DISCLAIMER
Some people have objected to this monthly post for various reasons. So Im starting with this disclaimer. I do this full time. Its technically not beermoney for me. So this is NOT typical of most people. But it does show each month what programs are paying and whats working. And it also shows that those that are unemployed, disabled or have other special circumstances, who may come across this subreddit, that extra money can be made with some time and effort and a little investment.
April saw a decline from March by close to $400. Most of that was Mturk. There was a multitude of reasons for this. #1. April had 10 days that were weekends and only 20 weekdays. I dont put much effort in on weekends. I sleep in til noon and am kinda lazy. So when there are 5 weekends I see less money. Another reason was the Easter holiday which slowed things down. And there was a bit of the month that I was suffering a bit of burnout. Which is a serious issue when you do this stuff. Working like this you have to self motivate. There is no fear of being fired if you call off or are not working your hardest. Its just a decrease in income. Another issue was Swagbucks and Mypoints making it harder to earn.

I get a lot of questions each month after posting and I dont mind answering but I now include an FAQ so some of the more common questions are answered right away.
So thats my list this month. Who paid you in March?
FAQ:
How Much Time do you spend with this?
Its Hard to quantify. I am in front of a computer ALOT but its not always focused on making money. I have games I play and have scripts that watch for HITs ON Mturk so if something pops thats good I switch over. Plus Im often doing multiple things at once. That said.. there are people who make more then me with less time. Im actually very ineffient.
Will you give me advice or help me get started?
Send me a PM and let me know what you are wanting to do or want help with and Ill see what I can do. Just give me some time to respond. With as busy as Ive been on Mturk and such lately, it may be the weekend before I respond. I have been getting behind on messages so it might be a few days depending on how busy I am. Please feel free to send me a reminder if I havent responded. I wont get upset. Last month I got way more PMs then I expected. So please understand I may not get back to you right away. It may not be until later in the week or the weekend. Also if you are available to chat via instant messenger on skype or facebook, include that in your PM. Talking there is much easier then trying to follow reddit formatting.
How do you make so much on Mturk. Can you give me any hints?
FIRST THING!!!!!!!! Mturk is no longer automatically accepting people. Some people get accepted right away but most people wait weeks or months before ever hearing anything. BEFORE asking for help, please apply at mturk.com. Ill be happy to help if you have an Mturk account or are newly approved for one. First you should check out the newbie posts at http://ift.tt/29fgj5e And give me a PM and Ill try to help with any questions you have. It may take me a bit to get back to you. Please see the bolded note in the answer above this one.
Why dont you get a real job?
Health issues.. and I can nap at 1PM.. and I dont have a boss looking over my shoulder... and I can work naked (I dont.. or do I....)
Whats your Device setup?
I know longer feel making my setup public is a good idea. PMs are ok. My setup is in a bit of a state of flux at the moment while I adjust for Perks stupidity
OMG! Your electric bill must be a bajillion dollars. Is it even worth it?
My entire power bill was just a bit more then what I earned from Earnhoney this month. And that was with a central AC running almost 24-7. People way overestimate the power this stuff takes. A typical cell phone costs a couple dollars a YEAR to charge. My main laptop uses about 21 kWh a month being on 24-7. That costs me less then $2 in a month.
How much data/bandwidth do you use?
About 4.7 TERRAbytes in April.
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
My total includes about $20 from referral earnings.
I live outside the USA. How can I earn?
Unfortunately most of the stuff I do is either USA only or US/UK/CA/AU. So its hard for me to advise whats available to people outside of those areas. If you live outside those 4 countries I really dont have advice for you. And I dont have much advice for even outside the USA.
