I’m Baaaaaaaack!

August 22nd, 2008 by MMM

Hey everyone, sorry about my long absence. I am back into making money as a minor, so I will start publishing stuff on this blog again.

I have a job now. Yes, I’m still a minor, and can’t legally get a job, but I have one. My employer is The Dad. He is paying me to blog! I blog on my personal website, Butterfly Diaries. I get paid two dollars fifty cents for each blog post. I have a minimum of four blog posts a week, meaning a minimum of ten dollars.  The only other rule, is that each post has to be a minimum of two hundred words. That is a pretty good deal for me, saying I stopped all of my income.

I have my job and another blog. It is about Disney pin trading.  I post up all my pins, with a small description and stats. Then people can comment to trade. How does that make money you ask? Ads. There are ads on the site, and people click on them. Clicking gives me money. If people click on an Ebay or Amazon ad, and then buy something, I get a cut of the money. I can make any where from half a cent, to three dollars, to ten dollars!  And I didn’t even have to do anything.

Blogging has been a great source of money. I not only enjoy it, but I get alot of money. It is a good opportunity.

Now Anyone Can Write A New York Times Bestseller!

September 9th, 2007 by MMM

My Dad’s always told me that anything is possible. I asked him if he thought I could write a book. Of course, he said I could if I really wanted to and was willing to do the work. Then he told me about a system that could help my book get on the New York Times bestseller list.

It’s a teleseminar series called “How to Create a New York Times Bestseller Teleseminar Program” and put together by Jon Kremer. He in this program he gives you every thing you could possibly know to make your book a bestseller including, two seminars, A step-by-step outline of everything you have to do to create a New York Times bestseller, an audio of the talk he’s given for years on How to Out-Sell the New York Times Bestsellers Without Breaking the Bank, his Top 700 Independent Bookstores Data Files, and two books to help you out: Book Marketing 101: How to Create a National Bestseller, and Book Marketing 105: Choosing a Book Distribution System.

Now everyone, no matter what their age or experience, has the chance to get the same advice that helped Deepak Chopra and the authors of Chicken Soup For The Soul become so famous. Oh and wealthy too! Francoise Sagan was the youngest author to top the NYT list. He was only 20 when Bonjour Tristesse reached #1 in 1955. With this new system, you can not only have a bestseller, but a part of history too!

My Couponing System

August 26th, 2007 by TheDad

The Dad says:

When I was a kid we were a typical divorced, single mom, latchkey kids family in the 70s. My older sister and I did most of the housework and cooking while my mother was struggling to earn the income to cover our bills. Like most kids we wanted spending money, but there was little to spare at the end of each month. So my mother came up with a brilliant idea. With neither the time nor inclination to cut coupons herself she permitted us to do so. I say permitted, rather then required, because she rewarded us for our efforts.

The deal was simple: any time she purchased items and we had a coupon for it the cash saved would be split evenly between us. So, if we had a $0.50 off dish soap coupon, and she bought dish soap then we’d be paid $0.25. This benefited her, in that she’d still save $0.25 and it would help us because we’d have $0.25 to do with what we will (and comic books only cost a quarter in those days).

The only caveat was that she wouldn’t buy things just because we had a coupon. She had to need it and it needed to seem a good value anyway. I don’t remember specific numbers because it was long ago and money seemed so much different at the time, but I know it seemed well worth it to us at the time.

I find myself in a similar situation with MMM no, so have taken a page from my Mother’s book…

MMM says:

Every Sunday, before church I get the Sunday paper like most couponers. My old system was to cut out a few coupons, whenever I felt like it, that I was pretty sure my dad would use and keep all the other paper and read through it all to him. That took a lot of time
and work. It was also very slow. When we went in the store I would be dragging along and making it a lot harder.

My new system is at 7 P.M. every Sunday night I cut out all the coupons that might be usable. I then throw away the rest of the papers and scraps. For organization, I keep a binder with two folders in it. In one folder, I put all of the coupons from Valassis, Smart
Source or any other coupons valid for multiple stores. In the other folder I put coupons for stores like Rite-Aid and Walgreen’s. All coupons are also put in the order I think they are most likely to be used. When I get to my Dad’s house, I read him the coupons and he
decides whether they are worth using. When I go in the store, I only take the pile of coupons that may be used inside instead of taking the whole binder.

As for getting paid, we’ve set up a system so I get half of his savings. I think it is worth my time and effort. It makes quite a lot of money and saves my dad some at the same time. I believe couponing is a great way to earn money. I’m still dragging around a little bit is the store but that in because I just got back into couponing and have to get a little more organized. Couponing is where a large amount of my money comes from.

Weekly Earnings 8/15 - 8/26 2007

August 26th, 2007 by MMM

The first time we attempted couponing we went to Walgreens. I had a great coupon for padded envelopes. Only 39cents each! My dad sends things from Ebay all the time so these are very useful. We got more coupons and ended up going to 3 stores to buy more. We all so bought a few 16 ounce sodas, some aspirin, and a few hot patches. We ended up saving about $20.00! Which means I earned $10.00 in one day at Walgreens.

Every week I get a 10 dollar allowance for keeping my check register full of all my transactions. So I got that $10.00.

I also won $2.00 from my dad for guessing where we were going.

I keep a change jar of random change I find. Every once in a while I empty it and it gave me $5.00 this week!

I lost a tooth and got $2.00 from the tooth fairy.

I also got $2.00 for cleaning out Rover, our car.

This week I earned about $31.00.

Another Shot

July 13th, 2007 by TheDad

I took another shot at Epinions. I wrote a review about the board game Hands Down. I got pretty good ratings on it.
Review writing is becoming pretty fun. I wonder what I’ll write about next…..

Epinions

July 7th, 2007 by MMM

My first attempt to make money is on Epinions. You can write reviews about anything and get paid! People rate your reviews and possibly leave comments.
I’ve started out with movie reviews. I’ve done pretty bad so far. :sad: I gave away the ending to both of the movies I reviewed. I reviewed Evan Almighty and Ratatouille. Luckily, I am learning how to be a better writer by people’s comments.

Every month you get paid based on how many people read your reviews, and how well they got rated. I haven’t gotten payed yet because I just started. In the FAQ it said minors are allowed to post but can’t get paid until they turn 18, but my age was never asked. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

I also joined We Paid. They send you emails every day. Usually about ten emails a day.

Most of the mails give you points, but a few pay money. Usually a penny or two.
