Hello everyone, my name is Sean and I own SmallBusinessBillionaire.com.  I'm joining the Yakezie Challenge.  I write about my experiences with the small business lifestyle which includes real estate investing, small business ownership – retail and wholesale, and personal finance.  I started the blog in November 2013 with the goal of creating a resource for small business owners.  

I currently have no Alexa ranking but I'll keep working at this until I hit the 200,000 mark.  

Nice to meet you all!

I don't know why, but when I joined the challenge, I was so scatterbrained that I never utilized the forum as much as I should have. But I started my blog mid-August and I'm at around 138,000 right now. The goal is to be under 100,000 by the end of the year. I'm looking forward to foruming it up with y'all!

 

Peace. 

Welcome aboard Ben

I just want to (belatedly) thank all the well wishers! My Alexa rank is at about 276,000 now, so I'm definitely making progress. Hoping to just keep plugging along.

Hey friends!  I'm Ryan (Mr. Roboto) and I run http://www.impersonalfinance.com, a site dedicated to helping millennials and others get their finances in order.  My wife and I are a couple of hipsters (not on purpose), and we have picked up some pretty baller habits and knowledge along the way.  We didn't set out to be hipsters, it's just that we used to be reallypoor, and lived as such. Then, when we stopped being as poor, we kept living like that because it was a good way to get out of debt and grow our wealth.  I just joined the Yakezie Challenge on December 14, 2013.  My current Alexa rank is

 

6,998,409, although thats about 3 million spots better than yesterday!  So, right now I'm shooting for top 200k by June.  I don't know much about growing a blog, so I'm definitely going to be leaning on y'all as a resource (if you don't mind).  Thanks in advance for all of the help!

Yeah, I don't try to hide it-I just try to do a good job not specifically mentioning them on my blog.  I don't know whether I should go to blogging "anonymously" or what-but I do know that I don't want to have to submit everything I post to compliance.  That would just be a pain, and it would limit me just blogging about random "musings" I think. 

Any advice for that?  Do you submit everything up?

Hey Jon, my experience with Northwestern is that they don't allow anything extracurricular whatsoever that could somehow be construed as personal finance advice. When I worked for them, I had to take down a link to an article about life insurance, even though I didn't advocate buying it at all. As far as I know, they've got some steep penalties for this kind of stuff, so just a warning!
