Welcome to the Yakezie Lifestyle vertical. We plan to showcase posts by people who are leading “unconventional” lives. Money is only a means to an end, which is more often than not a desire for a better lifestyle. Our aim is to bring the two genres of personal finance and lifestyle design together, thereby creating new synergies in the space.
There is a general trend towards minimalism, world travel, and the generation of online income in the lifestyle space. The theory goes that if you can make a thousand US dollars a month, you can do anything, and see everything in the world. Coincidentally, one of our goals in the Yakezie is to either earn $1,000 a month in online revenue, or $1,000 a month more in incremental revenue. As such, there is an opportunity to bring these two dominant spaces together and learn from each other.
If you are a lifestyle blogger, feel free to contact me or any one of the Yakezie members. We’d love to hear from you and start a partnership.
Best,
Sam

Love the concept of adding a lifestyle category to the network, as many who espouse the PF lifestyle have a lot to say on the subject. I for one look forward to contributing when ready.
Cheers,

Danny, love to have you contribute. We’ll be opening up Yakezie to a whole new genre as it’s a natural transition after our next challenge!
Lifestyle is the reason I pursued Internet Entrepreneurship despite being in a comfortable Management position with a Fortune 500 company making a six figure salary. Using money to live the life we want is what my blog is all about. There are many hard working and successful individuals out there who just want more out of life in terms of freedom and flexibility. After all, what good is the money when you only have 10 days off a year?
Absolutely got to love to blurb below, looking forward to contributing and learning from the community.

Hey mate, really looking forward to your contribution! It’s a big leap of faith going from the full time 9-5 to a full-time online endeavor on your own. Your story is exactly what we’re looking to read about!
This is an interesting section for those of us who are wage slaves but look to enhance our knowledge of business and improve ourselves. I look forward to following this section.
Definitely Marc! The worse you hate your job, the more you are inclined to do something else. Hence, all people who’ve actually quit their jobs, and decided to do what they want on their own are welcome to share their story here!
I’ve found several already. Exciting stuff!
I have just become aware of the rise in lifestyle blogs. I stumbled across a site called Lifehacker and was shocked at the large following.
I use to follow Lifehacker years ago! It has improved since when I visited, but basically it’s more of a technology applied to life site! It use to (and probably still does) take technology and use it in different creative ways. It’s a cool site!
It really is. They have a ton of useful tech tips. I have been a regular reader over the past two weeks.
Hello all! My name is Deidre Lin and I thought I would drop in and introduce myself. Nice to see Yakezie is opening up a new genre. I am self-employed and branching out into new areas, one of which is expanding my Healthy Living blog/website. I’m an author, artist and advocate of healthy living in body, mind & spirit. TransFormX encompasses Healthy Living in a world of Chaos – from diet/nutrition to stress management/balance and everything in between.
I am looking forward to reading posts in the Lifestyle category!
Welcome Deidre! Always good to have new bloggers come visit and share their story. We are open to guest posts too one day if you want to share more. Cheers
Thank you for the welcome! I would be honored to submit a guest posting to Yakezie for the Lifestyles genre. Would I submit it directly to you via email and are there specific parameters (other than the usual common guest posting courtesy) that I should know about?
Posts are generally 700-1,000 words long and have a personal side to it that provides some helpful insights for the reader. Feel free to e-mail me a title and couple bullet points. Cheers
