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. Heres November. Here was December 2013. And here was January. February is here.
I am in the Stop Whining About Money and Do Something About It Club! Care to join me in 2014? Open enrollment is now and there are lots of new members!
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.
Just like always: I STILL do not count my eggs before they are in my PayPal account. Now, lets get started:
1. Fiverr and other private proofreading. $1,137.50.
2. Bubblews. $320.05. Just click on the word Bubblews and you can sign up using my referral link and I might make a dime. This is basically a blogging site that you can read more about here. 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!
4. Blogging income, BlogHer tweeting, etc.: $105

6. eBay: $65.74 by selling some extra stuff.
Come back to see April 2014s numbers!
*Yes, I pay taxes on every stinking cent!
