2. Comment. I always encourage everyone to interact with each article on Own The Dollar. I never censor real comments made by a real, live person. They are a huge part of a blog and add greatly to the lively discussion. Just add your comments to the bottom of a post and join in the discussion.
3. Follow me on Twitter. I refuse to tell you when I am heading to Wal-Mart or what I am eating for dinner tonight through Twitter. I mean….do you really care? I don’t even care about hearing that kind of crap. But, I will post tons of interesting articles, great websites, inspiring quotes, extra follow-up material, financial commentary, and other great personal finance information on Twitter. You can follow me on Twitter!
If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, Gary Vaynerchuk said it best when he said that Twitter was “word of mouth on steroids”. What a great definition of something that is so hard to explain! Check it out, and see why I won’t bore you on Twitter with what I had for breakfast today (Special K cereal for all of you keeping score at home though)!
4. Send me your questions and suggestions. Send me an email and let me know what you’re thinking, what you’d like to see me discuss on the blog, and any personal finance or investing questions you might have. I respond to every single email, and I would love to hear from you.
