100 Reasons To Monetize Your Blog

First, I showed you how to monetize in this post. My results are shown below. It took me about 6 months to reach this.

PayPal Revenue Since Jan. 7th = $52.67

Option Selling Netted Me $377.69 in January

In February, I might get 100 shares of VXX and 100 shares of TMV put to me at a lower price than today. Since I buy low, sell high, I have no problem with that.

If TMV heads to $82, then 100 shares get called away in February. Nice!

Save on Health Care - Refuse Routine Tests

The Annals of Internal Medicine published a list of 37 scenarios where testing is overused. Unfortunately, I can't find the list for free. Here is the abastract.

If your doctor cannot tell you what they are, get another doctor!

See that Learn to Earn button? Don't wait, your future is now!

If you travel to work, you are going to pay a lot more!

This is about Chicago area commuters. For I-PASS customers, tolls have increased 35 cents at a typical toll plaza. Double that if you pay cash! Metra rail customers will see an increase of 15.7 percent across all fare zones starting Feb 1. Ten-ride tickets will go up an average of 30 percent, and monthly passes will increase an average of 29.4 percent.

 

Just another reason to order my Learn To Earn seminars and make hundreds of $$$ from home!

Cheapo Humidifier

Instead of paying $30 for a humidifier:

• Put water in a crock pot, place it on low, and adjust the lid slightly.
• Leave the bathroom door open when taking a shower.
• Turn your teapot on low and let the steam flow!

Saving money has a lot to do with using what you have in more creative ways!

Space: The Frugal Frontier

• Think vertical – just keep a step stool handy
• Hang stuff – use pegboard or hammer nails between floor joists (in the basement) and hand stuff that has a handle/hole
• Think square – square containers can be stacked and don’t waste volume like circular containers do
• Be creative – use the space under a couch, under a bed, or under the stairs for your non-perishables – use a storage trunk as a coffee table
• Keep track to avoid duplication through labels, writing on boxes, and arranging items logically
• Buy foldable furniture like futons, card tables, folding chairs
• I have found that I double my freezer space simply by taking the frozen contents out of the boxes that they are purchased in
• When saving things for future use, save only the small, useful parts like screws, nuts, bolts, springs, and washers
• Buy things that have multiple uses – a bike can be both transportation and exercise
• Clean house every spring and have a yard sale – if something doesn’t sell, call the Salvation Army
