January 7, 2015 By Becky Mansfield 6 Comments

Today I want to talk to you about how to make money with affiliate book sales (without doing a review). Before I begin, let me tell you my little secret… I (Becky) really dislike doing reviews.

I would just post whenever I felt necessary on topics that I felt like writing about ...

A Blogger’s Privacy – How Much Should I Share?

December 14, 2014 By Paula Leave a Comment

Privacy is something bloggers talk about a lot. It is definitely a concern, and something that should be considered carefully as you enter the online world with your blog.
