Debt and too many credit cards are something our society is plagued with, as well as other civilized nations. Suddenly, as we are overcome by accumulating too much debt we may become somewhat uncivilized to live with! As a blogger you have the opportunity to blog away some of your debt.

The most difficult type of debt to blog away is what you may have accumulated through the use of credit cards. As bloggers we are also more vulnerable with possible online fraud as we seek to find other money-making opportunities such as ebooks that we may purchase with the use of our credit cards, which can lead to making purchases from fraudulent sites if we are not careful.

As life goes on, the vicious cycle of debt accumulation continues, and we have the greater need of blogging for more dollars in order to avoid accumulating more debt through the use of credit cards! If we must have credit cards, the least we can do is to use the ones that offer the best rates and lowest fees, so you might want to use a card guide to locate the best ones.

If you are planning to blog away debt, I think one of the best strategies to apply is to not take on more credit than what you really should. Plus, in order to reduce the debt, don’t take on more debt than what you can blog away if that is how you will be paying off the cards! Long story short, stay focused on earning extra money from blogging if your goal is to blog away your debts!

It just dawned on me that I don’t believe I have written a post here as a special thanks to our members of Link & Blog Challenge, and especially a special thanks to our members who take on the extra commitment of being a sponsor. Of course there are also some extra perks for them in return.

Member sponsors of our community have each received a free display ad, which you see over in the right sidebar, and those are also displayed on our main site, Link & Blog Challenge! They also receive a link from our blog roll here, as well as a text link from our main site.

Member sponsors are individuals who are especially excited about what Link & Blog Challenge can offer them to assist them with growing their number of incoming links within relevant blog post content.

Thank you again to all our member sponsors for catching onto the vision of our site, Link & Blog Challenge! Here’s what one of our sponsors has to say.
By the way, this post was also inspired by a Link & Blog Challenge, for link exchange!

Have you ever wanted to have an opportunity to help others? Share knowledge or encourage people to pursue their dreams and goals? Blogging allows you to do that, but I recently found an offer for a chance to become a life coach and I was quite excited about the opportunity. It seems most of my life I’m led down paths which result in me encouraging other people, so the life coaching opportunity was interesting.

I was surprised however, to never hear back from the company in that I have experience as a professional where I consulted other individuals, and teaching and encouraging others seems to come natural to me.

Today I came across the life coaching website again from a different resource! Executive Coaching, once again sounds interesting to me. If you’re a blogger you may also have life-coaching capabilities within you naturally. One opportunity on the Solution Box website for the month of June is a download they have titled, “50 Power Questions to Take Control of Your Life.”

Why do I feel life coaching is important? One key reason is due to the fact that life has many distractions, which causes us to get off track from what we really need to focus on and accomplish. There are also many people that I will refer to as, “dream squashers” and unfortunately they are often the people who are closest to us such as our next of kin or a best friend.

There are many reasons why one would or should pursue having a life coach, and many of the most successful people in any society have utilized their services at one time or another. If you’re reading this blog post it may be because you have made the decision to make an Internet business your career, and believe me you will be hit with many dream squashers, so you just may want to consider help from a life coach! You may also even be gifted with the right qualities to go through life coaching certification.

Ever have those times when you really don’t know what to blog about? If you’ve answered “no” to that question, may I say you aren’t normal! We all have the times when we struggle with what to blog about!

Maybe you would like to blog about ways to make money blogging, a unique experience in your life, educational information you can provide based on your past careers, and the list goes on. But, even so, we all still have our days when we have difficulties with inspiration for what to blog about. If that is the case, you would find Link & Blog Challenge to be a tremendous amount of fun, inspiration, and a great way to build links!

Guess what? This post was inspired by a Link & Blog Challenge! So, if you have the need for inspiration, hop on over and join today so you will have more to blog about!

EDIT to the Article Below: As of March 2008, this blog will no longer participate in receiving pay for advertised links unless the advertiser is willing to purchase links with the nofollow attribute in order to comply with the Google webmaster guidelines.

Life just got better for us as bloggers. PayPerPost now has the newest opportunity with their advertising direct program, which offers bloggers the ability to be contacted directly from an advertiser to post on their blog. PayPerPost still serves as the agent between the advertiser and the publisher, but in comparison to some other competitors with PayPerPost you get to keep more of the hard earned cash for your efforts.

One of the competitors I had signed up with some time ago has never provided any offers for my blogs! It seemed to be strange that I never received any offers because I feel that all three of my blogs are quality blogs. Of course I’m biased in that opinion, but none the less I don’t feel I’m exaggerating the quality of my blog posts.

The other peeve I had in regards to one of PayPerPosts competitors is the fact that they didn’t even approve two of my blogs, which again are both quality blogs. They only approved this blog, but it took them a while to get around to that. As a result of the fact that I never received any offers I have not gone back to check since.

Another thing I like about PayPerPost is the fact that I don’t take a hit through my PayPal earnings because I’m not charged a fee with funds received from PPP. Quite the contrary with yet another competitor! Every time I received funds from one of their competitors I had to take the hit with the PayPal charges, which I found annoying. Needless to say, I haven’t posted for that other company in some time.

Why should you consider PayPerPost’s direct program, and not simply solicit to advertise on your blog yourself? The first and foremost reason is the fact that without a company like PayPerPost to help you screen the entity wanting to advertise on your blog, you may become a victim of fraud and never get paid for your efforts. With the PPP opportunity, you get the chance to keep more from your blog ads so it’s a good way to go in comparison to some of the other competitors who will take a bigger share of the revenue.

You may be wondering why you don’t see the display ad for the direct advertising on my blogs yet. The reason is due to the fact that I haven’t yet determined how much I want to charge, so I need to take the time to access that.

I guess you could say I’m a late bloomer with some things. Generally I’m not one of the first to jump into an opportunity. It took me some time before I finally decided to join MyBlogLog. Why all the fuss and delay?

For me personally it was because I didn’t care for some of the explicit avatars I had seen in their recent reader widgets appearing on peoples blogs. I decided I didn’t want to mess with it for that reason. One day recently while in a forum I learned that they were making some improvements to help control that. So, I decided to give MyBlogLog a whirl. The other hold-up for me is the amount of time it takes to participate in a social networking site such as that. My hands are quite full with researching improvements for our own community, Link & Blog Challenge.

If you’re with MyBlogLog, the widget is below in my left sidebar module, and I hope to have a chance to meet you. And, if you’ve stopped by, thanks in advance.

TheNewsRoom that is! This is an interesting opportunity for bloggers! This opportunity pays in a variety of ways. You can make money in advertising shares, and even win electronics, vacations and cars when you participate! How cool is that!

TheNewsRoom uses a system that they refer to as video “mashing”, so you can mash for cash! Each time a news feed or story is embedded into your blog you have an opportunity for potential revenue! There are numerous topic categories to choose from including entertainment, sports, life, politics and more. Mashed content comes from reliable sources such as Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and Agence France-Press (AFP).

If you are a website publisher or blogger who wants to earn money by embedding quality news on your site, simply join The News Room and start mashing! You’ll find all sorts of things to choose from to offer up to date news on your blog and it’s free to add the embed. You may want to take a look at their payment chart to get an idea of how it works for earning potential revenue.

If you think you shouldn’t bother to post news on your blog you’ll want to reconsider that thought. Last year I gained the most traffic on one of my blogs by posting a story about an event relevant to my blog. Suddenly I gained a significant amount of traffic because it turned out that when my blog post was published it was a matter of perfect timing. So, never underestimate the power of posting relevant news on your blog!

OK, off I go now to explore more things in The News Room! While we’re on the subject, here’s a video from their site. It’s about our soldiers communicating through blogs!
