More About My Online/Blogging Life

Arika tagged me last week, and I’m finally getting around to answering her… sorry Arika!

1.  How long have you been blogging?

My first blog was my Beacon Financial Tips & Tools blog, and I started it in early 2006.  A few months later, I started Tax Tips for eBay Sellers, then Financial Tips for WAHMs. 

I update Financial Tips for WAHMs the most frequently, and it’s probably the blog I have the most fun with, posting pics for Wordless Wednesday and participating in memes like this one.

I was on Product Sellers Talk Radio!

Last week, Michelle Waters of Product Sellers Talk Radio interviewed me about year end tax tips for product sellers.

We talked about implementing a good bookkeeping system, what tax planning means and
what expenses are deductible if you have yet to make a profit in your
business.

We also talked about the top tax deductions that home
business owners often miss on their returns.
