I have been waiting and waiting to tell you guys about this! Finally, we are ready to make it official (and no I am not pregnant again – I know where your mind is going)….

My husband and I have started a blog TOGETHER! It’s called…

Yes, Dollars & Roses!

Please be aware that this site is in it’s beginning stages right now! Actually, hubby told me I wasn’t allowed to announce it yet, but guess what? I am anyway! I may be in trouble when he gets home! 😉

The idea behind this site will be to show YOU how we have been successful (and sometimes NOT so successful) at making money through blogging! Not only do we plan to show you what has worked for us and what has not, but we plan to show you our monthly income report. Would you believe me if I told you that we made $3,798.15 from blogging in December? We want to be as transparent as we can with you guys so that you can SEE and LEARN from what is working for us!

I have to be honest here, a lot of our blogging income doesn’t come from this site. Actually, most of it doesn’t. I just recently started making money off House of Rose. There are a few different reasons why and we plan to elaborate on that more through Dollars and Roses.

So, if you ever wondered…hmmmm how do people actually make money by blogging? We will show you! I can not tell you how many times someone has asked me that question. Over and over and over again we get people who are dumbfounded when we tell them we actually get REAL money from our websites.

I am really excited about starting this site with my husband! Not only because it is something that we are passionate about, but it’s something we are doing together and I LOVE THAT!

Sometimes he will write. Sometimes I will write. Sometimes we will both contribute to a post. And  A LOT of times we will be doing videos! You know how he feels about videos! Ha!

Some of the other topics we plan to cover besides just making money (because let’s be real – it’s not ALL about making money):

• How to start a blog (we will do a series on this)
• Tutorials on how to create videos
• Increasing your traffic
• Backlinking strategies that work
• What the heck is SEO?

And tons more topics!

We plan to do a one post/video per week! You can follow us on twitter HERE! Pretty please!

No worries, I still plan to blog here at House of Rose as usual. Telling you how crazy my kids are is part of my passion so I won’t be going anywhere. But, I am excited to begin a new journey at Dollars and Roses!

In case you think we aren’t serious, you may want to read about how we have signed up for the 30K Challenge! Holy nervousness! Pretty big challenge huh? I think we can do it!

I hope that if you are one of my House of Rose readers that you will find value in our new site! I would love for you to follow along! I am no expert, but I want to show YOU what I am learning!
