Today, I want to introduce you to my friend Bobby Hoyt of Millennial Money Man and Facebook Ads For Bloggers.

In 2019, his online blogging business brought in over $1,000,000 of revenue, he has been able to grow his email list to over 60,000 readers, and millions of page views. And, he attributes these accomplishments to his decision to master one one simple traffic source – Facebook ads.

Bobby is a former band director who left his teaching job after making $3 from his blog. He’ll tell you that was not the best idea for everyone, but it worked for him and he now blogs full-time.

He’s doing something a little different than the average blogger, which is focusing heavily on Facebook to drive his traffic and increase his blogging income, and he has seen great success from it!

He grew his blog quickly with Facebook advertising, and he is here today to teach you all about it. He strongly believes that Facebook ads is a great way to grow your blog’s email list, increase your page views, increase your affiliate income, and more. He’s seen it work for him, and he uses this course to teach others how to have the same success. [Read more…]

9 Tips To Wake Up Early & Why It Feels So Good

Do you want to learn how to wake up early?

Some people are early birds and others are night owls. For me, I go both ways. Sometimes I am good at going to bed early and then wake up early in the morning.

Then I go through phases when I stay up late, really late, and then wake up late in the day.

Some of the early birds I know may laugh at this because I know many who wake up at 4 a.m., and I’m definitely not one of those people.

You don’t have to wake up at 4 a.m. to be an early bird, unless you really want to. I’m just talking about how to wake up early in the morning, maybe just an hour or two, instead of waking up in a rush for work or regularly sleeping in until the afternoon.

Now, some of you may think I’m crazy for suggesting that you even think about waking up earlier in the day. [Read more…]

Hello! Today, I have a great article to share from R.J. Weiss. He purchased my course, Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing back in 2017, and has since grown an amazing website. He now has a six-figure blog that receives around 500,000 monthly visitors. Enjoy!

Before launching The Ways To Wealth in 2016, I read the entire archives of multiple blogs’ income reports. For some blogs, like Making Sense of Cents (which started publishing them in 2013) this meant going through years of old posts.

It was time well spent.

I learned a lot about what worked and what didn’t when it comes to building a profitable blog. And with that knowledge in hand, I set a goal to build a blog that would replace my full-time job.

Fast-forward 14 months and that goal was accomplished. I was comfortable leaving a job I’d held for 10 years.

It’s not like I was knocking it out of the park. I was making about $3,000 per month at the time. Still, with a healthy emergency fund, I decided to take the leap and become a full-time blogger.

Fast-forward even further, to today, and The Ways To Wealth is doing great. It reaches around 500,000 visitors every month and has surpassed the next goal I set for myself — building a six-figure blog. [Read more…]

If you are looking for veggie packed, delicious vegan meal prep recipes, I have 13 great ideas to share with you today.

Now, I’m not vegan, but I have been trying more and more vegan meals these days, and I have been amazed by how delicious and filling they are. It has been a great way to get out of my food comfort zone.

My sister is the one who convinced me to try some vegan meal prep recipes. She’s been vegan for a while, and she’s always telling me about the new meals she’s making. They always sound really good, so I finally decided to try making some vegan food on my own.

Now that I know how good vegan food can be, I’ve been searching for more vegan meal prep recipes. Today, I’m going to share some of my favorite new cheap vegan meal prep ideas and recipes.

I am loving the recipe for Cowboy Quinoa Caviar. It has quinoa, black beans, and corn, and you can add extras like tomatoes, bell peppers, and avocados. This would be a great meal to bring to a potluck, but you will want to keep it all for yourself. [Read more…]

Do you want to learn how to write a check? Have you ever written a check?

While some of you may be thinking that you’ll never need to write a check, or wondering why someone like me would ever write a check, it does happen!

In fact, if you are choosing to read this article, then I’m guessing you may need to write a check and have questions about how to write a personal check.

I remember learning how to write a check for the first time, and it used to be taught in school.

But not everyone is taught to write checks these days, and some people have never needed to write one.

And, even though most people have switched over to using debit cards or are using apps that make it easy to transfer money, it’s still important to know how to write a check.

There are actually many situations when a check is the preferred or only way to pay. [Read more…]

Are you looking for the best weekend jobs?

There are several positives of finding weekend work.

Some people like that they are only working on the weekend, but weekend jobs also let you make money in addition to your Monday through Friday job.

Weekend jobs are a flexible way to make money in your spare time, and that’s a great thing for lots of people.

For people with regular 9-5 jobs, you are probably limited with the amount of money you can make at your job, like if you are paid a salary.

A weekend job lets you make money in your spare time.

Or, perhaps you are in school or staying at home with your kids. You need a job that works with your schedule. Finding a good weekend job will fit in with the rest of your life so you can make money in your spare time. [Read more…]
