Earnings for the first 2 weeks of May

Here are my earnings for the first 2 weeks of May. I got super busy so haven't been able to keep up with this little log sadly. I have updated my income for the last month on my total earnings page but I will try to keep updating this blog when I can.

Fiverr is going super well at the moment with my backlinking and proofreading jobs, so far for the month of May I have had 25 orders which has earned me $100, not bad for a part time pit of work on the side.

Hubpages is sadly falling by the wayside at the moment as I simply don't have time to write anything of my own but in all honesty it is still a nice little side earner. I haven't written anything in around 10 weeks sadly but the money continues to tick over. For the first 2 weeks in May I earned $11, not great but I have earned over $30 for the last 3 months in a row, not bad for not having written any new work really.

Squidoo is a total bust at the moment as well. I only have 3 earning lenses at this point in time so I am earning pennies a month. But if I ever find some time to work on some more articles I am sure I can get this up to a similar standard as my Hubpages, without having to have as many articles as I have on Hubpages. I have 2 accounts FancyThatUK and FancyThatUSA one promotes UK items and the other USA items.

My Amazon.co.uk sales for this month so far only sit a £1.15, so I have £22.96 so far in the account - almost enough to actually make a payout! Yay! But no sales on my Amazon.com this month sadly, I have $25 exactly in the account so far and but need $100 before I can get a payout as I am in the UK! Hmmm so still a while off!

Adsense is a little all over the place at the moment as one minute there have been clicks and I have made money then the next day it's not there, very confusing! If it stays on track, this is set to be my best month to date with over £7 currently sitting in the account, but we shall have to wait and see what happens.

On the new site I have been looking into, Slicethepie, it actually seems like a pretty simple and legit way to make a little extra income on the side. I sat down for two 20 min stints and did a handful of quick reviews and made $2.69 - so I am not gonna get rich quick and this cant replace my day job or anything but to listen to a few bits of music and type a 250 word (ish) review it's pretty simple and I could easily do the odd few everyday and see this mounting up rather quickly. So for anyone who likes music and can string a few sentences together then Slice The Pie is a reasonable way to make an easy $10-$20 with just a little bit of work each week.

Round Up of February Earnings

Well February is over and done with, so it's time for another monthly earnings update. And I ain't done too shabby this month.

So here are the final totals for all the different income sources. 

Hubpages

I managed 4 new hubs this month all based around seasonal crafts/recipes, as they seemed to do so well over Christmas and around Valentines. Here they are for you to check out:

Great Pancake Recipes

Easter Card Making for Kids

Mothers Day Craft for Kids

Great Handmade Mothers Day Gifts

(see link for image source)

So my total for February for the ad programme and ebay clicks was $34.63

Squidoo

Didn't make the payout for anything in the tier system in February but hopefully I will be hitting it in March as a few of my lenses will finally have matured enough to qualify for a payment! It'll be a tiny payout (might not even make the $1 actually, but fingers crossed I might, but any earnings will be good really. I did make $0.31 via an Amazon.com sale though

I did make 2 new lens though

2013 Ombre Dip Dye Clothing Trend

 Great Pancake Moulds for Making Fun Pancakes

Fiverr

I made a great 35 sales this month, across all my different gigs. So I have been doing a lot of proofreading, editing and promoting. I will make around $140 once all the gigs clear.

Adsense

With earnings coming from hub pages and the blogs it is still incredibly slow still! I fear I may never make any actually money via Adsense, I need to reach £60 to make a payout and so far I only have £5! Making just £1-£2 a month it'll take me years to get there. This month was a little low at only £1.12

Affiliate Sales

My Amazon.co.uk sales have gone pretty well with a number of fancy dress items being sold through a Squidoo Lens on my personal link. I made 10 sales in total, and so far £6.55 in commission has cleared. My Amazon.com was a bit slower with just 1 low value sale, but 2 others cleared this month as well so made $2.24

Blogging

2 little side bar ad sales made me £10. Not much but every little helps. I also had 3 little videos run throughout the month, which made me £1.30 via ebuzzing.co.uk

Overall figures for February

• Hubpages $34.63
• Squidoo $0.31
• Fiverr $140
• Adsense £1.12
• Amazon.co.uk £6.55
• Amazon.com $2.24
• Blogging £11.30

Total earnings for February across all sources = $177.64 (£117.77 approx) + £18.97 = £136.74

21.02.13 - Third Weekly Round Up of February

Another week has sped by and this time I had hardly anytime for online work at all, rather disappointingly! Although I did have one large private client job instead which made up for the lack of online work I think. Although obviously it's only a one off payment rather than something that will continue to earn like a hub or lens.

But here are this weeks figures anyway

Hubpages

I managed to get up one new hub this week. Easter Card Making for Kids, which is an exclusive title so I am hoping for some decent results closer to the date. But it is currently still sitting in pending and has been for about 36 hours, which is very annoying.

My views of my valentines hubs went really well up until the day but have obviously plummeted off since, One reached 10,000 views in a month, which I am so happy about, just goes to show how good a seasonal hub can be to your views and earnings. So I am now working on similar posts for the easter season. And will make a few Mothers Day craft ones, if I have time to get them out this week.

Squidoo

I literally just finished a new lens last night so i has only just gone live really. 2013 Ombre Dip Dye CLothing Trend: Where to buy, How to DIY and outfit Inspiration. I had seen a few other posts similar to this doing well on Squidoo so I thought I would put together one myself, it's not the type of post I like to do as it is very sales heavy and mainly just full of images, but I replicated a layout of one that is doing very well, to see if it would work. Fingers crossed as only time will tell.

Fiverr

I did very well the first 2 weeks so I didn't expect the luck to continue, and it didn't, lol! I had 2 gigs this week, both for providing strong back links. The first was for a site called Bore Me which uploads daily videos on all sorts of subjects, often topical news, interesting technology and funny stuff. The Second was actually for a Wizzley Article all on learning to dance the waltz from online step by step videos and tutorials. A pretty good article actually, check it out: Learn to Dance the Waltz. 

These 2 added another $8 to my Fiverr sales for this month (see monthly total below)

Adsense

It's told me I have now reached the threshold to decide how I want to be paid, so I am currently verifying my account. I am pretty sure I can't actually get any payment until I hit £60 though, which is miles and miles away! Be lucky if I hit it by the end of the year to be honest. Got a click on one of my blogs so made a little extra but it is still far too slow really.

Affiliate Sales

I actually made a sale on Amazon.co.uk after over a year!!! Yay!!! And it wasn't just a few pennies either! It was a rather impressive £4.60 off 4 fancy dress costumes through my Where's Wally Fancy Dress Outfits Squidoo Lens. No amazon.com sales this week though sadly

Blogging

Well I'm still working on my Daily Craft Inspiration Blog, this blog and my regular Daisy Dayz blog. But my other 2 The Filmaholic Review and Less Waist More Taste have been pushed to the way side a little as I just haven't had time to write anything for them, I'm hoping to get back to regularly posting on all of them soon though

Figures for the month so far:

• Hubpages $27.30 (up to the 20th, only cents off beating January's final earnings!!)
• Squidoo $0.31
• Fiverr $116
• Adsense £1.01
• Amazon.co.uk Affiliate Sales £4.60
• Amazon.com Affiliate Sales $2.24
• Blogging £5

After the currency conversion I've made about £104. Obviously quite a lot of that is tied up in different sites for now though, but I will get it all eventually I hope.

I also just discovered Pay To Click sites, which look interesting but again a bit slow to make decent money, but I will have a go at them for a little while and get back to you on how it goes.
