Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Hello, I'm Michael, and I run the personal finance and pop culture blog, Money Geek. We like to joke that the website is a personal finance blog for people who are not personal finance junkies.

Our readers are the people who won't read other blogs because they are too 'judgey' or too 'preachy.' We use lots of pop culture references and gamification to make personal finance topics fun and accessible.

The blog grew to over 250k monthly page views in our first nine months. In our second year, we set out to hit six figures in revenue, which we hit in only eight months. Currently, the site makes over 10k a month.

Today, I run Your Money Geek and our product is a paid blogging mastermind group, branded as Money Mix Insiders which I developed with two other blogging partners. Our Insiders program is where we take a hands-on approach to help site owners increase traffic and grow their revenue.
