How I Will Be Rich

Archive for the ‘Link Love’ Category

I think it’s funny because yesterday I posted that my goal for the month of September was to reach 50 subscribers… Well as of September 30th, I only had 48 subscribers and then on October 1st, the very first day of the next month, I’m up to 52 subscribers. I met my September goal the very first day of October. Oh well. I thought that was funny and I thought I’d share.

If you don’t know what my Top 10 Tuesday is: Every Tuesday I go out and find all the best blog posts from all of the blogs I read and then I narrow it down to my top 10. These are my favorite reads and I think that readers of this site will also enjoy them.

Here’s my list for this week:

• WalletRehab has Five Ways You Waste Money While Trying to Save it. A great post about how people go out of their way to be frugal but, by doing so, actually end up spending more.
• A new site called DotComPreneur gives some great advice on getting things going. Sometimes you’ve just got to go for it. Don’t plan so much and just take steps to get things rolling.
• Dumb Little Man has an excellent post about Controlling Your Clutter. This is something I’ve been actively trying to accomplish and have been talking a lot about here on this blog.

It’s time again for another Top 10 Tuesday. There’s been some great posts out there in the Blogosphere and I’d like to share my top 10 finds for the week. Before I list off my favorite posts for the week, I want to thank a couple of sites that have really supported us and kind of jump started the flow of traffic that we’ve been getting. The Digerati Life, One Man’s Goal, Lazy Man and Money, and Stock Trading To Go have all sent us a lot of traffic and we really appreciate what they’ve done for us. Thank You So Much!

And now, here’s my awesome finance finds for the week:

• The Simple Dollar gives 10 Tips to Cook at Home. I love this because my girlfriend and I are trying harder and harder to eat in more often.
• Stock Trading To Go explains Why a Fed Rate Cut May Not Save the Stock Market. This is a great post about how to react depending on the events after today’s rate cut.
• Young and Broke has A Few Quick Tips to Better Finances. They are some great tips too. I think I already do them all but I definitely suggest them to others.
• Entrepreneur’s Journey has 4 Ways of Building Traffic To Your Blog. Who out there is not in to getting more traffic to their blog. A great read!

Over the last few days we have been getting just a ton of new subscribers. It seems like out of nowhere, people are starting to discover our blog. It’s been amazing and we are very proud of the progress that we’ve made over the last 2 months. It’s been so much fun and I never expected this site to grow at the rate that it has. We have pretty much already achieved the goals that we have set for this month. The outsource project is still in the works but will probably see very little progress until next month.

Due to the flood of new visitors and new subscribers, I’m going to do something that I’ve never done before. I’m going to list some of the articles we’ve posted up until now to try to catch some of you new readers up on some of the things we’ve been talking about here.

Here’s some Recommended Reading from our archives:

• Buying Vs. Renting: Is Homeownership Really Better For Your Money?
• ETFs Vs. Mutual Funds
• What’s Up With the Stock Market?
• New or Used? You Make the Call.
• No Reason Not to Have a Roth IRA
• My First Attempt at Investing Advice
• 7 Ways to Conquer That Writer’s Block
• My 8 Step Process to Being Rich
• Stress Is Never Worth It
• How to Start a Business in California

Those are my picks as far as the best posts Joe and I have made so far. Give them a read if you haven’t already. One thing that we need is more comments. If you have anything to add, please feel free to do so. We started this blog with the goal of receiving feedback on our ideas.

Thanks again to all our readers. We are so happy with the progress that we have made so far and we really appreciate the support.
