Income Report - May 2015

Earnings in May 2015 ... and olders for reference

Tracking my earnings here for reference of other small timers. These are my various online money makers that I use. I have different blogs all hosted on blogger and a small niche site also hosted by google for free. I use Adsense, Amazon and Superclix to generate some passive income from those sites. Sadly this month has been very bad. Some of the affiliate programs I used on Superclix ended. So no money from them. I'll have to generate new content there. Adsense and Amazon have always been low for me. Need to just keep going and creating content there.
My biggest money makers right now are a mix of active and passive income. Also the biggest income from Marketglory is income from shares of the game. All this money is always reinvested into more shares.
But here are the numbers for May and all previous income (so I can always show a running total and you see that there is some passive ad money flowing in every now and then).

Site	Older	May	Total
Adsense	1,39 €	0,00 €	1,39 €
Amazon	4,84 €	0,00 €	4,84 €
Superclix	10,99 €	0,00 €	10,99 €
Cashcrate	15,63 €	0,00 €	15,63 €
Marketglory	80,59 €	1,90 €	82,49 €
Total	113,44 €	1,90 €	115,34 €

Bitcoin / BTC

I'll also keep track how much Bitcoin (BTC) I got each month. I'll keep it separate from my other income as I keep it in Bitcoin right now. Those are collect from various faucets mentioned in in my earlier post here.

Bitcoin Faucets   0.00274500 BTC  (right now ~ 0.58 €)

I also started mining again with Minergate which runs in the background most of the time my pc is running. Running it while your pc is not needed to do anything else is not worth it as your electric bill will eat up those BTC easily.

Sweepo - BTC sweepstakes and freeplay lotto

I just signed up to Sweepo a new site that offers free sweepstakes and lotto. Currently 4 games are running with prizepools from $3 to $1300. Let's see if it's possible to win something there and if they really pay out (they pay in BTC it seems).
The sites is new and they claim to offer bigger prize pools soon. The only financing I see so far are paid plans (where you don't have to do captchas to enter the games). Not sure if they can survive very long that way. So enter fast and grab the money while it lasts. Entering the contests only takes a couple of seconds.

After 3 weeks of farming BTC/satoshi

Well about 3 weeks ago I posted about getting BTC or let's be honest fractions of BTC for free. Now, I didn't farm or harvest them every day since then. More like about 10 days so far and some of the better faucets I just added recently to the list and my routine. Let's break down how I did so far.

	wallets	paid	total
microwallet faucets	16190	116318	132508
BTC25	21043	70489	91532
Moon Bitcoin	8404	39985	48389
Daily Free Bits	19985	0	19985
Bitcoin Zebra	3600	28300	31900
sum	69222	226792	324314

The microwallet account includes all of the rest of the list. The BTC25 account is just one day of farming which is amazing. And if this keeps up it'll be awesome. I nearly made as much in one day as with the rest of the list in a week.

In the end this equals to roughly one dollar right now which sucks but maybe the BTC price will go up again. If the BTC25 goes on with those numbers I might just concentrate on that and 2-3 more.

Getting Bitcoins for free

There are a couple of sites giving away bitcoins or more like fractions of bitcoins (called satoshi) for free. Most of them give away around 200 satoshi per hour. So if you farm all those sites you get about 19000 satoshi per hour.

Faucet	Amount	Wait	Avg / h
Moon Bitcoin	fills up	5 min	400
Bitcoin Zebra	100 - 1000	1 hour	300
Bitcoinker	100 - 300	15 min	800
Pink Tussy Bitcoins	250 - 25000	1 hour	300
Flying Faucet	100 - 10000	1 hour	200
Running Faucet	80 - 10000	3 hours	100
RTube	100 - 1000	1 hour	200
BIG Coin	100 - 1000	2 hours	100
Best BTC Faucet	30 - 3000	3 hours	50
Coin checkin	10 - 10000	5 min	250
Daily Free Bits	100 - 1200	1 hour	200
scratch4satoshis	225 - 50000	15 min	2000
BTC25	525 - 6951712	25 min	12000
FreeBitcoi.nz	100 - 5000	1 hours	200
YourFreeBTC	1000	1 hour	1000
FairyFaucet	200	5min - 1 hour	400
CROWSBTC	600 - 300000	50 min	1250

Spin the Wheel	50 - 50000	15 min	300
Rob Coins	125 - 1000	1 hour	300
BitcoinGenie	250	10 hours	25

You may also try the Ore Mine which is a game giving away Bitcoins but it seems to have high withdrawal fees.

Update:

Found maybe the best faucet so far:

scratch4satoshis

225 - 50000

Update 2:
Even better sounds the following site:

Update 3:

As you can see most of this list is no longer available. Check out my updated list of BTC faucets

Niche site - small project

It's been a long time since I posted the last time. I want to reactivate this blog to trace a small project I want to do for the next 11 weeks. Another blog just did a little challenge building a new niche site from scratch. I'll try and do the same and write down my thoughts and progress here.

So the challenge to build this niche site starts today and ends on 8th of September. I'll do a small write-up every week (whenever possible on Monday).

First step is to select a niche and possible affiliate products. In my case I choose "Smoothie" as a niche. Now you might say that is not really a niche more of a pretty broad keyword but I'm targeting german traffic. I checked with Google Keyword Planer and it gets around 45k searches per month and it seems like it's still possible to get a good google ranking for the keyword. I also found a possible product on Superclix affiliate network which I can promote.

I created a first site on google sites and will create some articles and recipe sites there. I plan to include pictures as often as possible to gain traffic via image searches too. I linked the site with my google analytics account and we'll see how the traffic will develop.

Let's see how much money I can generate in those 11 weeks ... and as you might have noticed I'm trying to do so without investing a single cent. All will be done using free services from Google and other free sites.

I make money by showing others how to make money

That's what Johnchow does...so I assume it works :-) It's amazing how much money you can get by pointing others to good money making sources and receiving a provision. But what do you do while you are not at the top of the food chain and not everyone is following your lead ?
You sign up to something like cashcrate and earn money by doing small tasks one and a time and showing off. Than others will slowly follow your lead.



And the first dollar is free. So you only need to generate $19 and be ready for your fist check. If you do all daily surveys everyday you are done in only 2 weeks.

goo.gl - url shortener by google

Just a quick heads up for everyone..Maybe you already noticed but I didn't until today. Google launched their own URL shortener service. So if you often use an external service to shorten your links this might be interesting for you as the goo.gl look pretty nice and not so bad as tinyurl.com or others but maybe it's just personal preferance.

Here is the first URL in shortend : http://goo.gl/pFpAC

Another nice advantage is that each goo.gl link has it's own statistics page.
