Teach a Skill, Learn a Skill
Have a skill to share…. I’m seeing an upswing in the number of students I have over at Skillshare, plus the amount of minutes they’ve watched of my classes. More people have time on their hands, people are suddenly out of work and looking for new skills or something to do besides binge watching shows. Do you have a skill you can teach? Most of us do. I think now would be a great time to put together a class and offer it on platforms like Skillshare or even create your own site for teaching. Also, do you need to learn a new skill, brush on on ones like sewing,…

Become a Millionaire…start investing at age 15
I’m in the middle of working on some new products for you so this week’s posts are going to be brief. I saw this interesting fact and thought I’d share it with you…. While most of us focus on ways to make money, another route to becoming rich is by investing and the money you earn. I know for the majority of us, it’s been a long time since we turned 15 but look at this study done by MarketWatch.com, saving $2,000 per year for seven years, a 15-year-old is capable of becoming a millionaire at the age of 65. And it gets even better because that same teenager doesn’t…

Trends For Making Money
Thinking about ways to make money in the next few months or even the next year and beyond? During these times of change and uncertainty, I’ve been reading a lot more than usual. For me, that’s means a lot of reading. I’ve always looked for trends, what people are talking about, their fears and wants. It’s something we all need to get a feel for trends. It’s these trends and future needs that can put you ahead of the curve (and also, you could come up with something that’s really valuable to lots of people). Based on my reading of the last few weeks, here’s what I’ve seen and these…

Recession Proof Yourself, Your Business and Your Life
What’s happening in the world reminds me of the old saying about not putting all your eggs into one basket. I work in the creative field and every day I’m hearing about people losing contracts, clients canceling projects, and people generally not knowing how they’re going to make it through the months ahead. Proactive measures are always better than reactive ones so now is the time to think about businesses that are sort of polar opposites of one another. It’s the way successful entrepreneurs have always done it. If one business gets hit during a downturn, you have one or more other ‘different’ businesses to keep you afloat. Say you…

Making Money With Your Blog
Making money on your blog…why would there be any other reason to have one, right? When I started Budget Smart Girl (and also my writing blog), making money was actually the last thing on my mind. I wanted to share my knowledge, offer advice and yes, hopefully entertain my audience too. However, there comes a point when work takes up lots of your time and you wonder if you want to put in another hour or two that translates into volunteer work. Last year, that’s how I started to feel about blogging. It’s one of the reasons I gave up blogging here at BSG. I was paying for a site…
