OK, I will confess, I have completely lost the plot with making money online in recent months. The frequency of blogging on this blog and others has reduced to nearly non existent, I have not added to any of my various sites in ages, I have not done anything to increase traffic and have done very little with Squidoo, HubPages, etc. However, I am still making some money. Not surprisingly the traffic to my various projects has diminished somewhat, but they are still ticking over and the money is still trickling in. Of course I will never earn a massive amount of money by doing nothing, so I need to find some motivation from somewhere.
This month's results are somewhat skewed by a large payout from Amazon as a result of a particularly good month for sales a couple of monthes ago (payments from Amazon take two months to come through). Anyway, here are my earnings for the past month:
Clickbank: $24.07
Blogsvertise: $15.00
Squidoo: $4.78
Amazon.com: $353.72
Total = $397.57
My biggest earning month so far, just at the point when I have been losing interest!!

Monthly Earnings for May 2012
Another month gone and time to look at my earnings again. The last couple of months I have felt a little disillusioned with this making money online stuff and have put very little time into it. As we enter June I decided to renew my efforts and have decided what focus is and hopefully this will pay dividends in due course.
On the positive side, despite my lack of effort, I have continued to make some Amazon sales and a couple of Clickbank sales as well. The main positive though is that I have received another Adsense payment this month. Here are the totals:
Adsense: $101.23
Clickbank: $20.86
Surveys: $12.29
Squidoo: $1.14
Total = $135.52
Not bad I guess considering I have put in nearly zero effort this month! Back to the grindstone this month I think.

Total Earnings for April 2012
Yes, April! I am way behind schedule! I have been really busy lately and have got out of the habit blogging both here and on my other blogs. Here are the totals anyway:
Clickbank: £22.70
Squidoo: $1.24
Surveys: $6.26
Amazon.co.uk Associates: $41.70
Total = $70.90
Pretty disappointing really, but then I haven't really been putting much work in recently, so I can't complain.

No One Size Fits All Credit Card
Guest post
I have been thinking about switching to a different credit card lately, but it is kind of an overwhelming task to figure out which one is going to be the best for me. There are literally hundreds of thousands of different cards to choose from all with different incentives, interest rates, perks, and pitfalls. There are so many factors to consider before you can even narrow down what is important to look for? Do you pay your card off in full each month or are you paying interest as you pay down your debt? Do you travel frequently, especially to foreign countries? Are you a student or a business owner? I have been trying to do my own research in order to compare credit cards, but then I found there are websites which will do just that for you. You are able to see all laid out for you the benefit, uses, interest rates, signing bonuses, etc. so that comparing cards is actually easy. For me personally I think a card which has a good rewards program is the most ideal feature. I generally pay my balance in full, but use my card a lot in order to earn extra points. I am not sure yet if I want to go with a card that specializes in frequent flier miles because ideally I would love to start traveling more, or if that will give me the most “bang for my buck” so to speak. I have seen some cards which give you a pretty decent amount of points just for signing up which would really be nice. If I had a balance I still needed to pay off on my current credit card and was paying interest, the most important thing I would be looking for is a card which allows for balance transfers with a 0% interest rate for at least a few years. Because I do plan to travel more in the future, especially out of the country, it is probably important for me to also look into the service fees associated with money exchange and using your card out of the country. It's hard to be sure you are getting the best fit (and deal) possible when there are so many options, but at least there are tools which can help you sort through what is worth and what is not.
