What’s it all about?
Since I was
discharged from hospital, I found that I had time on my hands; I’m a recovering
alcoholic and I suffer from Depression and Anxiety but don’t let that put you
off!
I started to
write a personal blog about my various conditions and found that I really
enjoyed writing. Then I started to explore more how I might be able to,
perhaps, move into writing as a career and then this lead me to the topic of
web marketing and affiliate marketing.
I wrote a
few articles and published them on some article publishing sites and lo and
behold, people read them!
So, having
discovered that I can write, I know a little about the internet and I need to
earn some money, I’ve decided to give writing a money making blog a go.
There’s lots
of talk about monetizing a blog on the internet but I didn’t feel comfortable
adding loads of Adverts to my personal blog about my recovery because it feels
a bit cheap profiteering from a medical condition so Money Matters is born.
So What’s Different?
There are
loads and loads of web sites promoting money saving and money making ideas on
the internet. Some are scams, some are owned by large corporations some simply
hold themselves out to be a niche website and then re-direct you to adverts.
I make no
bones about the fact that I want to earn money from this site. I currently live
off benefits and live in a hostel but I want to re-build my life and start
again.
Adverts and
links you see on this blog will, I hope, earn me some money. If it’s enough to
get me of benefits then great, perhaps I can make an honest living for myself
again and, if it works, I’ll share how it was done as well.
My Expertise
I have run
businesses, I have travelled the world, I have lived well; so finding myself
with nothing and learning how to live on next to no money has been, shall we
say, an education.
So, my
mission now, is to seek out bargains, discover new ways to make and to save
money and to share it with the world. To boldly go where no recovering
alcoholic has been before! (Well this one anyway)
