Adsense to help earn revenue...hopefully!

For those of you who don't know, adsense is a google tool that can be added to your blog. What it does is add ads to your blog and each time someone clicks on an ad, you get paid! Pretty cool, huh? Well we'll see if it works for me. I think my biggest challenge will be getting traffic to my blog. First and foremost my blog is here to help people, any income is a plus. I have questions for those of you who already blog.

How do you get more traffic to your site?


Does adsense really work?

Are there any other tools that you can use in addition to or instead of adsense?

Any information would be helpful to me but all those who look at this site.

Thanks in advance to all those who respond and happy blogging!

My new financial blog!!

Wow! I never thought I'd be a blogger but I have a lot to offer and I know many of you out there can benefit from my story and relate to my goals. I have a goal to be debt free as do most Americans, but the way society is designed makes it extremely hard for us to meet our financial goals. We are constantly bombarded from all angles with information to get further and further into debt. We are all natural consumers. We want what we can't afford. We purchase things to make us feel good but don't always think about the consequences.
I'm at the point in my life where I am sick and tired of being in debt. I want financial freedom, and I am now taking steps to make that happen. For those of you who want to be debt free, you too can take hold of your finances starting right now! This blog is for anyone who wants to save money, get out of debt and live life with less stress. Its for those who want to spend more time with family and freinds, rather than worry and stress over money problems. Please, allow me to introduce myself...

My name is Jack and I'm 27 years old. I am married to my beautiful wife and have an amazing daughter. I consider myself somewhat financially savvy as do my friends and family. People come to me for advice on new car purchases, their mortgage, insurance, etc. I work in the insurance industry so I don't possess any special financial wizardry, I merely do lots of research when it comes to major purchases. You might say I have a knack for saving money. Like I said my goal is to be debt free, other than my mortgage. So let's get started! From time to time I will post blogs and articles on here that involve debt reduction and saving money. Welcome!!!

Governor Schwarzenegger Discusses Ways to Help Homeowners Avoid Foreclosure

acramento, California - Governor Schwarzenegger Discusses Ways to Help Homeowners Avoid Foreclosure in his radio address. Hi, this is Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger with another California Report. Thanksgiving was Thursday and all across California, people gathered in their homes with friends and family to share a meal, give thanks and build memories that last a lifetime. But in too many of those homes, the Thanksgiving holiday was saddened by the threat of a mortgage foreclosure. A survey last week said that 7 of the 16 metropolitan areas with the nation’s highest foreclosure rates are right here in California. And by the way, another half million Californians have sub-prime loans that will jump to higher rates in the next two years, so they are feeling this pressure too. To lose your home in a foreclosure is an emotional crash that can take years to overcome. It devastates families, hurts neighborhoods and depresses our economy, which is a big reason why our state revenues have taken such a big hit. But we don’t have to sit idly by to watch the American Dream turn into the American Nightmare. Help is available. I urge all Californians who are having trouble making their payments to seek assistance. Many lenders are willing to work with the borrowers on finding a solution, so don’t run when they reach out to you. Answer the phone when they call. If you get something in the mail, respond to it. And we have set up a website to help. It is available at http://www.yourhome.ca.gov/ or in Spanish at http://www.sucasa.ca.gov/. The Homeownership Preservation Foundation also has a toll-free hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE. We want next Thanksgiving to be filled with wonderful memories, not foreclosure worries. So we met with lenders and some of the biggest companies have agreed to help. Normally the payments for many sub-prime loans would spike up when the rates are supposed to be adjusted. But these lenders have agreed to keep mortgages at the initial lower rate, for a period of time, for people living in their homes and making timely payments. This will help more than 100,000 California families keep their homes and we are encouraging other lenders to do the same. I am also working with our legislators to make sure we take whatever steps are necessary to better protect consumers. This approach does not involve a government subsidy or a government bailout. It involves common sense, pragmatism and doing the right thing. By working together we can protect the American Dream, and our economy, without hurting the American taxpayer.
