Teens and Personal Finance: Lesson 3, Start Your Nest Egg Now

Sunday, February 10th, 2008


In this third (and long delayed installment) of the Watch My Money Maker Podcast we’ll cover the issues of your nest egg. The end is a super sped up version of a song my band played in high school :)

The Nest Egg File is 12 MB and requires iTunes or Quicktime.

A Glimpse Into the Watch Maker’s Stats

Friday, February 1st, 2008

I have been tracking statistics with Google Analytics for the last six months now (August 2007 through the present) and have some interesting data to share:

homepage 1,489 28.92%

ten things to do with your economic stimulus check that the government won’t like

505 9.81%

Ten Tips to Prepare for Getting Married

298 5.79%

You’ll note that several of those posts are from the last month, and a few are older.  I find it interesting that the economic stimulus check has gotten nearly 10% of all hits on this site for all time.  The credit rate reduction rally is still getting hits, but they’ve been trickling in for months.

Top search terms were

  • Wesabe Review [and mint.com review - there was a kurfluffle and this post got a lot of search hits]
  • Credit Card Rate Reduction  [and variations on such]
  • Economic Stimulation Refund [and variations on such]
  • Money Maker [and variations on such]
  • Freeze Pillow

I can also say that at least one person from all fifty United States and the District of Columbia hit this site.  As if this site represented the nation’s interest in personal finance you’d find that Colorado (where I have family and friends who read this blog) beat out California, Texas and New York for first place in readers… and Vermont had one person find this site on accident ;)
I need another guest poster for this month if anyone is available to do so.  I’ll gladly write a post in return, last month’s post exchange with Brooke at the FrugalDollar.com was a success and I really enjoyed her writing.  Please send a message to randy@watchmymoneymaker.com if you’re interested.

Finding Your Ultimate Money Maker

Friday, December 28th, 2007

The second in a series on “The Ultimate Money Maker” that covers the following:

  1. Look for something you like doing that you can make money doing in a way no one has made money on it before.
  2. If you find something that others are doing, what can you do differently?
  3. Do you have a plan? If not, why? Make one!
  4. Find a mentor.
  5. Get networking already!

The file is around 6 minutes long and weighs in at 8MB in size. You will need iTunes or Quicktime to listen.

The Ultimate Money Maker

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Part one of what will probably be a multi-part series on The Ultimate Money Maker. This is probably a mythical concept for the average person if they are looking for someone else’s ideas. The Ultimate Money Maker is about 3 megabytes.
