Aaron Nelsen,
Passive Income E*Trade was kind enough to raise their interest rates mid-May, and I also had a CD account that matured, so my interest income is up significantly this month.
- Interest: $61.85
- Dividends: $10.38
- Credit Card Rewards: $34.85
- AdSense: $19.32
- Text Ads: $25.00
- Misc website income: $15
- Surveys: $3.00
Yielding a healthy $169.40 for the month of May, easily surpassing my $100 goal for the month.

Passive Income Tragically when my bank cut my interest rate again last month, it was not an April Fools joke, now the rate is 3.01%… for shame.
- Interest: $36.22
- Dividends: $10.04
- Credit Card Rewards: $18.37
- AdSense: $11.78
- Text Ads: $25.00
- Misc website income: $15
- Surveys: $12.00
That’s a total of $128.41, so I made just slightly over the $100 a month target.

Aaron Nelsen,
Passive Income This month I added a new category, Surveys! Yay! I signed up with Pinecone Research and MySurvey and so far I’ve made $8 off two surveys, which is great considering I’ve only been a member of both sites for 10 days. Anyhow, last month I set the goal for myself to try and average $100 a month, did I make it? Indeed I did, and my February earnings even make up for being $4 short last month.
- Interest: $35.37
- Dividends: $11.86
- Credit Card Rewards: $23.10
- AdSense: $4.41
- Text Ads: $25.00
- Misc website income: $15
- Surveys: $8.00
That’s a grand total of $122.74. Not bad at all, and for the record if you’re lazy like me and want to buy a few extra cups of coffee a month I highly recommend you sign up for MySurvey. Read more…

Passive Income My passive income for January was slightly lower than December, mostly because I had to pay for classes, my speeding ticket, and the bank cut my interest rate. Ah well, still not a bad start to the new year.
- Interest: $30.58
- Dividends: $11.53
- Credit Card Rewards: $13
- AdSense: $9.93
- Text Ads: $16.02
- Misc website income: $15
That rings up to a fairly respectable $96.06 for the month, I’m hoping to see an average of $100+ per month this year, we’ll see how that works.

Passive Income Since October I’ve been trying to cheat the system and get something for nothing, in this case, a little extra income without any work.
My total passive income for October was $63.19, not too shabby for just getting started. Here are the numbers for November.
- Interest: $15.11
- Dividends: $14.72
- Credit Card Rewards: $24.58
- AdSense: $3.13
- Text Ads: $16.02
- Misc website income: $15
Bringing my total passive income for November to $88.56, that an increase of $25.37 over October, and brings the total earnings since the beginning of this project to $151.75.
My main dividend stock just dropped their dividend payout to 10 cents per share for the next three months, which stinks, but I expected it.

Passive Income At the beginning of last month I made a post about my quest to earn money doing nothing, or passive income if you will. Here are the results for the month of October, I made $63.19 in passive income, here’s the break down…
- Interest: $11.13
- Dividends: $13.22
- Credit Card Rewards: $16.57
- AdSense: $7.17
- Text Ads: $15
This blog generated nothing in AdSense income, which is sad, I also didn’t end up doing anything with Revver, so no love there either.

Passive Income As a freelancer my income is anything but steady, so in recent weeks I’ve undertaken the task of trying to generate some passive income through various projects. I’ll be posting a monthly report on how much I make through passive income, but first, here’s an overview of where my passive income will be (hopefully) coming from.
This Blog:
The concept is simple, write about random things I have an opinion on, toss in a few Google Ads and hope somebody clicks… However, this money is split between myself and my fellow bloggers, so I doubt it’ll generate that much income.
Google Adsense:
I run a random forum which I spend 3 minutes a week actually running, and again it has some Google Ads up on it, it currently makes enough to pay for its hosting (and the hosting of this site).
LinkWorth:
I’ll be using LinkWorth to sell some text links on various sites that I run.
Revver:
We’ll see just how many cents can be made uploading random videos to Revver.
Dividends:
I have a few investments that pay out dividends, one monthly, the rest quarterly. I’ll be looking to add several more dividend stocks over the next 3-6 months.
Interest:
Much like dividends, this could be considered cheating… but what the hey.
Cash Back:
My credit card gives me “rewards” for spending money, and while I don’t plan on spending more money just to earn rewards, it’s a nice bonus. To take advantage, I’ve moved as many of my bills as I can over to my Chase card, I have to pay them anyway, so why not earn a little cash back?
