Creating Goals with your Home Earning Strategies (HES)

It’s important to have a goal for your HES’s.

My current goal is to earn $2,500 before the end of 2014.

While it may look from the tracker on the side of this page and the Home Earning Total Detail page, that I am not making good progress, rest assured, I have a plan.

While I don’t always hit my goals, at least I have something to motivate me and keep me going.

Some of my mini-goals are:

Earn 75-100 Swagbucks Daily

Earn $5.00 from 100 entries on StoreHours24.com Daily

Go on to Inbox Dollars, Send Earnings, Shopkicks, Receipt Hog – as needed to earn.

Plus as soon as I get my first payment, my new favorite HES will really help me pick up my earnings.

Thanks Future Home Earners!

Great HES – StoreHours24

Another really great HES that I have been using a lot and only found recently (August 2014) is StoreHours24

The basic idea is that this company is looking to create the largest database of store hours for you to be able to search and see what is open near you, etc.

They are paying people 5 cents for every entry that you submit.

That doesn’t sound like a lot, but it adds up and is super easy to do hundreds while you watch TV.

I have earned over $50 so far and I haven’t really even dug in yet, I basically been just testing it out.

The payments come regularly, their contact support is very responsive and it’s super easy to earn money and receive payments via Pay Pal.

Here are the payment I have received so far:

8/6/14                   $6.45

8/6/14                   $7.80

8/6/14                   $20.75

8/6/14                   $7.00

9/23/14                $13.95   Requested – Pending

What you should to right now to start earning:

Go to StoreHours24

Sign Up –super quick and easy

Think of some stores nearby to you, and get their Name, Address, Phone and Hours

Click Enter Hours

Fill in the fields (I will post a step by step in the future)

Check for Duplicates (they may already have this store, don’t get discouraged, try another)

Submit

You can check your pending entries under Control Panel

It takes about a day for them to approve your entries

Once you have a couple of dollars, go to Control Panel and Request Payout (you need a PayPal account).

It takes about 3 days for them to deposit into PayPal.

Thanks Future Home Earners!

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.

Results before the Challenge:

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!

I classify home earning as doing things from the comfort of your home that earn or significantly save you money or other forms of currency that are useful (like gift cards).

My home earning strategies consist of:

Extreme Couponing
Rewards Sites – Like Swagbucks, Inbox Dollars, Send Earnings, Hulk Coins, Fusion Cash, etc
Metal Recycling
Peer to Peer Lending
Sweepstakes
Goals for this Blog:

Earn $2,500 across all home earning strategies between September 2014 and December 2014
