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.
February saw a nice uptick especially to Mturk. Ive felt re-energized and my new computer is humming along nicely. SO lets talk about the announcements. Plan on getting a bunch more things up and running this month and see how things go
First.. Starting with the March earnings report in April, I will be doing a monthly Live Q&A. Most likely this will be live on twitch and then posted on youtube. But my techguy says its possible to go live on both at the same time. So we will see. I was shooting for this month but all my equipment isnt set up yet, plus my tech guy went and got himself a job which means hes not at my beck and call all the time any more... damn him.
2nd announcement. You know that website I have been talking about. Well we are finally putting a date for launch on it. May 7th, 2019 will see the launch of the website. Im not going into a lot of details right now but as long as everything is looking good next month, Ill announce the name of it and some of what we are looking to do for the benefit of the entire beermoney community. So tune in to next month's earnings report for breaking news! lol
3rd announcement: I also talked last month about bringing back a podcast like show. This is also in the works and should start this month or early next month. But I may now need a video editor thats willing to work cheap or free since my techguy seems to think earning an income is more important than doing all my bidding :) I already have a couple people who have approached me about being a guest on a podcast.. so Im thinking we can make this pretty good.
4th Announcement: Every month I get dozens of PMs asking for the Mturk 101 I mention in the FAQ. Well to be honest a lot of that document is now out of date. So in my free time I plan on updating that this month. New tools and new strategies have come out that should be mentioned along with new resources available. Im hoping to collarborate with someone that is better and much more efficient at turking than I am, a guy who is a tremendous resource of info in the beermoney discord. Hopefulle we can find time to work together to make a document that can really become a gold standard. Im also hoping to do some tutorial videos on some of the scripts once I have all of that up and running
Anyway thats it for now. Lots going on that im excited about. I hope everyone has a great March!

FAQ
I'm in need of extra money. Should I persue doing some of this?
Yes and no. There is obviously money to be made. But there are drawbacks. Mturk (there are alternatives but not usually as lucrative) may not accept you (wont accept if outside US), Earnings may be low on programs like EH and other stuff can be a grind. Mobile based earnings means needing devices and takes money and time. Passive earning is starting to show huge signs of decline. I dont want anyone to believe they can sit down tomorrow and be making $1000 next month.
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.
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 inefficient.
Will you give me advice or help me get started?
Yes but only if you approach it with the mindset that its slow and a grind at times and not get rich quick or at all.
How do you make so much on Mturk. Can you give me any hints?
I have a Mturk 101 typed up I can send with some tips and tricks.
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....)
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
All the totals above represent only personal earnings. I seperate out ref earnings.
OMG! You must cheat somehow to make so much!
I do nothing outside the TOS of any of the programs. I consider this income to be a blessing and wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that. Plus cheating just kills programs and defrauds the companies that are allowing me to make this income.
Do you have to pay taxes on all of this
Yes on most of it. There are some exceptions but the majority of this income is taxable. Most of these companies dont issue 1099s but that doesnt mean you dont have to pay taxes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions on how to handle taxes on "beermoney" income
