How Online Video Can Save You Over $1000 a Year
November 21, 2008 by marie
Here’s an actual copy of my November 2008 Comcast Bill.
Yikes! I watch TV online but also have roommates and so unfortunately can’t make the executive decision to cancel our cable television package. But one day, when I have my own place, I definitely won’t be paying Comcast $100/month. Internet is a necessity, cable television is not. These are tough times and watching TV online is a fantastic alternative. This is a relatively easy way to save yourself some money!
Here are 5 tips to enjoying TV online if you’re considering ditching cable altogether.
1. TV Shows - All the major networks (CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, CW) have free full episodes of their shows online. Check out our show pages and catch up on Family Guy, CSI, Gossip Girl and more!
2. More TV Shows - In addition to the big guys, cable channels like MTV and FX have put their shows online. Watch The Hills and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Not sure if your favorite show is online? Check our Online TV Guide.
3. NFL - Monday Night Football more your thing? Search for a favorite team like the Dallas Cowboys to find all the latest news, highlights and analysis.
4. Music Videos - Rihanna fan? Who isn’t! All the best music videos debut online faster than they premiere on MTV or VH1. Get the latest news, music videos and interviews from superstars like Rihanna, Britney and Lil Wayne.
5. Free Movies - You can even find free, full-length movies online these days, from blockbusters like Master and Commander to indie darlings like Sideways.

Hi Marie,
I’m working with Ramit Sethi of iwillteachyoutoberich.com and he pointed me to this post.
Couple of things I wanted to ask you:
1. Ramit just put out a private video on automating your finances and we wanted to send it to you as a thank-you.
2. His new book is coming out, and we are inviting folks to pre-order the book (it’s about $10) in the next few days. They will get 6 chapters by PDF before anyone else, plus entry into a private community with premium content. Can I send you some more info and the link to the video? If yes, please drop me a line as soon as possible — jms (at) jannamarlies (dot) com. Thanks!…jms
