Multiple Forms of Revenue

A really interesting question comes to mind all too often, is there such a thing as too many forms of revenue? I have to answer my own question with a no, however, when you start blogging and realize you can earn a little bit of revenue with multiple affiliate programs and sponsored tweets you can get into more programs than you are ready to promote. I am currently an affiliate for multiple websites including but not limited to Amazon Associates, Logical Media, Sponsored Tweets, MyLikes and Blogvertise. I have some favorites that I like to go visit daily to see if there are any new sponsored posts or tweets and today I wanted to share with you places that have allowed me to start earning a revenue from my blog …

Mommy Brain Experiences

I swear once you become a mother it is like every child takes a little piece of your brain, seriously! I used to be so great at mathematics in high school and then I had my daughter at age 20 and low and behold I lost part of my brain.

As a blogger you are told to find your niche, what particular topic are you best at and what are you looking to offer your readers by creating a blog. When I started my original blog I was doing it as a way to share work at home direct sales information …

Let’s Talk About Product Reviews as Income

I have to get this off my chest, my two cents about why I understand the whole point behind claiming product reviews, but why I think it’s going to cause an issue when it comes to claiming them as “income“.  As a blogger we are required to claim the products we receive for free as income because reality is the product is our payment to write a post sharing our honest opinion about the product. I get it, the IRS wants to get their part in the tax area, totally understand that. The big businesses are dishing out free products to bloggers in exchange for a review which means it’s a marketing expense write off. Big business (or small) saves money on taxes because they now have all these wonderful …
