Thanks IZEA!

One day last December I decided to find out what IZEA was all about.  I had heard of them and had saw some of my bloggy friends writing for them.  I wasn’t sure if it was for real though- could I actually get paid to blog?

Turns out- it is for real and IZEA is a great company to work with.  Since that day last December I have written over 800 posts for IZEA between their two different marketing sites.  Not only has writing for IZEA provided us with some extra income to purchase things we wouldn’t normally have bought- but it has actually allowed Rich to pursue his dream job.  He has always wanted to work from home and wanted to try doing an online business.  Since I was a stay-at-home-mom I wasn’t bringing in any income, making the idea of Rich leaving his job pretty scary.  Once I started writing for IZEA and saw that I could bring some money for us it was possible for Rich to leave his job that made him very unhappy and to work at making his dream come true.  For many people writing for IZEA is probably just some extra fun money so they can buy extra things.  For us, it has been life-changing.  And for that I will be forever thankful to IZEA.

So, imagine how thrilled I was the other day to get a package in the mail from IZEA letting me know they had picked me for their Postie of the Month for the month of August.  I mean- out of the thousands of bloggers who write for IZEA they picked little old me.  And they sent me a package full of goodies.

Check out all of the fun stuff IZEA gave me!

And here is my Postie of the Month award!

Congratulations to me!  And thank you to IZEA!!
