Consumerism Commentary hosted Carnival of Debt Reduction #32, and this week’s Flashback comes from Money and Investing: Blog for Debt.

This blogger had only $300 in consumer debt but getting a blog, monetizing it, and putting the income toward the debt is a great way to pay it off. Others have successfully gotten rid of a lot of debt. The Carnival of Debt Reduction’s regular contributors and hosts are living proof that this money-making activity helps reduce the debt. Two that come to mind immediately are No Credit Needed and Blogging Away Debt.

You don’t have to blog away your debt but it’s certainly easy to get started doing this. It can cost nothing, and there are ready-made communities like the No Credit Needed Network to get you off on the right foot.
