Beating Broke Guide to Your Credit Score

By 5 Comments

Almost a year ago, I released the Beating Broke Guide to your Credit Score.  Since then, a lot has happened and it seems to me that your credit score could become more important than ever as we recover from this economic disaster.  Previously, I had it set up such that you had to sign up for the newsletter to receive a copy.  I’m changing that now.  The graphic in the right sidebar now links directly to the guide in it’s pdf form.

It’s one hundred percent FREE, so please grab a copy and take a look.  I think you might learn something.

You can download it at https://www.beatingbroke.com/BBGCS/BBGCS.pdf

The guide is now available for the Kindle as well!  Please note that the kindle version is not free as the pdf version is.  The pdf version will remain free for downloading.

Free Credit Score Report

Your Credit Score ReportIf you read this blog through a feed reader, or just haven’t visited in the last week or so, you likely haven’t seen the new banner that I’ve put up on the right side of the site.  It’s a lovely little banner (designed by me) for a White Paper / Report that I put together.  The subject, fittingly, is Your Credit Score.  In it, I write about what a credit score is, how it is used, and the steps that you can take to improve your credit score.

My hope is that the report will be help people learn what the correct usage of a credit score are, and what the benefits are of having a good credit score.  Which is why I’ve made it a FREE report.  All you have to do is sign up for the Beating Broke newsletter.

What is the newsletter?  Well, it’s a bit in the fledgling state, but the idea is that you will get the occasional update about the site with an article or two as well as some articles and information that won’t appear here on the blog.  I promise to not fill up your email inbox with the newsletter.  In fact, at the moment, I only plan on sending it out once a month at most.  More likely, bi-monthly.

The report is well worth it if you ask me.  I’m a bit biased since I wrote it, but I really do think it could be a very valuable resource for someone who doesn’t know much about credit scores.

Also, I want the report to get into as many hands as possible, so if you want a copy without signing up for the newsletter, just send me a note with the contact form and I’ll send you a copy.

Beating Broke is on Twitter

As I made mention of earlier, I’ve been playing around on twitter for a little while.  I’ve mainly been using my personal account, but thought that it was about time for Beating Broke to get some representation there.

So, you can now follow Beating Broke on Twitter.  The user name is @beatingbroke and, while I have it set up (I think) to update with the posts I do here, I also plan on adding other updates as well.  I’m hoping to stoke the conversation a little.
