There are a lot of get rich quick schemes out there. One of the oldest and best is writing a book (or blog) on the very process of getting rich itself. Fill the book with correct but hopelessly vague advice, wait for the dreaded Hawthorn Effect, then promote yourself as an expert.

An established author who uses this technique is Robert Kiyosaki, of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. His book is stuffed with oversimplified stories (of possibly dubious truthfulness). Try to use his books as a practical how-to manual for increasing your wealth, and well… good luck to you.

I don’t want this blog to fall into that category. Let me state, for the record, that I am not rich. I’d like to be one day, but I have a long, long way to go. I decided to start this blog after growing frustrated with many of the money blogs out there that seem to follow the nice-sounding-but-vague-and-impractical method for riches.

The goal of this blog is to be different. To detail real, practical how to articles on ideas that I’ve had experience working or that seem like good ideas. So, lets get started.
