Cash is Good!

I have taken a part-time job, and it's definitely affecting my blogging time. I'll continue to post here as I am able.

Progress Evaluation

October was the eighth month that I have been trying to track my online earnings. During that time I've been reporting daily earnings, but I have to honestly say that I haven't always been consistent with that. It's hard to decide what to include and what not to include. Plus I haven't been tracking Swagbucks by the day and that's usually at least $.02, so it probably should be in this report (but it's not). I write at Shared Reviews, and reviewers are paid based on how well their reviews perform every month and also on how successfully they vote for top reviews. So that is online income, but doesn't seem the same as showing ads or clicking links. I write articles at Associated Content, but only post them for pay per view, not upfront payments. I also write articles at Textbroker, and for another source which I can't reveal. That income is really in a totally different category.

So, for this report, I choose to not count Shared Reviews, Textbroker, or the unnamed writing source. How have I done? Have I managed to increase my income since March? And income here is defined as money showing in my account at these places, not necessarily money paid to me. I'll try to clarify it in in a table.

The width of the column prevented me from putting the daily averages in the same table, but here they are:

Well, the total income is so small that it's difficult to say anything definitive. September looks really good, but it's totally because of a couple of high-paying surveys. May was bad because I was gone hiking most of it and couldn't do much clicking on Adgitize. Any way you cut it, it's not very much income for a whole lot of work.
