I’m one month into my grand adventure of writing this blog and running my own business. So far I wrestled an $1,214 iPhone bill to the ground, dreamed about bras (but didn’t end up buying any), discovered a really simple budget that dramatically reduces expenses, and became a radio star (in the words of one fan).
It has been a ton of fun, a ton of work, and I don’t plan to give up any time soon. You can catch me on the radio again on Mar. 5 or, if you live in Los Angeles, meet me on April 25 at Borders in Thousand Oaks, where I am scheduled to talk about saving money.
I have five more months before my self-imposed deadline to make a profit and I hope, with your support, to make my dream come true.
You can support me and Bargain Babe by signing up to receive my email updates and by telling everyone you know to sign up! (Plus, if you sign up by Mar. 23 you have a chance to win a $25 Starbucks gift card!) I want to dramatically increase my hits so that advertising revenue becomes a greater part of my income. See those ads on the right? I get money when you click on them.
You can also hire me to speak to your group about saving money. I have spoken to community groups, private clubs, and in college classrooms. My talk is a bargain!
Thank you for your readership and support. I am truly grateful.
Your cheapskate,
Julia
aka Bargain Babe
Aren’t we already signed up? Isn’t that why we get your daily emails? Do I need to sign up somewhere else too>
Linda, if you are receiving Bargain Babe Email Updates from me, then yes, you are signed up. You do not need to do anything else – other than stay signed up – to be entered into the drawing. Thanks for asking.
You’re doing a great job – hang in there!
Thanks, Marni! I appreciate you helping me out by reading Bargain Babe and telling your friends out me.
I love to receive your daily budget hints. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Hope you will tell your friends about BargainBabe.com!
Been a fan for over a year. I can’t access your new site at work, I think “babe” in the title has something to do with it. Anyway, I live in LA, please post info about your money talk at Borders. Keep doing what your doing, we need you.
Brenda, that is very strange. I don’t know why the site would be blocked unless you have a very strict filter at work. You will have to read BargainBabe.com at home for now. Will definitely keep you posted about my talk at Borders. Looking forward to meeting you.
Congratulations Babe!
I’m so excited to support you and watch you expand the Bargain Babe to your full potential. You’re a Rock Star!

ads market is very low in this economy so i think you shoudl wait 1 year to make a good profit with this blog
I wish I had that kind of time! I am encouraged by my progress in one month and am hopeful I will be able to turn a profit in a relatively short period of time.
