WATCH MY STORIES for HUGE Money-Saving BOOKING TIPS/HELP!
⭐️Needing to Make Some Money From Home? Here’s the Black Friday Sale to help you!

For 12 months, I secretly tested selling books on Amazon to see if it really could bring in money. And it worked!!
 
I design them, create them, put on KDP and Amazon prints and ships them for me. I was worried the market was too saturated to actually get sales but I tested it out and it’s NOT! You just have to follow my Do’s & Don’t to get your book to actually sell.👊🏻
 
Since I figured it out and now know exactly what to do, I created a “How to Actually Sell” course, giving you step-by-step instructions to make money from home.
 
✨You can create so many different things too: notebooks, journals, planners, coloring books, activity books, log books, puzzle books, recipes books, etc!
 
Instead of wasting a ton of time trying to figure out how to do it yourself and making a ton of mistakes along the way, I’ve created my course telling you exactly what to do every step of the way: what formatting programs to use, what design program to use, what creation program to use, how to create your KDP selling account, how to list & sell your books on Amazon and all of my selling tips that will actually get your book to sell. And it’s PURE GOLD!
 
💥There are SO MANY COURSES out there that will tell you HOW to make your books. But no one can tell you exactly what to do to get SALES. And that’s the most important part, right? That’s why I created this course!
 
💥👉🏻So for Black Friday, instead of $397, get it for $84 with code MELEA.
💬Comment COURSE below and I’ll shoot the video FAQ link & deal link to you!
 
FYI: Within my “How to Actually Sell” Course, I will also tell you the 2 programs I recommend for formatting and step-by-step creation. Those will cost a total of $48 outside of my program. But will make life SO much easier & save you SO MUCH TIME. My portion of the course will give you all the tips no one knows when it comes to actually get your books to sell! And you DO NOT need a social media following to sell!👏🏻
✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you ✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you see a great deal, grab it! If an even better deal happens to pop up, you’ll still be able to return or exchange it before Christmas!👏🏻👏🏻

These are the #1 best tank top option for the new garments IMO! Tons of colors, lots of sizes, stretchy and AFFORDABLE!🤩

I had a friend in Japan hook me up with 2 pairs of the tops back in April (a 2XS and a XS). So I’ve had a lot of time buying & testing tank tops and RETURNING LOTS of tank tops over the last 6 months. You’d be surprised how many tops don’t work with the new garment tops because the back cut is slightly too narrow.  But these DO work!🎉🙌🏻

    Another idea for the show: How do you organize what deals you check each day? Do you have a routine? Do you have a list that you run through? Do you start with bookmarked websites? Or perhaps do you go first to your favorite retail websites? Maybe it depends on what you need at the moment?

    So excited that this will be online! Yayyy! Looking forward to it. I would love to hear how to "juggle" your debts. We are so, so, close to paying off all credit card debt that was accumulated while we were poor college students. I have learned how to shop smart (thanks to you!), and I have earned money to save by being an Usborne consultant. But now we are looking at paying off a car, and student loans. We have been really reasonable with those, and don't have a lot to pay off, but at the same time we want to save for family vacations and eventually for a home. Juggling those priorities is hard! But I would love to hear real life solutions to those things, that other people have done, when financial help isn't available from extended family and there are little kids still in the home.

    You're amazing, Malea! And I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see the first Episode next week!
    I'd love seeing meal planning and grocery shopping lists. I'd love to see you in the grocery store – whole trips – with the kiddos. How you balance finding the best deals while keeping your kids from going stir crazy. Maybe I'm the only one that happens to?? I also find it intimidating to show coupons, etc at the checkout like someone earlier mentioned, so seeing you do it would be awesome!
    Also, I'd love to see a 'typical day in the life of Malea" where we can see how you go about finding all the deals, etc.
    And lastly, do you keep a running list of things you'd like to purchase but want to wait for a deal on?
    I feel like when I check the daily emails I see so much great stuff and it's on such a great deal that I need to run and grab it, even though it's not something I necessarily need or should put toward. Does that make sense? Anyway, how to choose what you should actually buy, instead of buying things just cause they're a good deal.

From your blog I learned how to use subscribe and save on amazon prime, booked vacations on airbnb, used rebates apps like ibotta, etc.  that I NEVER would have known about if it weren't for you.  Keep teaching us about the new technology out there to save money.  Thanks for all you do btw!

My family and I have saved sooo much because of your site and I am excited for you to be able to share even more. This year our goal is to get out of debt! Super overwhelming goal, but I'm hoping that programs on your channel will have things that will help us accomplish our goals: tips in general for getting out of debt, food budgeting (because that's where I always spend too much), and how to still have fun for cheap (since we're pinching our pennies but hoping not to become hermits). You've always shared these in the past, but I'm looking forward to actually seeing you in action: at the check out, using your apps or your price deals, so that I don't feel as intimidated. Best of luck on your new endeavor! We'll be watching for sure :)

    So excited about this! I would love a segment on traveling for less, and using credit card rewards to your advantage/ what credit cards have the best rewards!

    I'm so glad you're doing it online so us out-of-staters can watch!
    My questions are do you do allowance? How do you teach your kids about money? If they get some, do you encourage them to save it, or take them to get something they want? How do you handle it when they're at the store begging for something, even something small like a treat? What about bank accounts for kids? My kids get $100 from great grandparents every Christmas, and I have no idea what to do with it. And how do you get your husband to agree to do Disney so much?! My husband thinks our trip we took a year and a half ago is enough to last for years! Any tips for saving on bigger travel, like cruises? And I love the beauty tips and recipes.
    Thank you thank you for all of your hard work! You are amazing!

    One suggestion for your show…you need a lavalier microphone. Don't just rely on the microphone on your phone or camera. I had to turn my laptop volume up as high as it could go in order to hear you in this video. Best of luck!

WATCH MY STORIES for HUGE Money-Saving BOOKING TIPS/HELP!
⭐️Needing to Make Some Money From Home? Here’s the Black Friday Sale to help you!

For 12 months, I secretly tested selling books on Amazon to see if it really could bring in money. And it worked!!
 
I design them, create them, put on KDP and Amazon prints and ships them for me. I was worried the market was too saturated to actually get sales but I tested it out and it’s NOT! You just have to follow my Do’s & Don’t to get your book to actually sell.👊🏻
 
Since I figured it out and now know exactly what to do, I created a “How to Actually Sell” course, giving you step-by-step instructions to make money from home.
 
✨You can create so many different things too: notebooks, journals, planners, coloring books, activity books, log books, puzzle books, recipes books, etc!
 
Instead of wasting a ton of time trying to figure out how to do it yourself and making a ton of mistakes along the way, I’ve created my course telling you exactly what to do every step of the way: what formatting programs to use, what design program to use, what creation program to use, how to create your KDP selling account, how to list & sell your books on Amazon and all of my selling tips that will actually get your book to sell. And it’s PURE GOLD!
 
💥There are SO MANY COURSES out there that will tell you HOW to make your books. But no one can tell you exactly what to do to get SALES. And that’s the most important part, right? That’s why I created this course!
 
💥👉🏻So for Black Friday, instead of $397, get it for $84 with code MELEA.
💬Comment COURSE below and I’ll shoot the video FAQ link & deal link to you!
 
FYI: Within my “How to Actually Sell” Course, I will also tell you the 2 programs I recommend for formatting and step-by-step creation. Those will cost a total of $48 outside of my program. But will make life SO much easier & save you SO MUCH TIME. My portion of the course will give you all the tips no one knows when it comes to actually get your books to sell! And you DO NOT need a social media following to sell!👏🏻
✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you ✨Holiday Return Windows have started! So if you see a great deal, grab it! If an even better deal happens to pop up, you’ll still be able to return or exchange it before Christmas!👏🏻👏🏻

These are the #1 best tank top option for the new garments IMO! Tons of colors, lots of sizes, stretchy and AFFORDABLE!🤩

I had a friend in Japan hook me up with 2 pairs of the tops back in April (a 2XS and a XS). So I’ve had a lot of time buying & testing tank tops and RETURNING LOTS of tank tops over the last 6 months. You’d be surprised how many tops don’t work with the new garment tops because the back cut is slightly too narrow.  But these DO work!🎉🙌🏻

👇🏻Halloween Candy Deal Tips Below. But heart 👇🏻Halloween Candy Deal Tips Below. But heart this post first, if you agree!🖤 Can we please bring back trick-or-treating for teens and make it cool again? I feel like there’s someone spoken rule that kids can’t trick-or-treat after a certain age. Teenagers who seem to be too old for trick-or-treating are choosing wholesome fun over partying. Let’s all just be happy about that and hand over the candy😉

🎃This year Halloween candy price points are $.30 per ounce or less! So get as close to that as you can with any last-minute finds!

💥If you can’t find any deals like that on your own at the store, there are a handful of via Amazon in that price point you should be able to get in time.

I actually got the best price/deal on the big King Size candy bars/bags from Dollar Tree ONLINE and Costco ONLINE. I know it seems extra, but this has been a tradition in our family since I was a little girl to go all out with Candy. So I’ve just wanted to keep the tradition alive with my own family.🖤

👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to 👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to Know About Getting Passports & Renewing (tips for kids too!)

1- You MUST have a checkbook!🤯 They do not take digital payments right now or debit or credit card payments. You mail the check in with your application.

2- You need your ACTUAL Birth Certificate (or your kid’s). No copies allowed. You will mail it in. They will mail it back to you.

3- Your Passport technically expires for some countries 6 months before the expiration date listed! A lot of countries will NOT let you travel to their country if you are within the last 6 months of passport validity. So always renew before that 6 month window so you don’t run into any issues!

4- We had a bad experience one time NOT paying to expedite. It took MONTHS to get our passports. So we always pay to expedite now. Expediting is supposed to be 2-3 weeks from the time the passport office receives your passport. If they are backed up, it will take longer than that, even with being expedited.

5- For kids, BOTH PARENTS listed on the Birth Certificate have to go to the Passport Appointment and SIGN IN PERSON in front of them. (Or fill out a signed notarized waiver)

6- You will mail in your current passport. But they will mail it back to you, marked as invalid a few weeks after you get your new passport in the mail. So you can keep the old passport for memories.

7- EACH Passport gets mailed to your home individually, by itself. They will mail all documents you sent, like Birth Certificates, expired Passports, etc, back to you a few weeks later.  So don’t freak out if it isn’t all in the same envelope.

8- We used to do our own Passport Photos at Walgreens or whatever, but not anymore. We had too many issues with the quality of the pictures and had to re-pay to have them done at the Passport Office. So now we just let the Passport Office take the pictures there, so we don’t have our passports delayed due to a bad picture. (They can be really strict with smiles, if the eyes aren’t open enough)

⭐️Feel free to SAVE this video for the next time you are getting Passports so you don’t make a mistake! And if you learned anything new, ❤️HEART this post for me! 🫶🏻
