Tallying Up – Gotta Start Somewhere

The goal is to earn $2,500 with my home earning strategies by December 31, 2014. However, I have been using various home earning strategies off and on for the last 3 years. So I think I should start by showing what strategies I am currently working with and how much I have earned up until this point so I can start to track how much I earn by the end of the year.

Also note, my husband also has accounts with some of these sites as well, so these are just my stats. We’ve earned about double this if we include his as well. I am hoping that between both our accounts going forward we will reach our goal of $2,500 by 12/31/14.

Very First Post – Home Earning Strategies

Welcome to my Home Earning Strategies blog. My name is Abby and I have been home earning off and on for at least 3 years now. In the beginning, I was just looking for ways to earn a little extra money and researched ways online. I couldn’t believe how many opportunities there are. I am now focused on really building up a consistent strategy to earn from home so that I can become a stay at home mom and take care of my family. My goal for this blog is to set goals to keep me accountable and share my strategies and exact process with others so you can do the same.

Right now, I work full-time and so does my husband. We don’t have any children yet but will start trying this year. My hope is to start this blog and really building my home earning strategies so that by the time a baby arrives and it’s time to go back to work after maternity leave, I can stay at home and just rely on my husband’s salary and my home earning strategies.

Fingers crossed! I look forward to sharing this home earning journey with you so that you too can earn extra money as well. Post comments, share your feedback and ideas. Let’s do this together.

Thanks Future Home Earners!

My home earning strategies consist of:

Extreme Couponing
Rewards Sites – Like Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, Send Earnings, Hulk Coins, Fusion Cash, etc
