Money Making Momma

Lots of little updates and some aprehension

I’ve been making lots of tiny updates on my microblog. I’ve mostly been busy with Squidoo updates…just a bunch of minute changes.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about applying for demand studios but I’m hung up on the resume requirement. I mainly want to do demand studios for transcription jobs and I have no idea what I will put on this resume. Hopefully soon I’ll find some bravery and do it. I may get rejected but I may not. Of course, I’ll be updating my blog either way.

My Squidoo Strategy

I joined Squidoo years ago, left it alone for awhile, and now I have started working on it again. My strategy for working Squidoo is to create lenses as I get ideas for them even if I can’t fully develop them right away. Then, each day I check my stats to update keywords and I try to edit at least my worse performing lens for the day. This way, I figure the quality and quantity of my lenses will grow over time.

Weekly Worker Activity Report from Amazon Mechanical Turk

Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
– Number of HITs approved: 117
– Number of HITs rejected: 4
– Bonus reward earned: $1.98
– HIT reward earned: $2.44
– Total Amount earned this week: $4.42

This is actually my second week with Amazon Mechanical Turk and I’ve reached enough earnings for a transfer to my bank account. Ten dollars isn’t much but the work is easy and I don’t mind doing it. Compared to GPT sites that have you read emails for fractions of pennies, this is much more lucrative. At least it’s Amazon and you know they can afford to pay you.

I’m making money

My personal blog was getting bogged down with money making posts so I decided to dedicate a new blog to just that. So far I’m making a little money online with a few different streams of income. I’m having fun and I have plans for greater things. This blog is meant to be both informational and testimonial. My prediction is that I will see my rise to financial independence played out in this blog.
