Hey everyone,

 

Just got final confirmation that I'll be participating in a Huffington Post Live segment tonight at 9pm EST. You'll be able check it out here: http://live.huffingtonpost.com. Our topic is "Can You Afford a Baby?"

 

I have no idea how they found me, but I'm pretty excited about the opportunity. Both Jake from iheartbudgets and Sandy from yesiamcheap were both kind enough to respond to my requests for advice based on their own experiences, so hopefully I won't look too bad.

 

Thanks again to everyone for all your support. Things like this definitely make it feel pretty fun.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was a fun experience. They do a great job over there making it easy. The final cut is here if you'd like to check it out: Can You Afford a Baby?

 

In case you're curious, I've gotten exactly 0 traffic from this thing so far. At least nothing where they directly clicked over from HuffPo. Still a cool thing to be able to put on the resume though.

At least you can put up an "as featured on" area on your site!

Ha,Ha! I just recorded couple pf videos that may be featured on The Telegraph (I'll let you know if they do) but have been already warned that this may not bring any trafic (though John is recoding the server expecting about a million hits; in my dream :)). I still think it is a great thing to do: I had great time doing it; it still offers visibility and, of course, increases credibility – the Huff Post and The Telegraph don't invite guests that are incompetent and hopeless :).

 

So, well done. And remember, the trafic spike is nice but for the moment; the glory and reputation is forever (cheesy, I know but…technically correct).
