Side Hustles, Passive Income, & Finance
I’ve always been a fan of receipt scanning apps or cashback apps because they provide relatively straightforward (and sometimes passive) ways to save money. I’ve been using apps like Drop for ages to receive cashback on a few select stores, and I have even covered popular receipt scanning apps before on This Online World. However, while there are cashback titans like Dosh that have a…
One of the most popular posts I have ever written on This Online World was my post on The Road to a $100/Month blog. That post was an amalgamation of everything I learned in my first 8 months of blogging, and I highly recommend starting out with that post if you are relatively new to blogging. However, if you’ve been stuck in the $100-$300 range…
When I first started to monetize my own blog, I turned to Google Adsense. Google Adsense was actually a critical part in earning my first $100 as a blogger, and it has been a relatively steady source of income for me in the past. However, I’ve always known in the back of my mind that I would one day want to move away from Google…
Since graduating from college and working full-time, I’ve started to notice I’m experiencing elements of lifestyle creep.

One of my favorite things about blogging is that even after running This Online World for more than a year, there is always more to learn when it comes to growing a successful blog. Content planning, marketing, graphic design, SEO…the list of tasks associated with blogging seems endless, and I have certainly gone through periods of uncertainty and confusion when it comes to blog management….
Once in a while (and by ‘once in a while’ I really just mean once, so far) I like to write specific app reviews. I wrote my Hurdlr App review a few months back after one of their representatives walked me through some of the app features and uses. While this was a first for me, I enjoy sharing what I consider to be cool…
It doesn’t matter if you’re searching for a new place to eat at, a hotel room to book, or a new product to buy, there is often one thing that can dramatically influence a purchasing decisions: reviews. In fact, studies have found that 86% of consumers read local reviews when searching for products/services in their area, and reviews can be almost as powerful as personal…
