Well another month has passed and that means we are already in september. Time to look back at August to see how earnings were
First things first. Many people ask every month how I make what I make on Swagbucks. This month I kept a daily diary of everything I earned from. I still need to finalize it and get it coded for reddit, but on Monday I will be posting what I do on Swagbucks to earn what I do. Watch for it.
Mturk was insanely good this month.. Started off incredibly well and slowed toward the end. Same with Prolific. Some of that may have just been me slowing down. Especially because Ebay started taking more time. My ebay sales have increased a bunch and that takes more time then one realizes. Its been very hard to balance. And I started trying to figure out how to balance everything. And in ways I failed as certain things that took a back seat shouldnt have. Ill be working to correct that this month. Have "hired" (and by hired I mean they owe me money and want to work it off) someone to handle my ebay listings and such so that will free up time
I did a bit more re-arranging on the tables below. I seperated out the beermoney stuff from the ebay stuff. Im not sure they totally belong together, so now everyone can see the totals seperate of each other.
Totals for this month are really good.. but were propped up by a couple one time things. Ellevest was a one time thing. And Honeygain took 3 months to reach cashout #1 and then I reached it again in like 20 days. Ref earnings were up too also thanks to Ellevest, which was also pretty much a one time thing
SO thats my thoughts on August. Lets make September great

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 . Go to this url: http://146.66.103.39/~expandy5/mturk101.html
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
