I want to start this month's post out with a few thoughts. As you can see Ive posted this a little late this month. I had considered not posting at all. This monthly post has made me a target to some. Ive been accused of being a program killer. Ive been accused of giving people false hope. Ive been accused of being a cheater. Ive been called a bottom feeder and such. Ive get told my hourly rate (even though no one knows how much or little I work) is pathetic.
Now I know this is the internet. And I have thick skin. But Its gets a bit tiresome. When I started this monthly post is was to let others know what programs were paying and hoped others would reply in kind. Its morphed into being able to help others which I have enjoyed doing. And Ive become the target of the negative people. So let me say this
Yes I do this full time. That is my choice based on my current health and skills and abilities. I dont care if you believe my hourly rate is good bad or indifferent. If you want to accuse me of cheating.. feel free to slander me (or is that libel... I always mix em up.). If you feel my monthly post somehow affects yoru earnings because "Its too popular" I would like to point you to the Techslugs, who has a 10000 member FB group, a Youtube page with over 20K subscribers etc. But either way. The fact that in the almost year Ive been posting, Ive gotten 8 active EH referrals and 2 instaGC refs.. (I dont do it for the refs) I dont think people are beating down the doors of programs because of me. Hell I havent posted in 6 weeks and sommeone got like 300 referals to instaGC on the ref contest.
So to my haters. Feel free to hate, downvote, insult or whatever. Haters gonna hate. For now Im going to keep posting. Not to brag, Not to inspire, Not to be some sort of weird role model, not to try to convince others that this is a good way to live life. Im going to continue to post because this sub shouldnt always be complaints and negativety. And if my posts can help others who might be struggling because of one of many reasons.. then its worth dealing with the haters.
Now about January. It was rough. But thats always to be expected. Everything was down except CHeckpoints. But some small stuff like ADME and such helped out. Good news is that almost everything this month is on pace to beat Jan. Not sure Ill be back up to 2K for Feb (only having 28 days doesnt help) but its heading upwards. :)

This month im working on the website still. And trying to find time to add in some of the smaller apps like apperwall, Uento etc
I get a lot of questions each month after posting and I dont mind answering but I now include an (expanded this month) FAQ so some of the more common questions are answered right away.
So thats my list this month. Who paid you in Jan?
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. I have been getting behind on messages so it might be a few days depening 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?
Ill be happy to help. First you should check out the newbie posts and the daily work thread 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?
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 5.2 TERRAbytes in January
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
My total includes about $15 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.
