August started out like a fire. I was making tons of money and rather excited. Well, a ton of money for me anyway. In the end I made almost $600 for the month. Not as well as I thought I might with the start that I had, but not bad either.
I worked hard on sponsored posts, something I don't normally do. But it was a very profitable thing.
Sponsored Reviews $29.25
PayPerPost $112.18
Blogitive $5
Social Spark $58.14
CREAMaid $10
Smorty $18
Blog Advertising - Get Paid to Blog
Blogsvertise $6
PayU2Blog $65
Total for sponsored posts-$303.57
Other then the sponsored posts I made a little bit of non-passive money from a couple of programs.
Helium Contests $40
Helium Reward-athon $21
Associated Content Upfront Payments $33.42
Total active Income-$94.42
I got passive income from a few sources. The one that includes a number of different sites is Google Adsense so that will be broken down for you.
HowToDoThings.com $48.71
Hubpages $10.64
Google Adsense Total Earnings-$59.35
Other Passive Earnings-
Helium $107.39
Associated Content $3.94
Triond $0.50
eHow $10.74
Kontera (on Hubpages) $2.08
Chikita (on blog) $0.01
Total passive earnings-$122.58
There are still a few odds and ends that make me money in various ways. I haven’t made a ton with them this month, but I have made some.
myLot $2.88
Homepages Friends $5.20
Odds and ends total-$8.08
With a lot of work and some satisfaction I can say that I made a total of $598.70. This is more then I have made in a long time. It is true that I worked harder for it then I have in a long time, but this is a good sign.
If you have any questions about these programs or how I make money you can check out my profile and my money making blog (link found on my profile). You can also ask questions here and I will try to get back to you when I can.

Congratulation. SOunds like you are doing great. Do you work fulltime and are just on the pc part time or are you on all day? I think this is great income for a part time job.

I work online more then part time and less then full time. Most of the things that I do work toward building up my passive income which continues to grow each month. My goal is to work this into a large enough amount that my husband can quit his job and work from home as well writing and crafting. It is a long way from that, but I am working on it. I work highly interrupted with a two year old running around and his needs being met before my work needs. However, I do put in a number of hours and work hard to get as much done as possible...

I am very impressed. You have to be very organized to be able to get all that work done with a small one aroung. They can get into everything very fast. I hope to achieve your level of success and am bookmarking your blog to make some changes to what I do.
Congratulations. It is nice to hear of someone making it!

You certainly had a busy month, and it is a good sign that you'll continue to earn more.
I don't really count my money until it has reached my PayPal account, but August was my best month so far, with six articles accepted and paid for!
I started a new blog this month and now I must spend time promoting and building it up. When it has traffic it can add something to my monthly earnings.
I'm still awaiting some publishers decisions on several of my articles, and I have some more assignments to write and submit in the next two days, so September could also be a good earning month. I hope it will be a good one for you too.

Your best bet is to choose a few writing sites and write as many articles as you can. You will need hundreds to make a nice sum of money. I now make about $100 a month from Helium, but I have over 600 articles there.
Then you should start a blog on a topic you know a lot about. After 90 days of working hard then submit it to various sponsored post sites and write sponsored posts mixed into good quality content. Write at least three times a week and keep your sponsored posts at about two regular to one sponsored ratio for enough real reading to draw readers.
The biggest thing is that you will have to write a lot to build up a good amount of earnings.

I realize this was a while ago, but how many hours did you put in to earn all that money from your writing? Were all the things you wrote about on the same topic?

I am blessed to be a stay at home mom. I write between taking care of the house and a (now) 2 1/2 year old. I still write to this day. Sometimes I write a bunch of articles on the same topic, or nearly the same topic, other times I write a lot of different articles. The real reason it makes money is because each article that I write continues to make money month after month. I have been doing it a little over a year now and still make money off of articles written ages ago. It really takes a lot of time to build it up, but has been worth it.
