Monthly Update - May 2009

During this month I have been rather busy and unable to commit too much time to my online money making activities. I wrote two hubs at the beginning of the month, on on Great Dance Party Songs and one a review of the online survey site OpinionWorld. I have also written a Knol on Biochar. This writing of the Knol was an experiment to see if Knol's would gather traffic, although unfortunately so far it has been extremely disappointing. Apart from this I have carried out a few paid searches using Homepages-Friends, but that is about it.

May 2009 earnings:

Hubpages: $88.73 (658% increase from April)
Home-pages Friends: £1.73 (258% increase from April)

From other sources, including paid surveys I earnt nothing, which is to be expected since I have been unable to complete any for the last few months. Hopefully I will be able to complete more soon though.

As can be seen there has been a massive increase in Adsense earnings. This was mainly due to the good fortune I faced with a link to a search result page being placed on the Yahoo homepage. For this Yahoo! search one of my hubs appeared top of the rankings, and so I achieved a lot of traffic from this with an associated surge in earnings. I also had a great increase in the amount I earnt from paid searches, although this may mainly be due to having carried out very few last month.

I hope to increase my number of hubs as well as exploring various other money making opportunities.

Weekly Earnings Update - 6th April 2009

Over the last week I have carried out a few surveys. I have also been paid into my PayPal account for two OpinionWorld surveys. I have continued to use Homepages-Friends where I get paid for searching the internet. I am most pleased with my Hubpages Adsense earnings which have grown considerably. This is most impressive considering that I have not submitted any new articles, and such I am getting an increase in income despite writing no new hub.

OpinionWorld: £2

My Homepages-Friends: £0.53

Hubpages: $3.05

My hompe-pages friends update

The amount in my Homepages-Friends account, where I get paid for searching the internet, is now up to £7.46 although I still only have one referral. Click the banner on the right to get more information and to sign up.

25th February

Yesterday I mentioned that I had sent an email off to Homepages-Friends. I received a prompt response, and it turns out that my searching patterns were flagged up by the computer and so my account had been terminated. However, they have given me a second chance so this time I will have to search better.

I also received two £1 payments into my PayPal account from OpinionWorld so I am happy about that as well.

Todays news

Yesterday I must have done a lot of searching as the amount within my Homepages-Friends account increased from 53p to £2.08, with a total number of searches of 99 (and I am yet to get any affiliates). I intend to post a bigger blog about Homepages-Friends (www.myhpf.co.uk) when I have more experience of the site but until then I shall continue to post these basic updates. However, it is worth pointig out the money is earned for searching the web using the serach box like I would normally do so it is well worth it in my opinion.
