RaagVamdatt.com completes three years of its existence today.
Hello,
With your tremendous support and encouragement, www.RaagVamdatt.com is celebrating its third birthday today.
The very first article on this website – Goal Based Investing – was written exactly 3 years ago on 25th of November 2007.
Here is a wrap up of what happend at www.RaagVamdatt.com in the last 1 year:
The number of registered users crosses 12,500
www.RaagVamdatt.com has more than 12,500 registered users today. This number stood at around 8,000 one year back – this means over 4,500 users have registered themselves in this past year alone!
Re-starting the free email newsletter
Long time readers of RaagVamdatt.com would know that we used to have a weekly newsletter that briefed you about the latest happenings in the world of personal finance.
Since the number of members has grown tremendously, I was facing some technical difficulties, and this newsletter had to be stopped about a year ago.
I am very glad to let you know that the newsletter is back! Now, you can keep in touch with the latest happenings in the personal finance space – absolutely free! All the latest updates would be delivered right in your email inbox!
And all the newsletter subscribers automatically get 2 free gifts:
- A comprehensive “Basics of Personal Finance” email course
- An e-book “Investing in Gold – Everything You Should Know”
If you are not already subscribed to the newsletter, you can subscribe for free here.
Becoming an Entrepreneur
Well, this was the biggest step of my life so far! I left a comfortable, very well paying job and became an entrepreneur so that I could focus on my websites.
With the tremendous growth of my websites, I was starting to get torn between my job and the websites. Not wanting to do injustice to either, I decided it was time to work full time on the websites!
You can get all the details about this and a small video at “Becoming an entrepreneur – Leaving my job, working full time on my websites“.
Getting a mention in Business Today
My views were quoted in an article in Business Today, a very reputed business magazine.
The article dealt with ULIPs and the changes being brought about in them by IRDA.
Launch of www.PaisaPlanner.com
Last year also saw the launch of www.PaisaPlanner.com – the Hindi website on personal finance and financial planning.
The Hindi version of RaagVamdatt.com sometime back, but it did not have its own identity. Now, it has its own, easy-to-remember domain name!
Note: I have not been able to publish very regularly on www.PaisaPlanner.com in the past year. Going forward, I am going to be much more regular there!
Price increase of “My Financial Plan” service
“My Financial Plan” is a personalized and customized financial planning service offered by me.
The price of this service was increased to Rs. 4,999 during the last year. But even at this new price, the service is better priced than most of the competitors. It remains an excellent value-for-money service even today.
If you don’t have a financial plan yet, please consider enrolling for the “My Financial Plan” financial planning service. For more details, please check out “My Financial Plan“.
Moving back to India
Again, long time readers of www.RaagVamdatt.com would know that I started this website while I was working in USA (Manhattan, New York City).
I worked there for 3 years, and returned to India last year after the birth of my son, Rishi.
