Money Received From Multiple Streams

I have updated my side bar to show the earnings by stream for all to see. Consider this my way of showing proof of incoming cash.

Things that you all should be aware of:

• Money is accruing on all streams - except Google Adsense
• Money is not recorded until it actually appears in an account I can use
• I have started and registered at many more sites that I will report on as they become real cash in my pocket. I do not want to mislead anyone.

Considering today marks the half way point in Month 2 experiment, I should be able to make or break the prior months earnings at this point. Because magically I am 1/2 way there at exactly the 1/2 way point.

I hope you all join in on these. Remember I am not looking to "live" off this money. My goal is to make enough to prepay my debts and start building a security blanket emergency fund for my family. Something everyone needs.

If anyone has questions or would like to help steer me in the right directions please leave a comment or email me at two5making1@yahoo.com.

Associated Content

What do you think about writing? Do you long to be able to write and share with others? If so Associated Content is your next multiple stream of income. At least it was mine.

This is a great site. They email you topics and things they are looking for and you write about your experiences and opinions. Examples are:

1. I purchased a new waffle maker, as you can tell from my Buying Guide, I love it and was able to share that.

2. My first article was a recollection of our families Vacation Horror Story. Read and laugh with me or at me if you choose.

As you can see, I have a lot to learn about writing and keyword usage. I am not a natural, but I am learning and trying to become better with each and every opportunity.

This site is a little slow with reviewing your articles, but once your article is approved and you accept the offer, the payoffs are deposited into your PayPal Account very fast. If you have time and can write topics on a regular basis you should be able to out do my earnings in a month or less.

Even if you do not take on this stream, go read the articles - I am sure you will want to bookmark the site as a favorite. Whether you are planning to buy something that you want opinions about or you just need to read a pick me up article like my vacation horror story, this site has it all and more.

Helium Knowledge

Helium Knowledge is a site that provides users with opinions and forum where members can share opinions. Since I began this site in June, I have sent many of my opinions into the universe about a whole range of topics:

Dog's in a Blanket Rated 1 of 6

Hypocritical Rated 1 of 6

Discounts Rated 1 of 39

All of which are strictly my opinions and have really no value to anyone but myself, but I have enjoyed sharing them.

I have not made large dollars through this site. Actually I have accumulated a balance, but not enough to be paid. I know of people who have made money on this site and continue to do so. It is my belief that it takes time and diligence and then it will provide residual income. In other words work now, make money later. Basic concept for all things - right.

The system is actually put together well. They have it set up in such a way that you can't help but make money. I do believe they need to revamp a few things like keywords and such, this would provide more hits when people search for questions and ideas. This would then provide more income to all.

Helium Knowledge does not pay for referrals with cash, but it does provide all will multiple sides to every situation and knowledge is power. The more people that do get involved the more profits for everyone.

Blogitive

Blogitive was my next online money making stream. I really like this site. It is so easy to make money with this site. With the added bonus of learning about another site or business and being able to share your opinions and ideas without the influence of another.

I have found this site has found topics that relate to me and provide opportunities to post based on my prior issues. Which is nice, because I am not headed to left field when my passions are going right.

This is advertising though and you should remember this if you decide to go with an account here. You will be reviewing various sites and deals and have to report your ideas and feelings regarding the sites. You DO NOT have to blog about a site if it has nothing to do with you or does not fit into your vision of where you want your blog to go. You have time to accept or decline the offer to blog about the topic. Should you decide you will accept the offer, they allow you approximately 2 days to gather your ideas and post them on your blog with a link to the site being advertised.

After you make your blog posting, you will need to return to Blogitive and post your URL address on the offering and save it to be reviewed. If your article is accepted you will be notified by email and your payment of $5 will be deposited into your PayPal Account on the following Monday, Wednesday or Friday, which ever day comes next in the week.

This is the offer from Blogitive for referrals:

We will pay you $5.00 for every Blogger you refer to this program, they must qualify. It will become much easier for Blogs to qualify once we have other service offerings. Here are the instructions on how to get credit for this. Have the person you referred submit a comment in the contact us form. They should tell us that they were referred by you and have them give us your Paypal email address. In the future we will create a more automated way to track referrals but we will do it this way for now.

I would very much appreciate it if you would do the above, if you decide to join. My email account for PayPal is Two5making1@yahoo.com. After you have established an account, I have received the referral bonus and you email me with your PayPal Email Account, I will gladly split the referral money with you.

We definitely are not going to get rich, but if we watch the nickels the dollars will take care of themselves.

PayPal

If you plan on making money on the web, a PayPal Account is a necessity.

You can open an account for free, with no need to make a deposit. This account will sit there until a site pays you money. So, it is my suggestion that you create an account today.

PayPal distinguishes you from others by your unique email address. This is how people will pay you. You may want to create a free email account at one of the various websites in order to publish your email. I have done this, because I use my regular email for business purposes and this keeps my accounts separated.

PayPal only has a referral bonus when you refer a merchant. If you are a merchant and need the flexibility to accept credit cards, please use my link...PayPal Merchant. It won't cost you anything and it allows me the possibility to make money off of any transactions you have. Thank you in advance if you use this link. Every little bit helps, as you very well know.

One more Big Point: After you create your PayPal Account it is in your best interest to sign up the account with a simple click, for the Money Market. By adding this free, addition to your account, your money will make money until you transfer to your personal checking/savings accounts. This as of today is worth 5.00%. Why not click the button and make your money make more. So, easy! This way I only transfer my money out once a month. This helps me keep track of where my money is coming from and how much I am making on a monthly basis without a bunch of calculations and Quicken reports.

Google Adsense - Scratch That

A quick check of my Google Adsense Account reveals that the l6 cents has magically disappeared. Was there a quirk in the system? I have no idea. I just have to say, I am not pleased. How does Google make money with this? How do other bloggers make money with them? This is just one of many things I hope to discover on my journey.

Kind of sad though, 16 cents is better than nothing. Well, it was.

NFO My Survey

NFO My Survey has to be one of my favorite new streams of income. Again it is not a get rich quick kind of opportunity. It is a site that pays you take surveys. These surveys range from $0.10 and up. The low end is what they pay you to answer a few key questions, if you answer to their specifications they will then offer you to continue with a longer survey that will pay you additional money, on top of the initial $0.10. One survey I completed paid $10.00.

There are not an over abundance of surveys, but they come at a nice a palatable rate. So, they do not interfere with your day to day activities. This makes them all the more enjoyable for me.

Payouts are made by check, which does take some time. I keep hoping they will decrease their costs and use the PayPal system. You can request a payout when your account gets to over $10.00. So, in all actuality your account is worthless and holds no value until that point.

I have been a member for just under 2 months now and I have received 2 checks, each for $10. This is a nice steady extra couple of bucks to add to my debt repayment and someday hopefully savings. I would recommend this site to all, who are interested in making some extra cash!

Google Adsense

Google Adsense was naturally the next multiple stream of income. It is available to all bloggers who create a blog on Blogger. So why not take advantage of a potential money making opportunity. Especially, when with just a few clicks you are up and running with an account.

Although, I have only been blogging since April and my first monies have only been accounted for yesterday, 7/28/06. A whopping $0.16. No, again, this alone will not make any difference to my monthly budget or debt repayment. Time will tell, if there should ever be any money here. I have read many other bloggers and they all speak of the cash to be made using Google's Adsense. So it does work for some, and it can work for you.

I will not give up at this point - I have so much to learn and am willing to ride with the punches to see where they take me.

Everything Mall

The Everything Mall my first trial at online income. This is a store that I was guided to through a book by Robert G. Allen callled Multiple Streams of Internet Income. I found Mr. Allen's book to be informative and inspiring and without it I would have never found the place that I am at today.

Anyone can create a store like The Everything Mall, it is free and with only one catch. The catch is if you don't have any business in 90 days your store is closed. To me this was a no risk trial and if you are learning I would recommend you try, what have you got to lose?

Click here to learn more about opening your own store Vstore. As with any store sometimes you can find better deals than elsewhere and other times no. I have personally made 3 purchases from my store and have saved money, even after shipping costs, from where I purchased these items prior. This money savings is before I account for the 2-10% the store pays me as the manager. I tell everyone about my store, but I also tell them if they can find it else where cheaper than go elsewhere. I am not trying to make money off of their losses of money. I am always looking for the Win-Win scenario.

Creating Multiple Streams - The Beginning

I am creating this blog to track my multiple streams of internet income. This will be my record of what I am doing to create these streams how they work and how much I make. Once the system gets flowing, I would assume that it will provide valuable information to other not-so-savvy bloggers like myself to help them on their way.

I hope you tune in to enjoy these trials with me.
