Investing for beginners

Contests, bragging, and other financial fluff

Hello, stranger! New here? How about subscribing to my RSS feed? Thanks for visiting!

Aaron Wall's SEO book Well, it’s been quite a week for me. First, I win a blog makeover prize over at David Airey’s logo designer site. Then I find out of my win of Aaron Wall’s SEO book at Problogger.net’s 3rd birthday bonanza. I LOVE SEO! Thank you, Darren Rowse and Aaron Wall!

Folks, Darren is having 24 hour giveaway contests so subscribe to Problogger’s RSS feed so you can keep up to date with everything that is happening. I’ve been reading Aaron’s downloadable SEO book (valued at $79) and what is that saying on MTV’s Diary? You think you know but you have no idea. That’s how I feel about the SEO book. Sure you may know the basic concepts of SEO but the book is considered the definitive resource in Search Engine Optimization from the beginner to the advanced. Best of all, it updates continuously in accordance to search engine algorithm changes. If you’re looking to become more visible on the Internet, I’d check this SEO book out.

So with an upcoming makeover and new found knowledge of SEO, there’s no reason for my blog to fail, right? Unfortunately, I’m still the same dumbass author. Then I read a very nice fan mail from Nancy Zimmerman (aka money coach):

Hey there – just some fan mail: your posts rock, and I’m telling all my do-it-yourself investing women friends about it. I’ve started 2 women’s investment clubs over the past 10 years, and am a HUGE fan of women empowering themselves to learn about the investment world, and make their own informed choices. Because I actually make a living from helping people get their money organized, but am not a CFP (don’t want to be), I cannot really talk alot about investing on my own sites …. so I love that I can send people your way instead. Your comments are down-to-earth and help do-it-yourself newbies feel comfortable.

Ok, enough fan-mail … and publish or not publish this comment as you see fit. I just wanted you to know you’re a refreshing voice on the financial landscape.

What can I say? You’re right. I rock. I am awesome. My blog is fun financial fluff and I’m keeping it that way. I’m quite proud of the fact that my website receives a score of 5th grade readability level from the Website Grader. In fact, isn’t there a TV show about how smart 5th graders are…?

In any case, thanks Nancy for recognizing my lightweight financial features. For all the other important stuff that I have no business covering, go visit the money coach for budgeting, managing cash flows, and other stuff I suck at.

Now, due to my new found good luck, should I buy the lottery this weekend or would that be financially irresponsible of me?
