Another interest I have is saving my family money. I used to blog about my coupon and saving deals on my other blog, but I started sharing more about it here.
Regardless of my blogging topic, I generally don't get paid. My blogging isn't a money making activity. My reviews sometimes bless me with a free product, but no moola. In fact, it costs me to blog. It costs me time; time that could be used for my home, family or educating responsibilities.
My husband is fine with it because he feels I need to opportunity to write and to network. That's a BIG encouragement.
Sometimes, however, I feel badly about what it's costing my family, so I try to use this forum to make a little money.
That is why I started sharing things on this blog that deal with coupons or great deals. For instance, each week I post the Sunday insert preview which looks like this:
Every time someone clicks it to check, I earn a few pennies.
Or when I shared about the cool Vistaprint deals like the personalized stockings, I earn a little bit if you click my link and purchase one. I only earn if you go through my links, however.
I earn a little bit if you click my Amazon link on the sidebar and purchase anything. Or sign up for Swagbucks (which I highly recommend!) Or print a coupon from Coupons.com.
And I've made myself a promise, that I wouldn't share anything that I either haven't used or wouldn't use or at least try. For instance, there are TONS of survey and credit card things that I could share for a few bucks, but I don't trust them and wouldn't use them even though my sources are reliable.

I'm trying to offer you opportunities and help my family a bit at the same time!
