life, you have to either make more money or spend less. Or both. I’ve spent the past several months learning a new lifestyle of how to be frugal, how to save money, and how to cut costs. I’ve also spent those same months reading the blogs of many successful bloggers trying to figure out their secrets.
Tricia over at Blogging Away Debt is hosting links for the ING Savings $25 bonus. All you have to do to get the extra $25 is open up a savings account using one of the links from her $25 ING Orange Savings Bonus page and make an initial deposit of $250.
I just wanted to do a quick update regarding my last post about MyPoints. It has been close to two months and I’m already half way to my next $25 gift card. In actuality, you can choose whatever you want, but I always spend my points on the $25 Walmart gift card because I find it most practical for my family.
As I was checking my bank account online this morning (yahoo, it’s payday!), I glanced down through my account information. It listed the rewards and benefits of our particular account and that’s when I realized what a great decision we made in choosing our bank. Being frugal doesn’t always mean finding ways to save money, it can also deal with ways to make money.
You’ve probably always heard that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Or that you can’t get something for nothing. And the cliche list goes on and on. Well…I just wanted to share a little something with you that can almost prove those phrases wrong.
