Trying Something New Starting Tomorrow

I like to keep track of how I am doing on each of my sites but didn't really have a solid plan. I think I have came up with something that will work. Each day when I go to a site for the first time for the day I will write my balance down. I won't keep track of it through the day until I am finished for the day. Then I will go to each site and write down the ending balance. This should give me an idea as to which sites are doing the best. I figure that way I can eliminate the slow sites and devote more time to the good ones. Wish me luck.

I think it is a good idea. I use to do that all of the time. I never manage to write everything down these days. There are often days when I am not even able to visit every site. Kids drive my world these days.

I can't guarantee that I will keep with it. I forgot to write down a couple of sites this morning. I know what you mean about kids. Been there and done that. I did day care for 14 years so it wasn't just mine. I don't always get to all of my sites cause I end up spending more time on some than I planned. We will make it though.

Can I ask what you are doing? I know I plan to be here and on a couple of other sites as much as I can be. Most of me living expenses comes from working online. I do take care of two elderly people also. Have a great day and good luck to you.

It sounds like a good plan to me. I would say to keep track of it for a week or so, but after that, I wouldn't put much time into it. It is a good idea to track your earnings like this a couple of times per year though. This will also help you to see if there is a time of year when a site is more productive than at other times of the year. Perhaps doing this for all your sites for the first week of every month would be a good idea...

I never really noticed to tell you the truth, but I guess it could be possible

I like your suggestions. I guess keeping track of them daily could get old after awhile. I will see what happens for a week and see how I feel about it then. Do you find that at different times of the year some sites does better?

I am also do the same thing as you. Checking and balancing not only to those sites I have. I am trying to be good at all but sometimes I failed and got upset. I wish I could do things better now. Everytime I plan to change thing, at first I am eager but if it does not workout..ooh problems occur within me. And its my attitude that I hate. Anyway, I try to change it and be good toward things made me bored. Again I plan to have do new task starting today.. :)

Patience, my dear. Just let it flow and don't rush things. I am not sure how this is going to work with me but if it doesn't work, well so be it. Don't be hard on yourself. No one is perfect and we can always find a way that works.

I did that once awhile back. Its better not to know. I was getting 2.50-3.00 per day. Hope you earn more than I did. Was kinda frustrating so I stopped checking the numbers.

But that is money you didn't have. Maybe I will only check it once a week. I am trying to get rid of the slow sites so I have to do something. Do you think once a week would be better?

Very true, its was just dissapointing as it took me like 12 hours to earn it online.

I sure hope this works. I want to know which of my sites are the best ones. That way I can work them more.

I wish you lots of lucky, I think that is a good plan. I do the same with all the sites I work with too. I write my stats first thing in the morning, and then I don't check them again until the next morning. This way I don't have to keep checking multiple times a day. Just and I'm done.

Thanks, Djbrat. It does make sense to wait until the next morning to check. I am going to adopt that plan also. If a person has referrals then the value could change over night. Have a great day.

I never keep track of how much each site brings in, as i raslly don't care, as I know I will get paid so it doesn't matter. Sure some sites are going to make money slower than others, but I feel that as long as I make money, it really doesn't matter. When it comes to mylot, I come in here to have fun, and enjoy my time in here, and not worry about how much I make or don[t make. If it works for yhou, then go for it. Take care, and have a good day.

It is nice to see where I am standing on each site. I am trying to make my time count and this way I can find out. I enjoy being here in myLot and it isn't all for the money. If that was all I was after then I could write more articles. Some of us just like to know for us.

I have done this too to find out what site really gives a better earning and worth spending more time. And I can say that myLot is one of the best site worth keeping for

myLot is number one on my list to keep. I just checked my earning statis on one site and it is going bye bye. I have made a whole $1.02 in 4 months. It is not worth my time to play around with it. This is part of why I am keeping records. I don't want to waste time on sites like that.

I did that at first, but then I would get so disappointed that I stopped doing it. I do however keep track when I am close to payout to see how much I have to do in order to make payout. I have been taking classes at JoAnns and a local craft store called Quiltique so I can learn new skills. My loving husband Randy has paid for a couple of my courses, but I have paid for most of them. I want to take two more quilting classes and need to pay 50.00 for both classes. I am so close to my goal and hope that I can make it. If not Randy said he would pay for one if I pay for the other one. I have until May 4th and still have a couple of weeks. I only need 10.00 to make this goal and think if I work hard enough I should make it.

You will make it. I will bop over and try to comment on as many of your posts that I can. I think it is great that you are taking those classes. There is a ;ot of money to be made in quilts. Have a super day.

I don't write it down just glance up and watch it change. Another site I use doesn't give money only points but it serves as reminder of how things are going. A blog I have keeps track of dates only and it shows me how often I am there. Sounds like a plan velvet you could even plot quickly a little graph just for comparison. It is like what a budget should do tells you where you are at but doesn't make your decisions for you.

I am going to try it for a week and see what happens. I wish I was better with my blog. I am pretty dense when it comes to setting all the stuff up to make it look nice. Maybe I will figure it out some day when I have time to work on it.

Hi velvet! can you share to us the results of your survey.. that could be helful also to us.. but meentioning those low earning sites would affect others.. it is okey not to share it.. but I did a good job that the wiser move to work online wisely....
@velvet53 (22534)

I sure will. In a week or so I will do a new post with how I feel about certain sites, which I feel is good and then the ones I am going to close. I will wait until cash-out on most of them. The ones that I hardly do anything on is going. Have a great Monday.

You can make it in excel format so that you can view every time you open your laptop. You will also know how much you earn from all your sites in a day. Actually, I am also planning to do the same on a daily basis. It's also a good thing if we have our own summaries. We will be able to know how we do on a particular day. This is a good plan. Have a great day!

Thanks for the great idea. That would make more sense as then I would have it all there from the beginning. I could keep a monthly sheet instead of having all the papers. I am anxious to get this set up so I can see how I am doing. Happy Monday to you.

Well, it will be good to find out which is the slow sites so that you could get rid of and concentrate on those you could earn more . I do not have other sites beside MyLot, so I do not have such concern . I would only come here whenever I could .

Best of luck with this idea. I play a little game on Mylot and try to respond to 30 posts a day. I did once do 50 in one day but that was too exhausting and the return was not as good as I expected. I do want to try another site but my time on my laptop is limited by other activities like my part time job etc. I don't think that I would keep a tally as it is so depressing but you are correct as you can work out which site pays you more
