Just the other day, I was going over my bank statements looking into a payment when I came across an unexpected charge of $171. I hadn’t bought anything for that price recently, so I had no idea where it came from… until I looked at who the charge was made to. Back in February of 2019, I signed up for a business marketing program, and for the last 11 months, I’ve been paying for the monthly subscription that I’d completely forgotten about. To make a long story short, I kept digging and found two more subscriptions I’d forgotten. By the time I was done (and tired of banging my head on my desk), I had found over $3000 spent on no less than 3 subscriptions that I wasn’t even using!
If this has happened to you, then you may be a victim of a marketing method known as the “business subscription model,” a.k.a subscription marketing. You know those services, the ones you pay monthly to have The Harvard Business Review suggests that the subscription business “attracted more than 11 million U.S. subscribers in 2017.” In an article published by Forbes, it is estimated that this industry produces more than $2.6 billion in annual revenue.
You see, the sustainability of these businesses relies heavily on the number of subscriptions they maintain annually. These businesses study the data on how many subscribers they acquire, how many of those subscribers stay subscribed for the year, how many people fall to the wayside over time (and when), and a number of other statistics. The reason is that subscriptions are easy, repeat business! My question is, what percentage of those subscriptions are from entrepreneurs like us who simply forget that we even subscribed in the first place.
Now that I have probably triggered most of you into going through your own bank statements, here are a few tips on how to keep that hard-earned money safe in your account. Here are a few tips to help you keep your money in your accounts:
The subscription business model, though high in revenue generation, is also a very risky model. The consumer market has become over-saturated, resulting in many of these virtual e-commerce entities struggling or failing. This may result in subscription or product increases. If you have a subscription that you do not pay attention to, you may not be aware of such changes on your invoice. By implementing any one of these tips listed above, it could save you hundreds of dollars. Now go out there and log into your account(s) and see where you could be losing money.

In today’s housing market, there are far more buyers looking for homes than sellers listing their houses. Based on the concept of supply and demand, this means home prices will naturally rise. Why is that?
Many homeowners who plan to sell in 2022 may think the wise thing to do is to wait for the spring buying market since historically about 40 percent of home sales occur between April and July. However, this year’s expected to be much different than the norm.
