You may say that you are not making enough money out of blogging just yet and there aren’t enough to save and invest. We would say, you’re absolutely wrong. No matter how large or how little your blogging income is, there are creative ways of saving for investments. Remember, you are building a nest egg here.

Tips on how to invest for cheap.

Automatic Withdrawal

The money that you don’t see, you don’t spend. If you can be disciplined enough to have your blogging income be deposited directly to a bank account that you will not touch, you will be surprised how much you can save. Just think of the money as something that you never earned. Every time you make that transfer - send it on to the “secret” bank account.

We are big fans of Robert Kiyosaki.  From reading his first book - Rich Dad, Poor Dad - we got hooked.  We apply his principles and his positive attitude in everything we do and we believe the rule that if you practice positive thinking, you can never go wrong.

It was interesting to read the five basic financial IQ’s that he provided:

1. Making more money.
2. Protecting your money.
3. Budgeting your money.
4. Leveraging your money.
5. Improving your financial information.

We will share our thoughts with you in the next few weeks as we go through the book and find helpful ideas and tips about handling your money.  We are teaching you how to fish, we would also like to teach you how to preserve it.

Watch out for more posts!

This will be my first year to experience being taxed from my blogging income online. I only started blogging last year and since June of 2007, I made 6K by year-end. I earned approximately 1K per month. Although it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t that great either considering the tax that I have to pay.

Now that the Forms 1099 started arriving from all the different programs I’ve joined, I worried a bit about how much Uncle Sam would want from my blogging income. I simply took a calculation of my total annual salary income from my full-time job plus my income from blogging. I thought that if and when it reaches a certain bracket, that would be the percentage that I would have to pay. If for example, I made 25K from my full-time job which was at the 15% income tax bracket, and add the 6K from my blogging income totals 31K, it will take me to the next level at 25% income tax bracket. I thought I would have to pay 25% of my full time salary including 25% of the 6K that I earned from blogging. Partly true, but not-so-true.

It’s a famous saying and most of you already know exactly where it came from. We are all aware that wealthy people (at least most that I follow) give to charity. Giving to others in need when you have more than enough provides balance. Balance in your life, balance in our world. When one starts to receive wealth, one must be conscious of the reasons behind it. And when you realize that what you have is a blessing, you must provide blessing to those who are less unfortunate.

Charity Begins at Home

We have shown you have much we’ve made. There’s more TO BE made. We use the income we made as a supplement to our needs at home, pay the bills, your children’s education and maybe a little party here a little dinner there. It is a simple reward of the hard work that we put into our goal - that is to obtain financial freedom using the power of the web. Much of the income we receive today may not be there tomorrow. It’s just like any business - it adapts to change. That is why we are conscious to save what we make for our family’s well-being.

But there’s more?
