Website Review Cameron Snyder

MMM offers great advice to help you save money and achieve your life goals with ease

Mr. Money Mustache is a blog about various topics, mostly pertaining to money and wealth. The purpose of the website is to give people valuable information that is very useful in the real world, especially when it comes to money. The author himself was able to achieve financial independence and retire at a very young age, and wants to share his information and story with others to help them do the same. The website is full of various blogs that have information on financial freedom, and many ways to achieve it. The possible audience is really anyone, who is willing to take in advice to possibly be able to save a lot more money and even retire early.

In the few articles I read, I noticed he used a decent amount of pictures in some of them. The pictures are there to help elaborate his points, and add a bit more detail to what he is talking about. Images also stand out to the readers. Typically pictures are the first thing we see, rather than words. So the addition of pictures may bring emphasis to a certain topic, or allow us to see something more important first. Just plain text can look unappealing to the reader, but adding a picture can make it seem more appealing. It is said a picture is worth a thousand words.

The content of the blog posts are also very practical and relatable. He uses his own past experiences to add possible connection to the reader. His own past experiences relate to the topics, and can also add a sort of entertainment value. He uses practical knowledge as well, to make the information he’s talking about reasonable. He is able to use his own life as background for the topics he writes about, which makes his arguments relatable. He uses ethos and pathos by relating his topics back to own life. He is also able to establish credibility by using his past, as well as emotionally connect to the readers this way as well.
