Getting Out Of Debt Requires Commitment

If you are like me and have decided to get out of debt once and for all, you need to be aware that this takes a big commitment. You will have to change your lifestyle, spending habits, personal finance and in general your whole way of thinking. Many people spend hours upon hours reading self help books, watching personal finance shows, investing programs and other such means of improving their lifestyle but rarely do they make the commitment required to get them selves out of debt. We all dream of being rich and making tons of money but the reality is that most of us will never be so fortunate. If your one of these people that really wants to make a commitment to getting out of debt and improving your lifestyle then you have a real shot.

Changing your spending habits is probably the primary requirement for getting out of debt. You need to learn to think about every purchase you make. Ask yourself do I really need this or is just something I'd like to have. There are some things in life you can't do without such as food, water, clothing, a car etc... But even when purchasing these things if you want to get out of debt you have to look at the purchase closely. Do you really need a NEW car or can you fix up the old one? Is a bag of candy bars really necessary? Do I have to have designer clothes?

Once you have gotten your personal spending undercontrol you will be well on your way to getting out of debt.

Blogging Out Of Debt | Learning How To Do It

OK June is turning out to be a pretty good month. I should profit over $250.00 this month. Considering I only do this in my spare time I'm very happy with the results. Each month so far I have been able to increase my profits and traffic to each of the sites I'm using for getting out of debt. Now I did not learn to blog out of debt on my own. While I am quite experienced in computer/network technology, when I started I didn't have a clue on how to make money using a website to get myself out of debt.

I have learned to blog out of debt from primarily three experienced individuals involved in making money on line. My main purpose of writing this post today is to show my appreciation to these individuals that have helped me get started on paying off my debt. Here is a list of people who's websites you need to read, re-read, and follow their advice if you want to learn how to get out of debt using websites.

1. Make Money Online with Grizzly - Griz and his website are what started me in my online adventures at getting out of debt. Grizzly will show you how to start this process using free web resources until you can start expanding.

2. Make Money Online with Vic at BloggerUnleashed. Vic will not hold any punches and has quite colorful language at times so be prepared. Vic's approach is somewhat different than those of Grizzly, but based on the same sound principals. Vic has gone above and beyond lately in a contest to show others how to make money online and I for one am extremely grateful. While I'm sucking horribly at the contest his teachings are what have allowed me to increase my getting out of debt income on my other sites.


3. Court and his Internet Marketing skills have been extremely valuable used in combination with both the sites listed above. Court's site alone could teach you all you need to know about getting out of debt using a blog. Court has just started a series of video blogs on why you need to start a blog that you should check out.

While I've mentioned just 3 people above they are not the only ones who's experience and knowledge I have utilized. Frank at Optemp, Terry at The Honest Way Make Money blog both have great sites with quality information to help you on your journey.

If your looking to use a website to get out of debt, pay off student loans or pay of credit cards you definitely need to follow the above individuals advice. Compared to what they individuals make online my little profits are chicken feed. However, I am looking at this whole process with a longer time frame in mind than most and realize that If I keep plugging away, I'll reach my goal of getting out of debt and then some.

Getting Out Of Debt Blogging | May Results

Blogging out of debt during May was tough. Hitting the brick wall with Google sandbox on many of my sites took its toll. I did still manage total revenues of $140.00 or there abouts. Considering the only thing it costs me each month is $9.00 for my web hosting plan and time of course, I'm fairly happy with the results. Having really just started the whole getting out of debt as a blogger plan, I'm very green at this whole process of blogging monetization process. I spent most of the latter part of the month of May working on some new projects that I have yet to add to my getting out of debt plan. June has started off really well so far and I've already broke the $70.00 mark and were only in the second week of the month. I have refocused my efforts and am working on expanding my portfolio of getting out of debt blogs to add additional revenue streams to my master plan. If you just joining my or have stumbled here by accident, It is my intention to blog myself out of debt over the next 5yrs. Wish me luck I'm sure I'll need it.
