How To Manage Your Money In 2008
Last days of December are great to start planning on how to manage your money in the next year.
You’ve made some mistakes this year from which you can learn and you’ve made some right decisions which you can do again. And of course, you can also find great money and finance related blogs out there on the web.
I can’t really say that I am an expert on managing my money (yet) so I tried to find online resources from which I can learn.
Here are some of the best posts on how to manage your money and achieve financial freedom perhaps already in 2008: Read more
Money Making Ideas And How To Find Them
Money making ideas are the key to achieving financial freedom.
If you want to make money, whether online or offline, you must first start with a money making idea.
How do you find an idea that will make money for you in the long term?
Here’s the typical approach if you want to earn money online:
Christmas Links To 12 Blogs
I received a Christmas link today and would like to share 12 more links to other websites.
Here’s how the game goes:
1. Each day until Christmas link to 12 blogs. (different ones each day)
2. Hopefully the spirit of Christmas will create many helpful links from blogger to blogger.
3. Pay it forward if you receive a link from someone sharing the 12 links of Christmas.
Buying Site Build It – Should You Invest $299?
The goal of this post is to help you understand the cost behind Site Build It and why Ken Evoy has decided on this pricing model. Then it’s going to be much easier to decide whether SBI! is for you, or not.
 |
If you are not yet familiar with Site Build It, then follow the link to Sitesell.com (opens in a new window) and take some time to learn what Sitesell offers you with this comprehensive package to start your own online business and journey towards financial freedom.
The cost of the Site Build It package is $299 per year, and this makes it very different from typical web hosting packages where you can pay only $6.95 or $9.95 per month for a reasonably good hosting account.
(Note that paying $9.95 per month still makes it 12 x $9.95 = $119.4 per year.)
This $299 per year often stops people from taking that first step, and there’s a reason for that.

My Pissed Off Response To A Link Exchange Request
I got an email a few minutes ago asking for a link exchange with one of my sites. My site offers information about everything related to conferencing, has a PR 4 and is listed in DMOZ and Yahoo directory among others.
I usually delete suggestions like you’re about to read but this one really pissed me off and I even spent 2 minutes writing my response to hopefully help this guy get on the right track. (and to release my negative emotions )
Here’s his email:

Why Blogging For Money Sucks
Instead of including a few introductory paragraphs I’ll just go straight to the point and use Darren Rowse’s poll to show you why blogging for money sucks.
Here’s a quick summary of Darren’s poll “How Much Did You Earn In October 2007 From Blogging?”:
a) There were 3054 responses which, in my opinion, is a big enough number to allow us to rely on the results as being very accurate.
b) There are actually some good earners who blog for money:
- 9% earn over $15,000 per month
- 7% earn between $2,500 and $15,000 per month
This leaves 84% of bloggers earning less than $2,500 per month from blogging for money.
If you want to go one step lower, then 81% of bloggers earn less than $1,500 per month from blogging.
Five Reasons That It’s Easy To Get Links With A Blog
Having your blog and regularly adding useful content to it enable you to quickly build a small authority level in your niche.
You most likely won’t achieve total financial freedom with your own little blog, but you will be able to establish some authority in your niche; unless, of course, you compete with all those money making blogs.
It’s actually much easier to get incoming links and establish some presence online with a blog (especially Wordpress) than if you build a large, static website.
Why?
Because … Read more
