MY OH MY...IS IT JUNE ALREADY?

It's June already! Oh my, how time flies!!! Goodness!

I wonder how the single moms are faring with the increase in gas and grocery prices. Everything just seems to be going up, up and up...with the exception of home prices. Honestly, I don't even want to know how much my house is worth...I bought at the end of the market rise but even still I am quite sure I am upside down on my loan. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Nonetheless, I have 3 powerful ideas that us enterprising single moms can use to shave our expenses and boost our bottom line!

They are...drum roll please...

1. Share the load- Wherever you have excess capacity considering sharing some with another. For example, advertising expenses. Create a postcard with your information on one side and the information of a complementary business on the back. You split the costs 50/50! If you take advantage of 50% off postcard offers from companies like Vistaprint...this is a steal! Click here for special deals from Vistaprint!

2. Go For Information - You have to invest in yourself and get the information that will help you grow your business. Before you vend and another event, before you pay for another ad, get the information to learn if that is the right thing for you. Remember, information stays with you forever, once you are in the know, you are good to go.

3. Increase Your Accounts Payable!! No, i'm not crazy! What I mean is explore affiliate programs to help you boost your own sales! You pay people if they make a sale for you. Usually a % of the total amount sold, 15%-50% I have seen, but you choose the terms. I will gladly pay anyone a % of the money they make for me! How about you?
