Do you define wealth by your status or power?

Or?

Do you define wealth by the love of your family?

By the safety and security of your family?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By a life fulfilled and loved?

 

 

 

 

The wealth you seek now defines how you will be remembered and whether your life was picture of true wealth.

 

True wealth has nothing to do with money, status or power.

Very Busy Time Of Year

This time of year always seems to be a very busy time for me. I am not sure why but I always seem to have some kind of project just about to launch every spring. Right now the ProBlogHer.COM project is taking up a lot of my time. The problem with becoming busy is that my finances are often neglected.

I am trying really hard to find balance. Some days I feel as though I have a good handle on things and other days I feel very overwhelmed and disorganized. Today, I got a lot of things done around the house and working online but my budget and bills didn’t get much attention.

My hope for these new project like ProBlogHer.COM is that the income generated will relieve e some of our financial pressures. I am really excited about the fact that ProBlogHer.COM is already generating a buzz even though it’s still in pre-launch.

We will see if my online money making venture will pay off this year. So far my income has continued to increase every month. Like I said in a post I wrote earlier this year, I think this year for income earning.

A Year For Income Earning - A Prediction For 2008

I recently wrote a fifteen part series of articles on my other blog, iwebis, titled 15 Things I Learned In 2007 That Improved My Blogging and Increased My Income. In this series I wrote about the things I learned in 2007 and concluded the series by stating that 2007 was year of learning for me. I learned so much about marketing, blogging, income opps, search engine opp and social media that I think 2008 will be the year of earning.

I did earn a decent income blogging in 2007 but I the majority of the year was spent learning about how to be a profitable blogger. Now that I have the knowledge, a laptop (for more efficient working), and a number of really good ideas, I think this year will be one of very decent income earning.  I am by no means a “name it and claim it” kind of person but I do have good feelings about this year. My hope is that in 2009 I can look back on this post and see if my prediction came true.

ScratchBack Top Spots Widget Now On Time To Budget

ScratchBack Top Stops was doing so well on iwebis that I decided to include the widget on Time To Budget. The ScratchBack widget offers visitors, advertisers, readers the opportunity to include a link to their website for a very low price. Many ScratchBack publishers are setting the link price at only $1.00.

I wrote a short view of this widget on my other blog iwebis (ScratchBack Top Spots Widget). I am really excited about this widget because it offers affordable advertising for my readers as well as a little bit of extra cash for toward paying off debt.
