Hi everyone…..I read more than a few of these blogs when I was just a graduate student who had a personal finance/self improvement hobby.  I never knew there was this loose affiliation behind some of it.  Anyway, now I am a broke professional, hence my blog name http://www.brokeprofessionals.com.

 I have been blogging for only a month and my Alexa traffic ranking is currently 2,608,799.  I am confused from the submissions guidelines because they say I should "comment" on my Alexa ranking?  Does this meet that requirement?  

Anyway, really excited to be starting the "Yakezie Challenge (c)"  and to helping promote your work, collaborating, and continuing as a fan of many of your blogs.  I am also excited to discover some new blogs that I might have missed along the way.  If anyone has any advice, etc., please let me know, either here or at webhost@brokeprofessionals.com.  Thanks again!

Welcome!  I remember being a broke professional…now I'm just a slightly less broke, lol. 

And yes, your mention of your Alexa counts.  :-)  Let me know if I can ever help.  I'm always looking for guest posts if you are ever interested.

Hi there brokeprofessionals and welcome! To properly get started in the Yakezie Challenge you are going to want to read a few pages on Yakezie.com as well as the introductory post that Sam, the founder of Yakezie, wrote on his own blog FinancialSamurai. If you take a quick read through my Yazkezie announcement post you will find links to pretty much everything you need. Here is my Yakezie post:

HowToSaveMoney.ca Is Joining The Yakezie Challenge!

If you still have questions after reading that, post again here or shoot me a message on my site.

Also, commenting on your ranking would mean announcing it on your blog, not here. But you should stop by the new challengers thread and announce yourself when you do officially decide to start the challenge.

Welcome, Broke Professionals. It's good to see more bloggers from New Jersey!

I just commented on your site, but I think your spam filter doesn't like me.
