Alternative Income - September
Oct 14th, 2008 by Nut
Well, time for another look at how the alternative income is doing. As you can see on the left, the ING account is once again leading the way. It kind of feels like cheating to count this because I a) don’t spend any of it, and b) I’m not doing much other than saving money to get it. But I guess that’s the beauty of it.
The Adsense numbers are down a little bit, not much. I got a few cents for some stuff people bought on Amazon, which is always nice to see. I measured out the average increase of my Adsense income and after September it’s averaging a 33% monthly increase, despite the 34% drop this month.
If I can just get it to steadily creep up at that rate every month, I would be very happy. That’s tough to do, obviously, but that’s the idea.
None of my other income categories contributed, which sucks. Come on people, what’s up with not opening an ING account and getting free money to do it??? I still don’t get it. Unless the whole world already has an account—which would be a good thing. I guess.
There are some other accounts that aren’t doing anything: I have a LinkShare account that so far has yielded nothing. That’s the Netflix ad on the right and the LinkShare box too. I’m waiting to see if that will ever “wake up.” It happened (sort of) with Amazon so I’m hoping I’ll eventually get a trickle with that too.
Anyone out there with a LinkShare account have any advice for me? How long until you started to see some income?
