Who Paid You For/In April. Here is My List. And some thoughts about that oft mentioned website im attempting.
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.
As you can see April crashed back down to reality in terms of earnings. Kinda what I expected. After a huge month things normally teeter the other way and a little bit of burnout sets it. I lost focus during April plus I have several other things on my plate that im working hard to try to figure out. April should have still been a $2k month, but my personal failings dragged it down.
So lets get to real talk about the lack of a website Ive been talking about now for about a year. Due to various issues, things havent worked out with the 2 designers we have worked with. 1 Disappeared without a trace. The other one just didnt work out. Not really anyones fault. Its just whatever. We may have found a designer on discord and will be working with him this week but I want to keep my options open for now just in case. So if anyone else that has serious wordpress skills would like to help out on this, contact me. We do have a budget for this now. After originally trying to stay out of debt I realize that if I believe in this project I need to stand behind it, even if it means taking on some debt.
Meanwhile Im going to shave and get a hair cut and try to get my ugly mug starting to do videos and a podcast and all that. And then there is still that damn Mturk 101 I need to refresh. Will try to finally bang that out this weekend :)
One More thing. Its been mentioned to me that some might find a mid month quick list of whats working well for the month. Is this something anyone would be interested in? I hadnt considered it until someone suggested it. Give me your thoughts. Dont want to dilute by over posting and get ya'll sick of me, but if its something you would find valuable I can scratch together the time for it.
Anyway thats it for now. Lets Kill it in May!

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
