Yep! Usually, bloggers request a payment by cheque, but I did mine through online banking as I wanted to be sure to get the payment. I didn’t want to see the work of 3 years of blogging to get lost in the mail. What really help me in reaching my first 100$ in Google AdSense is HubPages and of course, this current blog. I reach 100$ once, I can reach 100$ a second time. I just hope that next time, it won’t take me as long as 3 years lol. But I see blogging as a hubby, and when you see blogging this way, your chances of making good money of blogging is low. I also blog on a very personal tone. I am not an expert on anything really, so it makes it even harder. But I have to say, in the last couple of months, I saw the traffic on my blog increasing. The key: just keep blogging, writing, I guess. On a long term goal, I would very much like to be able to earn 100$ per month from Google AdSense program. It’s possible. In my case, 100$ per month would required more articles on HubPages, more post on my blog. Extremely difficult to blog, write articles and work full-time! But I am willing to take the challenge!
The last couple of days had been quite busy. I had been busy at « stretching » my budget, as a new payer is being add on this upcoming May, my RSP credit line payment. My monthly payment is of around 107$. Currently, I have just enough money to cover up for my expenses. But luckily, I can cover all the payments I need to make, rent included for the month of May. Which mean that all of what I will earn on my next paycheque can be money save over my next investment, 100 new stocks of Corby Distilleries Limited (CDL.A). At a point, I am quite tempted to just cash in my dividend instead of making them roll over but as view before…. There seem to be no easy way. I can make end reach just the way I am being set right now but of course, I want more.
April 23, 2010 had been quite an extraordinary period for my portfolio. Back than, my non registered portfolio was at 49 701.44$. For the same portfolio, I registered today a 841.75$ lost. The beautiful gains had been lost, but I am confident I will reach the 841.75$ in gain really soon. I do not really know what to think about the situation in Greece and other European countries. But hope its turn for the best.
So I guess I will have no choice than going out of my comfort zone and work more hours at my daytime job, save save save and… job search. This week, I try to be careful with my expenses. I begin to cut on my coffees but believe it or not, it has an effect on me. I am feeling less alert and more sleepy. I bring tea bag at work and in the morning, I made myself some coffee. But nothing to compare to Second Cup coffee, that’s for sure.
Cutting on small expenses can have a huge positive effect on a budget. As for myself, we can talk about one, if not 2 coffees per day for a total of 4.42$ per day. 4.42$ x 30 days = 132.60$.... 30 days because not to forget I work Saturday and Sunday too… And this amount does not even include eating out. It make easily 200$ per month that I can save pretty easily. I done this kind of saving before, giving myself sometime a « non coffees week » goal. Each time, the goal had been more or less respected, but each time, I had been able to save some money. Myself, my bad habit is mostly coffee and eating out. Once it will be under control for good, I will be fine. I am just very happy to have already the cash to pay all of my May expenses.
