Who Paid You For/in September 2023? Here is My List
The Start of October used to be a special time in the beermoney world. WIth the final quarter of the year, holiday advertising dollars started flowing and everyone worked hard to make that extra holiday money. BUt those days are largely over. There isnt a bump anymore of any magnitude. But we can still earn us some extra holiday money.
September summary
September was down from last month slightly in the normal stuff and nothing to boost the numbers like last month. Only 4 things paid me this month. And Ill be honest. Mturk is getting tougher. There are some days I have the scripts running and not pick up anything for hours. I honestly dont know how viable Mturk is for new people anymore. Now I will say that my Trading Livestreams on Youtube in the mornings take away some opf the prime earning time away. But I used to be able to stay pretty busy all day long with stuff that was worth doing.
Prolific is still a rock star, but even it has its slow days. A couple days this week I have no surveys for several hours in the day. Swagbucks is also more difficult. The game offers that were so lucrative earlier this year and last year have gotten much harder. And more and more earning oppurtunties seem to be going away as Protege continues to buy up more of the industry and the industry continues to consolidate.
If you are looking to start beermoney, I would suggest looking at usertesting, dscout and the programs like that. And Data Annotation. Those programs seem to be where the money is at right now. The old methods are getting harder. Things change.. have to adapt.
Thats all I have this month.
There are two general things I want to chat about though that dont have to do with earnings.
The first is Mturk. I get a lot of questions about Mturk each month. And I dont mind helping and answering questions so dont think im complaining. BUT.. I have written an Mturk 101 that might answer a lot of questions you might have. Its linked on the right hand side of this subreddit.
The second thing is people from countries other than the US contacting me. Again I certainly dont mind, but I really have no idea what works in other countries. Its just not something I have the time to keep up on. And I hate that there arent many options for people outside of the US/UK/CA. Its heartbreaking when someone says just $25 a month would make a big difference and I dont know where to refer them to. SO if you arent from the US.. I honestly dont know how to help you but wish I could
So thats my September How did you do?

FOOTNOTES
1. Does not count Ref earnings
FAQ
I live outside the USA. How can I earn?
Unfortunately most of the stuff I do is either USA only or US/UK/CA/AU. So its hard for me to advise whats available to people outside of those areas. If you live outside those 4 countries I really dont have advice for you. And I dont have much advice for even outside the USA.
How Much Time do you spend with this?
Its Hard to quantify. I am in front of a computer ALOT but its not always focused on making money. I have games I play and have scripts that watch for HITs ON Mturk so if something pops thats good I switch over. Plus Im often doing multiple things at once. That said.. there are people who make more then me with less time. Im actually very inefficient.
Why dont you get a real job?
Health issues.. and I can nap at 1PM.. and I dont have a boss looking over my shoulder... and I can work naked (I dont.. or do I....)
You must have a ton of referrals to make that much!
All the totals above represent only personal earnings. I seperate out ref earnings.
OMG! You must cheat somehow to make so much!
I do nothing outside the TOS of any of the programs. I consider this income to be a blessing and wouldnt do anything to jeopardize that. Plus cheating just kills programs and defrauds the companies that are allowing me to make this income.
Do you have to pay taxes on all of this
Yes on most of it. There are some exceptions but the majority of this income is taxable. Most of these companies dont issue 1099s but that doesnt mean you dont have to pay taxes. Please consult a tax professional if you have questions on how to handle taxes on "beermoney" income
