Most of the bloggers (including me) in the last month were discussing the recession in one or another way. I am a bit tired of talking about it – with or without our talks the recession is here and we have to deal with it. So I have decided to select the best posts of November that don’t directly discuss the crisis. Here you go:

Steve Olson is not exactly a PF blogger, but his wife has a post that I want to share with you, because it really contains very useful insights – Want to Start a Small Business on the Internet? The Myths and the Reality.

Each year the mass media is irradiating you with ideas what else to buy on the holidays and how to spend more money (how could you not love the TV). Some websites and blogs give some good advice how to save money instead of spending it, which is generally better. I want to share some ideas how to earn more on the holidays which hopefully is going to be even more useful. Let’s see what you can do:

Once upon a time there was Joe who made living by selling hairdresser’s furnishing. One day Joe started reading personal finance blogs.

The smart investor buys when the market is down. What are you waiting for? There will be no better time for buying cheap assets than the time of economy crisis. Businesses, real estate, stocks, even human power and ideas is getting cheap. If you have cash now, you are going to be at the winner’s side.

Almost everyone can write somehow which makes writing one of the most popular ways of earning alternative income. The main factor determining your probable success is how good you can write how productive you can be. The good news is that you don’t need to be Shakespeare. In fact if you write for alternative income you must not be Shakespeare because most people will not understand your writing. If you want to make money by writing you must be able to write in simple, understandable and engaging style. That’s not as hard as it may look – most people who write blogs can do it. And you most probably can do it too.
