January Jammin 2014 Work from Home Income Stop Whining Make Money

January is definitely setting the tone for the year at $1,611.52. If I could keep that up all  year, Id be on track to bring down about $20,000 this year, which would help with so many things (kitchen remodel, paying off my husbands truck, a new PC, new tires for the previously mentioned truck and more!).

As always, I dont post this because Im bragging; I post it as a challenge to you if you want to do what I do. Of course there are those who make much more than I do, but I choose to do what I do with kids underfoot and I can only put in a handful of hours per week. The income potential for you is there, and I just want to share sources and helps with you.

In case you wanted to know, here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Then here are Junes numbers, and you can see Im increasing my income every month. July was amazing but not as good as August! September was $1,651.26. October was a little better than that. Heres November. Here was December 2013.

It works!

4. PostLoop. $5.91 doing not much at all. Im going to send you here because I have a lot of information on this and it needed its own post.

Marchs Kick Ass Work From Home Income Stop Whining Make Money!

As always, I dont post this because Im bragging; I post it as a challenge to you if you want to do what I do. Of course there are those who make much more than I do, but I choose to do what I do with kids underfoot and I can only put in a handful of hours per week. The income potential for you is there, and I just want to share sources and helps with you.

March came in at  $1,766.76.  Ive been able to take my kids on some fancy dates lately with more planned and we are able to save up for a week-long trip to Branson (okay, two nights are free for being a blogger but still!) and are saving up for another week-long trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas in the fall. Sure couldnt do that last year! And can you imagine what groceries cost each month for a family of SEVEN?

Sure, Mr. Kerrie brings down a nice wage, but these days prices are going crazy ... some people NEED this "extra" money to pay basic bills because of a layoff has happened or some other bad situation is going on. Some people like being able to make extra money for "wants" ... and why not when it is so easy to do from home when the kids are at school or when they are asleep or watching a movie?

In case you wanted to know, here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Then here are Junes numbers, and you can see Im increasing my income every month. July was amazing but not as good as August! September was $1,651.26. October was a little better than that.

Anyone can join. I made less here than other months because of the way the payments worked out. Ive started to cash out only on Sundays at around $80 each time so it takes about a week for the payment to clear. Last month I wasnt able to do as much because I was proofreading, but I was still cashing out around $50 per week.

3. Regional Parenting Magazine articles, new and reprint: $120. That would be thanks to this little gem, and Im not even really trying or writing anything new. I got busy with proofing and slacked hard on this area, but plan to make a comeback in 2014!

Weekly Writer Challenge 5 Stop Making Excuses!

We are now far enough into this challenge thing (see other challenges check down the right-hand side of the blog under Categories called Weekly Challenges) that I can tell you to step up production, people! Picture me with a whip, whipping you into writer shape. I dont want to hear your excuses!

Here are some of my excuses for only sending about 4 queries to national magazines in the last 4 years:

1. Im pregnant
2. Im nursing
3. Im parenting two, three, four, now five kids
4. Im homeschooling
5. My husband is too cheap to let us have Internet at home
6. Im tired
7. My laptop died
8. Im not organized enough
9. I dont have a 4-year college degree
10. My husband travels so its too hard to get any work done when I cant hold a damn thought in my head

Share your own excuses in the Comments section and know that I wont make fun of you at all! This is a venting place!

Just because I wont make fun of you doesnt mean I wont ride your sorry butt. Im giving you everything you need to succeed ... why arent you doing it? Why arent you pursuing your dream? I know I am scared of success; scared of TOO much attention; scared of making enough money to be comfortable and am afraid I will turn into a jerky princess and lose all my friends.

When I first started I was MAILING out my ONE little reprint to the few magazines I could get ahold of that I found on the Internet. I never heard back from any of them.

So think of Challenge #5 as a teensy little break. Get your files together, get your ideas together, clean up your computer and your paper system. Keep working on your queries. Knock out other jobs you have going on. Clean out your closet, go through old clothing and donate it. Whatever it takes to get your mind on the prize, do it! For me, I dont want to query until Im done with the ebook update!

Heres what I was working on the other day: getting old papers and files together in my basement ... filing by year currently. I have one helluva memoir project in store for me someday!

Spoiler alert #6: You should soon be ready to submit your first query.
Spoiler alert #7: Get a good system in place for keeping track!

5 Ways to Stop Wasting Money

Just about everyone loves spending money. That’s the whole point of moving up in the world. Covering just your necessities doesn’t necessarily take a lot of money, but getting all the extras and the “nicer” things does. The more money you have, the more you have to spend. So, the better your job pays, the freer you are to make these purchases.

Unfortunately, it is all too easy to fall into the habit of spending outside your means, and getting yourself into financial dire straits. You can avoid the fear of getting bills you can’t pay by following a few simple steps.

Examine your credit situation. Credit is not a bad thing, and for some things it is essential. There are very few people who are able to go out and buy a car or house without credit. And to attain the type of credit you need to make those purchases, you have to establish a credit record through routine purchases.   However, having a vast amount of potential capital in your hands can be a dangerous thing. If you are having problems making your credit payments each month, you need to take a closer look at your spending habits. There’s no need to have multiple credit cards with a carryover balance on them. The same goes for store credit. Interest payments will drain your savings and income faster than anything. If you use credit, use it wisely. If you can’t, stop using credit now.  Don’t be tricked by credit companies’ sweet promotional offers. You may be able to use them to your advantage, but if you’re not careful, you’ll have a huge pile of debt at an outrageous interest rate that you’ll struggle forever to pay.

Don’t let emotions drive your shopping. Some people will shop not because they need something, but for the rush they get from the purchase. If you find yourself in this situation, you should fix the habit. It is not healthy for your psyche or wallet to shop to make yourself feel good. If you’re buying on credit, if you are not careful in how you follow through it will only make things worse later. If you like to shop as a leisure pastime, leave the credit cards at home, and only bring along money you can afford to spend. Take the time to browse without buying, or find a healthier hobby.

Shop around before you buy. Comparison shopping is one of the best ways you can save money on all of your purchase, especially the major ones. If you are a shopper by habit, instead of buying the first item you find, go to different stores to see where you can get the best deals. Better yet, use the internet to your advantage and save on gas money. There are numerous direct comparison sites available for all types of goods, and you can spend several hours browsing through many different stores from the comfort of your own home.

Again, be careful with your credit cards and accounts. The idea is to be saving money, and the best way to do that is by not spending it.

Avoid impulse buying. The tips up to this point should help curb this urge, hopefully. However, don’t forget when you are actually buying something that you are dealing with a salesperson. Just as you are trying to keep your money, they are trying to get it.

No matter how nice they may seem when they offer those special accessories you can’t live without, keep in mind that in most of these situations, this is more of a “Do you want fries with that?” proposition than anything else. Think over these little extras carefully before you add them to the list. A few “bargain” add-ons can add up quickly.

Think practically about what you’re spending. Before making any purchase, consider how long you’ll have to work to pay for that particular item or service. Then ask yourself, is it really worth that many hours of your life? The answer may surprise you: and be the first of many steps to saving money the easy way...by not spending it!

Februarys Fabulous 2014 Work From Home Income Stop Whining Make Money!

February is a month I decided to slow down. I learned how to put my Fiverr gigs on Vacation Mode and took the opportunity to chill a little bit and do some decluttering around my house.  February still came in at  $1,141.95.  Its nice to not have to freak out when we find out insurance is done paying for my sons braces; paying for gymnastics is no problem anymore; and when I got a flat tire blow-out to the tune of $150, that same day I had money to cover it in PayPal from BlogHer social media things I had done. Every little bit helps!

As always, I dont post this because Im bragging; I post it as a challenge to you if you want to do what I do. Of course there are those who make much more than I do, but I choose to do what I do with kids underfoot and I can only put in a handful of hours per week. The income potential for you is there, and I just want to share sources and helps with you.

My Income and Sources for June 2013 Stop Whining Make Money!

Total income for June 2013 = $1,559.65

UPDATE: Here is March 2014s kick-ass income ... still going strong here! That post leads to all the other months! Keep at it!

Here were Aprils numbers, and then Mays numbers. Im really excited to be able to make this much from home while also homeschooling my kids. The money helps out so much with unexpected household expenses (root canals, leaky roofs, new brakes, broken car radiator, etc. that most people would have to put on a credit card or that would put them into bankruptcy eventually).

I am in the Stop Whining About Money and Do Something About It Club!

Disclaimers: For the record, I have no reason to lie to you about any of the income I’m reporting, and the most underhanded, nasty, smarmy thing I’m going to do is give you my referral links so I can make a whopping dime or so off of each person who signs up to do what I’m doing! The dollar amounts I show are what I actually RECEIVED in my hot little hand or PayPal account, not what I EARNED because things show up at different times and take different amounts of time to come around.

This all means: I STILL do not count my eggs before they are in my PayPal account. Now, lets get started:

1. Fiverr. I received $599 here in June. The majority of my income is from proofreading in the wee hours of the morning when my kids sleep, but I also have gigs for selling my ebooks cheap, writing blog posts, selling reprint articles and promoting things via my social media outlets. I outsourced some jobs this month, and the amount takes that into account.

2. Tenrr. $45.00. Tenrr rocks because you keep 100% of your earnings UP FRONT. However, its hard to get clients on this site.

3. Private proofing job. $20.00.

4. Bubblews. $257.64. Just click on the word Bubblews and you can sign up using my referral link. I think I get two shiny dimes to rub together if you do that, but it will change YOUR life!

5. Regional Parenting Magazine articles, new and reprint: $226

6. General blogging for North Texas Kids and other sites. $147

7. PostLoop. $5.09. Im going to send you here because I have a lot of information on this and it needed its own post. Bottom line: probably worth it and potentially $10/hour while you watch TV. I ended up receiving $5.09 from them very quickly again this month after cashing out, as in the same day, this month, and the amount was only this low because I was too busy working on other things. *IF YOU SIGNED UP UNDER ME USING MY REFERRAL LINK, THANK YOU! PLEASE DO THE 10 POSTS TO GET STARTED; YOU WILL GET POINTS FOR THOSE AND THEN A RATING, THEN YOU CAN CONTINUE ON. You must have excellent grammar and good conversational skills on this site!

8. LikeNation. THIS IS FREE! I have to push them again this month because Ive seen my followers increase, which is good for a lot of reasons; namely, the bigger my fan base, the more I can charge for social media stuff like on Fiverr and Sponsored Tweets. You know how you enter giveaways and have to like and follow countless people? Well, if you have your own sites that need a followin’,check this out. You like and follow and get “points” to do it. Then you can post what you want liked or followed and can use those points you earned. So you’re trading favors. Turns out you can make one shiny dollar for every 8,000 points you get. DO NOT DO THIS! If you like/follow/subscribe to just 30 people per day you get an 80-point daily bonus, which you turn into social media followers. If you sign up using my referral link, make sure you trade at least 70 favors ... I get 15 cents AND you get to see some of the benefit of the site.

9. SponsoredTweets. $19.92.

10. Babysitting. Yep, I earn money to babysit while I am also working (I work while all the kids sleep most of the time!). $240
