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.

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.

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. Heres November. Here was December 2013. And here was January. February is here.

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!

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!

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

My December 2013 and Year End Work From Home Income Report Stop Whining Make Money

Whew, December came back like a champ! It punched out Novembers scrawny income and came in at a lovely $1,484.69.  Christmas was a lot easier to afford this year, thats for sure!

As for 2013 as a whole, Ill cut to the chase and reveal that my income was close to $15,000, about 107% more than I made last year. I dont post this because Im bragging or think Im hot stuff. 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. The income potential for you is there, and I just want to share sources and helps with you. I also post to challenge myself for future months and years.

I had a rich and full life this year. Im only working a few hours a day and if I could work full-time I could easily be pulling down close to $50,000, which I dont think is too shabby. The kids are still in gymnastics at about $200 per month, and Christmas was a breeze this year for my family of 7 plus friends and extended family. I love giving. I dont spend a lot of money on myself and love having extra money to be able to buy presents for friends or give to charity.
