How Blogging Has Helped Me Reduce My Debt

It's been some time since I have blogged at Getting Out of Debt.  Hey, don't be fooled.  I haven't been absent from the blogosphere, just extremely busy.  Since I started blogging in 2005, I have created a large network of blogs, Squidoo lenses, HubPages, and other web properties that have become my home business.  See, blogging was the starting point of my work from home adventure.  Once I began this work from home journey and saw that I could earn a living from it, I have put my all into it.  Best of all, it has greatly contributed to my debt reduction!

Blogging about debt is a great motivator.  Why?

• Blogging about your debt goals, victories and failures creates accountability. 
• Writing down your goals helps you keep better track of your achievements.
• By sharing your debt reduction journey, you can get great feedback from readers.
• Keeping a weblog of your progress helps one get up after you fall.

Since I started this debt blog. I have:

• Stopped using my cards-completely.
• I paid off my car with my Google Adsense Earnings.
• I work from home by providing advertising, link building services and more!
• I have found creative, frugal ways to get the things that I need.

What's my advice to the reader?  Whether you are trying to get out of debt, work from home, lose weight or start a new career starting a blog can be a very rewarding experience.  By seeking out other similar blogs, you will find great advice, encouragement and accountability.  Best case scenario, it may become another source of income!

If you are a blogger, what has been your experience?  Has it been rewarding or has it been a time consuming drag?  Share your thoughts...
