Frugal Friday With Marsha -- My Laptop is Down

My laptop is down.  I can only assume I need a new battery as it won't hold a charge and now it's at the point of if it does come on, it goes right back off and says it's plugged in but not charging.
This makes me very sad, as you probably know.  I depend on my online work for my earning.

I am grateful for my 2 tablets, my plan phone, and 3 other phones that I run apps on.  I've been surfing on my plan phone, along with the 2 tablets.  But, now I have to also do my email from my phone as well.  No idea how I can even come close to doing it all.

In the meantime, here are the earnings I rec'd this past week from websites and apps:

$2 from PerkTV to my PerkPlastik card
$13.05 PayPal from MagicalJourneyTE
$10.48 to my checking account from Etsy after fees and shipping, including these from the previous order as well.
$13.29 paypal from Gardenmails
$3 PayPal from Pinecone Research
$1 amazon from the checkpoints app

It seems I can't put in links or banners without the tablet freezing up, so if you would like more information on any of the sites in my list, please contact me with Facebook messenger.

I also apologize for no recyclebank links, or Friday Freebie link, or the weekly link up.  It's not letting me even open a new tab to see if I could cut and paste!

Make sure to check out the Friday Freebie with your Kroger affilate store--it's a Kinder Joy!

Online Earnings June and July 2016

June was sure a bleak earning month.  I use the excuse that I was gone part of it on the mission trip with no internet or mobile data.  That's really just an excuse though.

Zubeezone-- $5.60 paypal
Swagbucks--$25 amazon
PerkTV-- $10 amazon
Pinecone research-- $10 paypal
Instantcashsweepstakes--$2 paypal
Empowr-- $12.65

This totals just $66.38.  I spent $38.33 total on upgrades with some traffic exchanges bringing my net down to only $28.05 for the month  :(

I sold a few of my early quilts which I ended with $63.59 profit for Gifts Galore and More (which I call myself).  However, I realized that there are things that I have bought for "business" that I've not thought to write down over the year such as my new sewing machine, bobbins, cutter blades, thread, and batting.  Now I'm lost on how to know a true figure for the business side of my earnings.

If I add the $63.59 then I made $91.64 in June.


For July it looked a little better:

Atomicmailer-- $16.57 paypal
zubeezone-- $5.39 paypal
squirlytraffic-- $5.39 paypal
chatabout-- $5 paypal
swagbucks-- $25 paypal and $25 amazon
mylot-- $6.96 paypal
rabadaba-- $13.78 paypal
perktv-- $10 amazon
pinecone research--$3 paypal
lucktastic-- $5 amazon
apptrailers -- $1.03 paypal

This totals $121.87.  I had a total of $40.38 paid out in upgrades making my net $81.49 for the month.
For Gifts Galore and More I had a profit of $4.74 which takes my earnings to $86.23.


I have bee rethinking upgrades on the traffic exchanges.  Some I have cancelled, some I am keeping for now.  I did add 2 more.  Here are the banners for the traffic exchanges that I am currently upgraded with:























I have lifetime upgrades in zubeedownlines, redstagmailer, bigfootmailer, and redstaghits. The rest I do pay a monthly upgrade fee.


Happy Surfing, and here is to more and more earnings online for all!

Online Earnings October 2015

Here are the places I received money or gift cards from in October:

zubeezone-- $4.70 paypal
redstaghits-- $36.22 paypal
swagbucks -- $25 amazon and $25 paypal
magical journey downline builder-- $4.55 paypal
apptrailers -- $4.50 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

trafficmagician -- $14.51 paypal

perkTV -- $25 amazon (Use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points. )

This totals $139.48, which sadly is less than my net last month.  That sure hurts my goal.
The upgrades that I have at redstagmailer, postmanhits, trafficmagician and zubeedownlines comes to a total of $30.29 for the month.
This takes my net online earnings to $109.19.

This must improve!  I started doing a lot more this month in the way of  joining different traffic exchanges.  I'm joining more to take part more in the VTG games. (I need to write a whole post on VTG some day)  I even upgraded at traffic browser for the lowest $2 a month to be able to surf 10 traffic exchanges at once instead of 7.  This is getting more done.
I'm still working on this and will continue to do so.

In the meantime, I also am working on my crafts again and will soon have my etsy store open again.

Until next month....Happy Earning!

July 2015 Online Earnings

July was a tremendously busy month and my online earnings show it too.

PerkTV-- $15 in gift cards (if you join, use my code 860efbf6 and get 50 bonus points)
apptrailers--$7.04 paypal (if you sign up, bonus code predictableuranus2 for bonus points)

zubeezone --$3.50 paypal

pinecone research $6 paypal
swagbucks $45 in gift cards
lucktastic $20 in Target gift cards
Traffic Magician --$11.01 paypal
Redstaghits -- $10.85 paypal

For a total of $118.40.  Now, redstaghits is new and I am in as a JV member and paid out $27 for a year upgrade and also $10 for an ad co-op.  I paid $11.99 for my upgrade on arkhits and paid $6.99 for my upgrade at Trafficmagician.  This takes my monthly earnings down to just $62.42.

As I said, July was tremendously busy, taking me away from my computer a LOT!  I've already brought in more than the $62 in August since things have slowed down for me away from home.
I look forward to seeing my totals for August and sharing them here with you!

How are you doing with your online earnings?

All Business Monday--The To-Do List

Someone suggested that instead of calling our New Year's list our goals, or our resolutions, to make it a to-do list instead.  She said list up to 100 things you wish to accomplish over the entire year.
I thought that made sense, so for 2015, I have made a to-do list instead.

This morning I read a post on bubblews about goals and how they are soon broken.  She suggested that we write about them and let others motivate us to keep them up.  The post can be found HERE, by rusty2rusty.  It made me realize that I've not even pulled my list out to look at it since the first week!

 

This week I thought I would share the items on my to-list that are related to my 'business', as well as how I am doing on the list as well.

 

1.  Promote crafts 4 times a week--I did this the first week of the year, but not since.  I'm sharing each week in Noner's posts. You can find her most recent one HERE.

2.  Sewing or crafts daily--this one is pretty easy for me to acomplish as I am almost always working on something.  The other night I delayed trying to figure out what to work on, but found something and got busy.

3.  Keep paperwork up DAILY--so far so good on this one.  I scrambled for days trying to get May through December put together from 2014.  That's the furthest I've ever been behind and it was no fun trying to round it all together.

4.  Input hausernet mail as it comes in.  Hausernet is a decoy mail program where I get paid .25 for each piece of mail that I receive and input the data.  Way too many times I've put it to the side and by the time I got to the pile, some of the dates were too late.  I'm already slacking on this too, with 4 days of mail sitting on the floor beside me!

5.  Read daily--this is on my 'business' list because once I finish a book, I will write a review.  Also, most of them that I finish will then be listed in my half.com store.

6.  Clear my gmail and keep it that way--not doing well on this one either!   A prime example of why it's so important for me to keep up with my email just occurred.  I went to half.com to get the link to put above and found that I have an order for a book.  I would not have seen it, if at all, had I not went to the site.  This is not the first time this has happened!  Yes, I stopped writing this and got the book ready to be picked up in tomorrow's mail.

7.  Promote zazzle items--I don't think that I've done this even once for 2015.   I would like this to be once a week.

8.  Write a blog post daily--I was doing great on this until I skipped this past Saturday.  I'm going to change this a bit to include updating older blog posts as well.  If I just don't have anything to write, I can update a post instead.

9.  Service both sewing machines--I can't keep up with my sewing if the machines aren't kept up.  One right now won't work on the stitch I need to do one project.

10.  Complete this or that---I put it this way for this list, but on my actual to-do list, each quilting and sewing project that is started is listed separately.  I can't put them up for sale if they aren't finished.  You don't really want to know just how many projects I have started.

That's the end of my list that pertains to my money earning.

Looking forward to reading business related type posts this week that you will share.
