Debt Reduction Goals: 5 Things I’m Working On

Hola everyone! So since my last post, where I gabbed about my unexpected vehicle troubles, I’ve really buckled down on any kind of spending. Not that I wasn’t already doing that, but now I have to be even more diligent. I’ve also been working on some debt reduction goals for myself that I thought I’d share with you. Without further ado, here is what I’m currently working on and/or putting into motion soon:

1. Research and read 3 books on becoming debt free.
   There’s nothing like expanding your knowledge when you badly want something, right? So, I have committed myself to searching out 3 (hopefully great!) debt books, as part of my debt reduction goals. I’ll let ya all know in another post how these books panned out.
2. Work on other website(s) I own.
   So, I own two other websites. I’ve had one of them for several years, and the other one is only about 2 years old now. I kept using the same excuse that I was always just too busy to work on them. I was busy, but in reality, I could have made time. Admittedly, I think I was just scared. But now, I am on a serious mission. No more fears! So, my debt reduction goal with those websites now is to try to make a bit of extra money with them. So I am going to revive at least one of them for now…likely the one I’ve owned for years. It’s more established with more content, etc.
3. Sell more items online.
   I think I mentioned in a previous post that I had listed some of my old items online for sale. Well, some of those were books…two have already sold, and one is supposed to be picked up today (fingers crossed!). They actually sold a lot quicker than I thought. These books I had actually picked up at a thrift store about 5 years ago, and I am getting at least 4 times the amount I paid for each of them! So, I’m thinking that I will go thrift store shopping soon and pick up as many as I can. I have the Amazon app on my phone so I can scan a book by bar code and see if it’s selling on there and how much it’s selling for. I like this as one of my debt reduction goals because I love to shop!
4. Set up Fiverr account.
   I came across some success stories on Fiverr. It’s a website where you can offer your services for money. There are a lot of things people look for on there, from proofreaders to graphic designers to voice-over talent, etc, etc, etc. I have some experience in proofreading so I’m going to set up an account on there to do just that. I’ll keep you posted on if I get any work!
5. Work on this blog more often.
   Last, but not least, of my debt reduction goals is to work on this blog more often. I had a busy summer and didn’t get on here much but summer is coming to an end now (sadly, sniffle sniffle), the kids are back in school, and things have slowed down now. Believe it or not, working on this blog keeps me on track with fulfilling my tasks on chipping away at my debt.
