Every Wednesday will feature a snowflaking tip of the week found on one of the Snowflake Revolution member blogs. This may be a place to find snowflakes, a method to use snowflaking, or anything else I find in our vast and knowledgeable membership. If you’d like a chance to be included, send links to your best snowflaking posts to me through the join page contact form.

This week’s tip comes from Shana at Smart Easy Money, who writes about taking something you enjoy and turning it into some extra money in addition to your normal income.  For example, she pet-sits (although that isn’t all!).   I’ve also written about this recently, in that I am turning my taekwondo hobby into a source of more income for us.  So think about the hobbies you love - and ways you can monetize them!

A timely tip comes this week from Beachgirl’s Budget Blog.  She recently completed her tax return and was getting a sizable refund.  She immediately earmarked this money for savings and debt reduction, two worthy snowflake targets!  Too often when we receive windfalls of this sort, we make plans for big purchases.  Snowflakes are not only small, they can be big too, and one big snowflake can really make a huge dent in your goals quickly!

Thanks Beachgirl for the tip! 

Every Wednesday, I am going to choose a snowflaking tip of the week I gathered from one of the Snowflake Revolution member blogs.    This may be a place to find snowflakes, a method to use snowflaking, or anything else I find in our vast and knowledgeable membership.  If you’d like a chance to be included, send links to your best snowflaking posts to me through the join page contact form.

This week, my snowflaking tip comes from Me Vs Debt, which is obviously from the name a debt reduction blog.  Amanda is an avid snowflaker and the tip I’m sharing from her blog is to snowflake rebates you receive.  She illustrates that in this post by snowflaking the money she got from a rebate on her cell phone (which the company actually ended up paying her to buy, bravo!) but this can be done for any rebate.  Think of it this way:  you’ve already paid out the money, the rebate check comes much later, so it is almost like found money.  And found money is snowflaking money. 

Thanks Amanda for sharing your tip!
