January 2, 2020 By Kevin | Just Start Investing

Health savings account rules are easy to follow. On top of that, they are one of the most underrated investment accounts available.

A health savings account also comes with rules you need to follow in order to use them. Any tax-advantaged account, of course, has a string of rules attached to it.

How to Make Money with Youtube Videos in 5 Easy Steps

December 19, 2019 By Michael Dinich

Are you looking for a lucrative side hustle or full-time gig? Learning how to make money with YouTube videos could be the right thing for you.

Why YouTube?

Because it’s one of those online places you go to find everything!

If you want a recap of a sports highlight from last night, or ten years ago, you can find it. If you want to learn how to fix a household issue or sell items on eBay, you go to YouTube. Or, if you happen to be an avid fisherman and you want to learn a new technique, YouTube is your place.

YouTube contains infinite amounts of information – it’s the second largest search engine after Google.

It’s also a phenomenal vehicle for entertainment. If you have a specific interest (like ultimate Frisbee) or you want to watch a clip from your favorite childhood television show, YouTube has a seemingly limitless inventory of this type of content.

How Does Poshmark Work: A Full Review

December 4, 2019 By Daniella @ I Like To Dabble

Who wouldn’t like to have a little extra cash these days? Whether through your favorite side hustle, a part-time job, passive income via investments or any other means. One way I’ve found to make some extra money is with Poshmark. In today’s post, How Does Poshmark Work, I’ll show you how I use Poshmark to buy and sell used brand named items online.

I had to check it out, so I signed up with a friend’s sign up code and got a free $5. Then I started listing some of the same stuff I had listed on eBay along with clothes that didn’t fit me any longer.

Now, I could’ve taken those clothes to a clothing resale shop where I would probably make $2 on each garment, or sell it on Poshmark for 400% more.

Naturally, I chose the latter.

How to Overcome a Challenge: An Example in Business

November 27, 2019 By Jeff Wiener - The Kickass Entrepreneur

Who would have thought that one of my favorite employees resigning would be one of the best leadership lessons of my career? Not me, but it gave me the opportunity to overcome a challenge that would eventually lead to me quadrupling profits and selling my business!

Let me explain.

I started my small business fresh out of college in 1991 at the age of 23.

Other than a three-month gig, I had never really worked for anyone or had a formal job. I’ve been self-employed my entire life, and for the most part, the leadership lessons I’ve learned over the years was through “on-the-job” training.
