Online Shopping Resources
https://www.amazon.com – Of course! Who wouldn’t shop there! If you have an account already, be sure to sign up for an Amazon Smile account and have a donation made to your favorite charity with each of your purchases. We chose Ronald McDonald house NY for very personal reasons. I love getting quarterly updates about my shopping habits that have helped other families out. That’s also how I convince my husband that I “needed” those things….
Added bonuses of Amazon include – Create an Amazon Business Account – Personally, I’ve only just begun using this service, but I will update as we grow and use it more. Honestly did not know it existed until I became an Amazon Associate.
Did you know you could create a wedding registry on Amazon also? Once again, not something that I was aware of – guess I’m old! LOL! Maybe I did know this and forgot? I don’t know – I just know that I think it’s cool – just like I make my Christmas Wish List every year, this works the same way.
Rakuten – https://www.keysignaturesinc.com/Rakuten I started using Rakuten way back when, when it was Ebates. I have the widget downloaded on my computer so that when I click on a store that has a rebate, I get a reminder to click through them. I use it all year, but most of my shopping definitely occurs Black Friday weekend. I LOVE the check I receive in February!!! Since I have signed up, I have earned over $1000 back. You should absolutely sign up with them if you haven’t already and start making cash back on your purchases. Also, they recently added gift cards to their website – so many stores that you can purchase egifts to and then get a percentage back! Win Win right there. Also, if you click through my link above, you’ll receive $10 cash bonus!
MyPoints – https://www.keysignaturesinc.com/MyPoints I love MyPoints. I have made it a regular part of my morning routine after I check my emails. I wrote a post about how I pay for my vacation every year, and My Points is always a part of it. Each morning, there is a daily “to-do” list, whether it’s answering a survey, checking out the deal of the day, watching a video or one of the other options that are available. For each action you take, you start to accumulate points. These points are then redeemed for egift cards. Just like with Rakuten, you can shop through their links (you can’t use both at the same time, so I actually bounce back and forth between the two to see which will be the better deal for me in the end.) You can accrue points through shopping, surveys, weekly or monthly challenges, printing coupons and more!

Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing –https://www.keysignaturesinc.com/makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing I am actually in the process of implementing so many of Michelle’s ideas to my blog as you are reading this! I TORE through this course – reading and rereading. I knew a few things already that she had talked about, but there was so much more that I didn’t know. At the time that I am writing this, I have been full time blogging for 3 months – and was trying to figure out as much as I could on my own. Michelle’s course continues to show up in post after post. I finally invested some money into the blog and it was totally worth it.
Scale Your Blog Success – https://scaleyourblogsuccess.com
Sasha Lassey (same as above!) and Cate Rosales have come together to help bloggers grow their blogging business success.
This is a new group that I have had the pleasure of being a part of. There is a free masterclass that is available. Once you join, there is a private Facebook page that we all ask questions on and Sasha and Cate announce our monthly goals and Live Q&A sessions. I love the personable approach they have and very detailed in what they are discussing and helping grow organic traffic.
Sasha Lassey – Everyday She’s Sparkling – Free Ultimate Blogging Toolkit For Beginners – Sasha has been a tremendous resource since I started blogging several months ago. With her guidance, I have been able to continue to grow my blog and social media presence. The toolkit she provides has been a system that I have repeatedly gone back to for advice
Blogging for New Bloggers – https://www.keysignaturesinc.com/LegalBundleValuePack – Lucrezia Iapichino has taken all the hard work of legal pages for your blog and put it in lamens terms for all to understand and use for your website. Legal pages are so important and she has also added so many freebies to this Value Pack it’s ridiculous. Since using her templates and adding disclaimers, I have found that more affiliates have been accepting my applications. I started with her free course, but ultimately, I ended up buying the value pack because it worked for the direction that I plan to take my blog in business wise.
Cate Rosales – https://www.sweetandsimplelife.com
Cate’s website is all about setting up your blog, growing traffic and monetizing as well. Lots of freebies and paid for courses on her site as well. Her private Facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/becomingablogger is a huge resource for engagement with your social media pages.
