Becoming a Work at Home Single Mom

Most of my readers know that my dream is to become a work at home single mom. I am working hard to accomplish this dream. I have been putting in a lot of extra time when I can to update blogs, write articles, submit Lenses, do surveys, and sell items on Ebay. I have to say it is taking a lot out of me, but I know that this is what has to be done to reach my dreams of becoming a work at home single mom.

What I am doing to reach my goal:

• Completing Surveys on Mysurvey
• Doing searches for Mypoints and Inboxdollars
• Submitting more upfront articles for Yahoo

My other new project is selling items at the local Farmers Market. I made my first batch of Jalapeno Pepper Jelly today, and will be trying it to make sure it tastes as good as it should. Tomorrow I will be making Spicy Honey Mustard. Some other things I will be making may be; homemade crackers, peanut brittle, preserves, salsa and tortilla chips. I will not start selling at the farmers market until next Summer, but I want to perfect my recipes and get my ServSafe certification again. I am ready for my next big step in becoming a work at home single mom. All of the things I am trying to do will help me be with my son more, and I am excited as well as motivated. Life is going to get better, God will show me the way to make it all work.

I am hoping I will be able to share my success story with becoming a work at home single mom in a few month. This is a process, and I have to keep up my momentum for success. My son is the most important thing in the world for me. His dad is not involved with him, and pays nothing. I am his sole provider, and I need to reach this goal for him and I both. Thank you everyone for continuing to read and the support.   

Inboxdollars Has New Earning Methods

I am an avid user of Inboxdollars, and have been for a couple of years. I enjoy reading a few emails or taking surveys and getting paid for it. A few months ago they added the search bar to there earning methods. You earn .02 per search, up to five a day. Now they have added even more earning methods; tasks and videos. I honestly do not know a lot about the tasks, but I have been using the video method of earning on Inboxdollars for a few days now. So far I have watched 20 videos, and earned .56. I do not think that is bad. I spent about 20 seconds on each video. On average I am making about .15 a day with the Inboxdollars videos. With the searches (3-5 minutes), videos (1 minute), emails (1 minutes), and occasional surveys (1-5 minutes, 2-5 days a week) I am earning about a dollar a day.I am happy making an extra $30 a month on one site, it is a great addition to my online income.

Inboxdollars Payment

I just requested my payment of $31 from Inboxdollars. I have made over $100 from the site in the last year and a half. It may not sound like a lot, but I really do not spend a lot of time on the site. I have been earning even faster since Inboxdollars has given the option to use a search bar to earn. I have doubled my earnings every week by doing very simple things that I do every day anyway. I try to find some of the easiest ways to earn money online, and Inboxdollars is one of the easiest earning sites. The site does have a large payout of $30, but you actually enjoy receiving the larger amount. I wouldn't recommend using just Inboxdollars as a way of earning online, but it is a great addition to other income sources. Sendearnings is another great earner that is similar to Inboxdollars.

Last Month went pretty well

In the last month I have began to put my focus more into my online income again, and it is beginning to pay off. It is hard to stay focused all the time, especially when I was working two other jobs and found out I am going to be a mommy. I was very overwhelmed the last weeks or two, but I still worked on line a little each day. I am still not back to where I was a few months ago, but I did have a positive month.

Ehow:

Even though I have not been able to submit any more articles to the site I have still found ways to increase my earnings. I edit a few articles a week, submit to search engines, and promote the articles whenever I can.

Associated Content:

I did the same with Associated Content that I did with Ehow, but I also submitted articles for up front payment.

Firehow and Bukisa:

These two writing sites are still two of my lowest earning sites, but I do still earn money each month on both sites. I still promote a few articles from each site and submit to them a few times a month.

Inboxdollars, sendearnings, and mypoints:

These three sites are my favorite sites that do not include writing sites. I actually earn money or gift cards from all three without spending much time trying. I click on my emails through my phone and spend about 2 minutes on these sites each day. I usually make payout on both sendearnings and inboxdollars every three months. Mypoints is even better. In the last month I have earned enough points to get a $25 gift card.

These are a lot of things that I do online, but I also have blogs and other things going on. I am pushing to make more money online because I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first child and single. I do want to be able to spend time with my child without worrying about my finances. This is making me really focus on my online income.

At Home Income Weekly Update 4/8/2010

Since I am back working a little more, I am beginning to increase my earnings. I did sell a few things on Ebay, and that definitely increased my earnings. I am having a yard sale next week and whatever I do not sell I will be considering putting that on Ebay if it is worth the time.

The writing has not been a big income for me this week, there has been problems on Ehow that are uncontrollable. That problem has decrease my Ehow income by more than $5 for the week. Associated Content has decreased in views, and Bukisa is not a big earner at all. FireHow has been a good site so far. I have had three featured articles on the site so far. The writing earnings could be more, and I am determined to increase the earnings.

I do have a few other at home income opportunities, and they have been doing fairly well. I am learning that all of the small home incomes do make the income increase. I have almost reached payout on Mysurvey, which is $10. I have reached payout on Mypoints, but I will be letting the points add up. I could cash out at $10, but it is a better value to wait for the $25 gift card.

I am half way to payout on Sendearnings and Inboxdollars. Once I reach payout on these two sites I will have $60 to add to my earnings. That is a great amount for reading a couple of emails each day.

My earnings this week were a little more than $135. If I did not have the Ebay items it would be dramatically decreased, so that was great to have.

Goals for next week:

• Focus on writing sites other than Ehow
• Begin to make a schedule again
• Focus on my work, and not everything else in my life
• Find ways to increase my earnings by even a small amount
  

Payment From Inbox Dollars

I received a payment from Inboxdollars today and wanted to share. The check was in the amount of 27.48. This is the third payment i have received from the site, each was about $30.

I enjoy the site because all I do is read the emails and take a survey from time to time. There are other options to earn money, but I usually just take a minute to do those.

I also found another site that works just the same as inboxdollars, it is sendearnings. I signed up a few days ago and already have $7. I have figured, if I work for both sites I will receive payouts around the same time. That will be an extra $60 ever three months. It does not sound like much, but I literally spend less than a minute a day on both sites.
