6/2/13 Report

Today I only spent an hour or so working online.

I did 100 mturk jobs (I can't do more until I have done tasks for 10 days straight) and that's about it. Jon and I went to the farmers market on the Everett waterfront which was fun, but not very productive.

I am going to write up proposals for a few Elance data entry positions tonight and finish my Squidoo article on how to pick good professors. I would love to do Infobarrel, but I don't believe I can make any income with Infobarrel until I have an Adsense account which I can't get until I am more on top of writing in at least one of my blogs.

Goals for June:
-Write in each blog 5 times/week
-Make $50 with mturk (not including the $28 I already made)
-Write 5 Squidoo lenses

I know these don't seem like very ambitious goals, but I have finals and will be gone on a road trip for the second half of June. That won't leave much time for being online.

InfoBarrel

I started InfoBarrel today. It is a website that allows users to write articles and post them on the website. The idea is that other people read the articles and click on the links or ads. This allows the writer to generate money. You are allowed to write about a ton of different categories, so can basically pick your subject material. I don't have a Google Adsense account, but will be signing up for one after an article or two of mine have been approved. So far I have submitted on article and am working on another. They recommend that people write thousands of articles in order to generate the most income which sounds somewhat daunting, but over time I believe I could write that many. I will keep you updated on whether my articles get approved and how signing up for Google Adsense goes.

Edit: My first article was rejected because it sounded too much like a promotion for a product :(. I submitted another article and have no word back on that yet. I am done writing for tonight. I found with both articles I submitted I wrote a lot more than they required, and need to work on writing less or these will take forever with minimal payout.
