This was a fantastic year for Consumerism Commentary. Readership has grown by 10% since 2009, and I’m happy with these results considering the website has been around since 2003. There are many readers who were with Consumerism Commentary since its start — thank you! And for those who may be new to Consumerism Commentary, welcome. I hope we continue to have something to offer anyway. I’m always open to suggestions, so contact us if you have something to share.
Some of my best ideas come from readers, so if you have a personal experience to share, let me know.

I think is one of the best yearly roundups I have come across. I am a new reader to your site, but I can say that your post on how you earn side money from blogging, and realistic expectations on blogging income have already had an effect on my plans and goals for 2011. I also like the post on should some students be discouraged from attending college. I am looking forward to reading your work this year. 2011 will be a great success for you!
Great compilation of excellent articles. Thanks for the great work as usual!
Thanks for including me in your list. :-)
No problem, Donna. Thanks for being our guest!
