My Income and Sources for April 2013

Total income for April 2013 = $438.69 (spoiler alert: May is over $1,000; post is coming soon!)

For the record, I have no reason to lie to you about any of the income I’m reporting, and the most underhanded, nasty, smarmy thing I’m going to do is give you my referral links so I can make a whopping dime or so off of each person who signs up to do what I’m doing!

The dollar amounts I show are what I actually RECEIVED in my hot little hand or PayPal account, not what I EARNED because things show up at different times and take different amounts of time to come around.

I do not count my eggs before they are in my PayPal account.

Fiverr. I made $0 here in April, only because I didn’t sign up until April 16^th. You’ll freak out when you see May’s numbers. The majority of my income is from proofreading in the wee hours of the morning when my kids sleep but I also have gigs for selling my ebooks cheap, writing blog posts, selling reprint articles and promoting things via my social media outlets. 

Bubblews. Signed up here on April 26 and received $0 by the end of April. May is looking hella good, though. 

Regional Parenting Magazine print and online articles and reprints: $340. Yeah, still working on the 5th edition of the ebook (see right sidebar for 4th edition) and someday plan to query the nationals but am too busy on Fiverr!

BlogHer. Just one sidebar ad here made me $3.30 in January, $5.49 in February plus I got paid for a tweeting program for $50. They have lots of rules to follow, like you can’t have ads from anyone else on your site and can’t even post blogger giveaway opps. I only stay with my abusive boyfriend BlogHer because sometimes he offers me chances to review cool things for $50 or to Tweet a few times about a product for $50 and then he sucks me right back in. I’m pretty sure he’s jealous of Bubblews, though. 

AdSense??? I put questions marks because what I earn is all theoretical here. It shows that I earn an amount but will I ever see it? So it looks like I earned $19.22 in April from several blogs combined, but … 

Tomoson.com. I don’t make any money here, but it’s fun to receive free stuff in the mail and just do a quick review. Then you can either keep, regift or sell what you got! 

Ebook sales from Payloadz.com were $39.90. I also sell the ebooks through Fiverr but count those in Fiverr income. 

Here are some I’m trying out:

PostLoop. Signing up and getting started is a PITA, but I hope to be able to report back some decent income from commenting in Forums. 

LikeNation. You know how you enter giveways and have to like and follow countless people? Well, if you have your own sites that need a’followin’, check this out. You like and follow and get “points” to do it. Then you can post what you want liked or followed and can use those points you earned. So you’re trading favors. 

Come back to see May’s numbers because you will flip your lid! (Hint, as of May 19 I’m already at $605). Great, now all my friends will be hitting me up for a loan. Haha!

My Rockin Income and Sources for May 2013

Total income for May 2013 = $1,313.94

Here were Aprils numbers. Quite a change, and all while I homeschool 5 kids and take on June Cleaverdom!

Disclaimers: For the record, I have no reason to lie to you about any of the income I’m reporting, and the most underhanded, nasty, smarmy thing I’m going to do is give you my referral links so I can make a whopping dime or so off of each person who signs up to do what I’m doing! The dollar amounts I show are what I actually RECEIVED in my hot little hand or PayPal account, not what I EARNED because things show up at different times and take different amounts of time to come around.

This all means: I do not count my eggs before they are in my PayPal account. Now, lets get started:

1. Fiverr. I received $763 here in May, only because I didn’t sign up until April 16^th. The majority of my income is from proofreading in the wee hours of the morning when my kids sleep, but I also have gigs for selling my ebooks cheap, writing blog posts, selling reprint articles and promoting things via my social media outlets. Ive disable the writing gigs and now focus on proofreading and am growing my Error Police Force so we can take on more word crimes as a unit. I received $120 on private proofreading projects.

2. Bubblews. Signed up here on April 26 and received $150.51 by the end of May.  

3. Regional Parenting Magazine print and online articles and reprints: $120. Yeah, still working on the 5th edition of the ebook (see right sidebar for 4th edition) and someday plan to query the nationals but am too busy on Fiverr!

4. BlogHer. Made about 5 more bucks for May, but have not received payouts yet. Added one ad and a TV dealy jobber to my main blog, plus they have me in another $50 tweeting program.

5. AdSense. HOLY FLIPPING CRAP, I got a check from them for $110.40 on May 28. Keep in mind thats for about 2 years of blogging! Still, I will take it and not complain!

6. Tomoson.com. I don’t make any money here, but it’s fun to receive free stuff in the mail and just do a quick review. Then you can either keep, regift or sell what you got!

7. PostLoop. Im going to send you here because I have a lot of information on this and it needed its own post. Bottom line: probably worth it and potentially $10/hour while you watch TV. I ended up receiving $5.08 from them very quickly after cashing out, as in the same day.

8. LikeNation. I have to push them again this month because Ive seen my followers increase, which is good for a lot of reasons; namely, the bigger my fan base, the more I can charge for social media stuff like on Fiverr and Sponsored Tweets (AND I look better to get stuff on Tomoson to review). You know how you enter giveways and have to like and follow countless people? Well, if you have your own sites that need a’followin’,check this out. You like and follow and get “points” to do it. Then you can post what you want liked or followed and can use those points you earned. So you’re trading favors.

9. SponsoredTweets. Ive been with them for probably 2 years and rarely get jobs. Earlier this year I got a bunch of tweeting jobs, then they dried up. I played with lowering and increasing my per-tweet rate, but I didnt get any more business. Im was sitting at $21.92 and there is a $2 fee for cashing out under $50, so I just went ahead and did it on May 28 to see how long it would take to receive it. Well, forget that ... I kept getting error messages. Ill try again.

10. I forgot to mention that I also do MyPoints and have for years. If you want to sign up under me you have to send me your email address ... they are dumb to not have a referral LINK! Anyway, Ive earned about 31,000 points there and 2,000 points is about a $10 gift card to all sorts of places (your choice). So Ive gotten a lot gift cards. You get points by clicking through on email, doing surveys, surfing the web and BUYING STUFF with COUPONS!
11. I briefly tried writing for a penny a word and did not love it, but I did get paid $30 for doing it.

12. Ebook sales from Payloadz.com were only $14.95 because I am too busy with other stuff to work on the ebook UPDATE. I also sell the ebooks through Fiverr but count those in Fiverr income. This post is holding me accountable to get the flippin ebook update done!

Septembers Scintillating Income and Sources 2013

UPDATE: Head here, to March 2014s numbers to see how Ive been doing lately!

Ah, September. Remember I told you my income would likely be down in September due to homeschooling starting up? Well, that was true. I can barely fit in 20 hours a week working in the mornings and whenever I can sneak in 15 extra minutes, so keeping in mind that I only work part-time from home while also frolicking with my kids every day most of the day and keep an immaculate house (hahaha!), September weighed in at a whopping $1,651.26 (if I could do that every month, that translates into about $20,000 per year working part-time from home ... not bad for a girl who didnt even go to college!).


Here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Then here are Junes numbers, and you can see Im increasing my income every month. July was amazing but not as good as August!

It is once again awesome to be able to make this much money from home while also being able to swim with the kids, take them to parks and other cool places! Im able to pay for gymnastics every month and our big-ticket purchase for the month for the house is not coming to mind, but I know there was one. Also, Im able to start saving for Christmas, which I never could do before (credit cards, anyone?!), as well as save for that little vacation I keep talking about taking with the family.

The dollar amounts I show are what I actually RECEIVED in my hot little hand or PayPal account, not what I EARNED because things show up at different times and take different amounts of time to come around.

Just like always: I STILL do not count my eggs before they are in my PayPal account. Now, lets get started:

1. Fiverr. $577. The majority of my income is from proofreading when my kids sleep, but I also have gigs for promoting things via my social media outlets. Things kinda tanked here in September.

2. Bubblews. $433.52. Just click on the word Bubblews and you can sign up using my referral link. This is basically a blogging site that you can read more about here. Anyone can join.

3. Regional Parenting Magazine articles, new and reprint: $70. That would be thanks to this little gem, and Im not even really trying.

4. PostLoop. $9.50. Im going to send you here because I have a lot of information on this and it needed its own post. Bottom line: probably worth it and potentially $10/hour while you watch TV. *IF YOU SIGN UP UNDER ME USING MY REFERRAL LINK, THANK YOU!

My Income and Sources for June 2013 Stop Whining Make Money!

Total income for June 2013 = $1,559.65

UPDATE: Here is March 2014s kick-ass income ... still going strong here! That post leads to all the other months! Keep at it!

Here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Im really excited to be able to make this much from home while also homeschooling my kids. The money helps out so much with unexpected household expenses (root canals, leaky roofs, new brakes, broken car radiator, etc. that most people would have to put on a credit card or that would put them into bankruptcy eventually).

1. Fiverr. I received $599 here in June. The majority of my income is from proofreading in the wee hours of the morning when my kids sleep, but I also have gigs for selling my ebooks cheap, writing blog posts, selling reprint articles and promoting things via my social media outlets. I outsourced some jobs this month, and the amount takes that into account.

2. Tenrr. $45.00. Tenrr rocks because you keep 100% of your earnings UP FRONT. However, its hard to get clients on this site.

3. Private proofing job. $20.00.

4. Bubblews. $257.64. Just click on the word Bubblews and you can sign up using my referral link. I think I get two shiny dimes to rub together if you do that, but it will change YOUR life!

5. Regional Parenting Magazine articles, new and reprint: $226

6. General blogging for North Texas Kids and other sites. $147

7. PostLoop. $5.09. Im going to send you here because I have a lot of information on this and it needed its own post. Bottom line: probably worth it and potentially $10/hour while you watch TV. I ended up receiving $5.09 from them very quickly again this month after cashing out, as in the same day, this month, and the amount was only this low because I was too busy working on other things. *IF YOU SIGNED UP UNDER ME USING MY REFERRAL LINK, THANK YOU! PLEASE DO THE 10 POSTS TO GET STARTED; YOU WILL GET POINTS FOR THOSE AND THEN A RATING, THEN YOU CAN CONTINUE ON. You must have excellent grammar and good conversational skills on this site!

8. LikeNation. THIS IS FREE!

Then you can post what you want liked or followed and can use those points you earned. So you’re trading favors. Turns out you can make one shiny dollar for every 8,000 points you get. DO NOT DO THIS! If you like/follow/subscribe to just 30 people per day you get an 80-point daily bonus, which you turn into social media followers. If you sign up using my referral link, make sure you trade at least 70 favors ... I get 15 cents AND you get to see some of the benefit of the site.

9. SponsoredTweets. $19.92.

10. Babysitting. Yep, I earn money to babysit while I am also working (I work while all the kids sleep most of the time!). $240

AMAZING August 2013 Income and Sources

August was not too shabby, weighing in at a whopping $2,081.44 (if I could do that every month, that translates into about $25,000 per year working part-time from home).


Here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Then here are Junes numbers, and you can see Im increasing my income every month. July was amazing but not as good as August!

It is once again awesome to be able to make this much money from home while also being able to go to the pool with the kids every day! This month we were able to get a lawnmower when ours broke down and are spending quite a bit of money on remodeling our living/dining rooms with hardwood floors and paint so we can maybe move to the country sometime!

1. Fiverr. I received $1,224 here in August. The majority of my income is from proofreading when my kids sleep, but I also have gigs for promoting things via my social media outlets. I outsourced some jobs this month, and the amount takes that into account  and does not count it as income for me (about $187 outsourced).

6. LikeNation. No income involved but great for boosting your social media. I finally sucked it up and just wrote a post about how this works!

7. Private proofing jobs: $105

8. BlogHer ads income from 3 tweeting campaigns plus one month of ads on my main blog: $159.02

9. Ebooks! $12.20. Im only on Amazon now with Make Money to Write About Your Kids and The Tater Tot Casserole Cookbook. You do not need a Kindle to buy these! You can also load them onto your smartphone using their new Kindle app!

10. MyLikes.com $3.26. This is a site where you find something you think your social media peeps or Facebook friends might like and then post it. Depending on who clicks, you get a few cents. They pay out weekly. I tried it just for fun and head back there every now and then.

Come back to see Septembers numbers, which will likely be lower since homeschooling just started yesterday and my time will be limited!
