Hi Kay – You might want to begin investing some of it. A Roth IRA is a good way to do it. Your contributions can be withdrawn at any time without having to pay income tax or an early withdrawal penalty. Within the Roth, you might consider investing through a robo-advisor, like Betterment or Wealthfront. Just remember though that no investment is guaranteed to make money for you, and might even lose money if the stock market falls.

I’ve been working multiple jobs since Age 16, and over the years, while living off of Ramen, i’ve been able to save up about $9,000. I’ve been reading your different blogs about low-cost small businesses and different ways to invest. Is there any additional advice you would give a 20 year old trying to grow their savings? How do I build a more professional portfolio being young in a competitive business world?

Great suggestions. I graduated college in 2014 from West Virginia University and I wish I had thought of Uber at the time. It existed but wasn’t main stream yet. What a great college job that would have been. I would have started blogging much sooner, too. I did finally start this year as you have helped open my eyes to the potential. I worked as a financial analyst, now an insurance broker, and I own several of my own side businesses and now my blog. So I’m hoping that background will help me get success in it.

What were some of the things you did in the early days of your blog to drive traffic to it? How did you connect with individuals and other bloggers without risking being to spammy? Thanks, Jeff!

Hi Zachary – Congratulations on making a success of blogging. Not many people do. I can tell from the blog name that it’s probably making money! Keep it going for as long as you can, it might even become your primary career after graduation. A blog is very much a business that can lead to a lot of good things!

I personally went with the blog option and got into that a while back and have built my site DollarSignUniversity.com from the ground up! It’s tough, but definitely an enjoyable option to make some side cash during college!

Hi Lance – It can be. But you have to get trained, and it usually requires working Friday and Saturday nights, which a lot of college students don’t want to do. If you’re willing to learn and work the hours it can be a really good part-time job.

Hi Ava – Approach blogs you read regularly and feel that you have something to contribute. See if they’ll accept content for pay. You may need to offer to write for free for a bit to get a list of published work. Keep working at it, and you’ll get there.
