Weekly report: Monetizing my blog + Social Media #5

This week we focused on staying on budget. I also applied and was accepted to an affiliate program which I'm very excited about! I'm looking up a lot of information on affiliate marketing and best practices. Some of the info I've learned is how to market the products on Pinterest. I plan on doing most of the affiliate marketing on there, and maybe sprinkle some cool products on twitter and the blog. Right now I am using ShareASale to find affiliate links to try and make money. My strategy is to find programs that will help people get out of debt. So far I am doing affiliate stuff for a Cashback website called DollarDig ( https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=569535&u=2292638&m=51865&urllink=&afftrack=  ) and a discount jewelry store called Balla.  (https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=785753&u=2292638&m=52317&urllink=&afftrack= ) For those of you interested, the way I can make money with these company's is if you click on the links and register ...

Saving towards $1,000 in 2 months!

When we started the long journey to saving up $1,000 we were already about $250 shy of reaching $1,000. I like to think that most people have a good sense of saving at least SOMETHING in their savings. Even though we only had $250 to go until we met the amount, we couldn’t just drop that much from our checking to our savings because of our budget. We spend about $4000 a month on our debt, including our mortgage and we bring in about $4,200 (we found that out by doing our budget, we were very sad https://pixabay.com/photos/coins-currency-investment-insurance-1523383/ to see how close we were to not being able to afford anything) There was only one thing I could think of doing in order to get ourselves out of debt, and that was to do Overtime. If you are trying to get out of debt, overtime is your best friend. I’ve been working overtime an hour extra every weekday for the past few weeks and my check has increased a couple hundred dollars. The way my work does over time...

Understanding debt snowball and avalanche methods

If you have heard about Dave Ramsey you’ve heard him talk and praise about the debt snowball. The debt snowball is when you pay off debt from lowest monthly payment to highest and disregard the interest. There is another known way of paying off debt called the avalanche method. That is when you pay your highest interest rate debt and disregard monthly payment. But which one is more time efficient? Let’s find out! The following are random amounts and interest rates to give a good idea on the time it will take to pay off the most common kind of debt. The debt: Credit card: Amount: $8,000 monthly payment: $264 interest rate 15% Student loan Amount: $10,000 For 10 years Monthly amount: $88 Interest rate: 6% House loan Amount: $9,000 for 6 months Monthly amount: 125 Interest rate: 0% Car loan Amount: $15,000 for 5 years Monthly amount: $262 Interest rate: 5% Debt snowball method: If we were to do the debt snowball method, the order would be student loans, h...
