I fell in love with #MoneySavingMom as a student in undergrad– It went right along with the frugal habits I’d already inherited from my maternal grandmother.

This book right here! Let’s just say, it’s a game changer. I’ve started incorporating many of the author’s tips and I’m already seeing increased traffic on my blog and social media sites.
What really strikes me about this text is this– reading it felt like I was listening to a big sister or close mentor.

Her advice was SO down to earth and approachable and the text really felt like we were just curled up on some comfy seats in one of our living rooms having a conversation. You can’t just create that. That’s a real gift! I’m so grateful for what she shared and the opportunity to review this text.

My top 3 takeaways:

1. Post frequently. She recommends posting content to your blog,  AT LEAST 3 to 4 times a week.  Before reading this, I thought an average of  2 posts a week was doing OK.  After reading this,  I realized I needed to step my game up. By doing so, I’m generating more traffic to my blog and seeing increased interactions with my subscribers.
2. Repost your own content. Do you have old blogs that existed before your blog had much traffic?  POST THEM AGAIN. That was a simple suggestion that was so eye opening for me. (And it takes care of one of your weekly blog posts ✔)
3. Follow blogs and podcasts to stay abreast of current trends.  I’m pretty good at following blogs/bloggers and reading up on trends online,  but I had yet to begin listening to any podcasts. She recommends: EntreLeadership or Brilliant Business Moms.

Ok. That’s it. I’m not going to give away any more of the text. If you want to know more, you’ll have to read it yourself to find out. 😉 You won’t regret it.  I PROMISE ✋👍👌
