July Bookkeeping

The "Creepy Guy" article really did some incredible things to my numbers.

For three days during the apex of it's viral spread, I actually made enough from writing to consider it my day job.  Three...glorious...days.

However now things are back to a slightly elevated normal.  I'm averaging about three dollars per day.  (Which is up from two, and that is awesome.)

Still $20 of this was from freelance, so it's $360.72.

Last month was $170.27.  So I made about $210. off of donations.

This means Google will be sending me a check soon.   At that point I'll clear the Paypal account, stick 10% in HenWen for some eventual professional website design, and donate 10% to children's literacy.  I'm going to see if the Oakland library has a program I can just earmark a donation toward.  The place I found was a masajid/mosque, which while I don't strictly have a problem with, I was a little surprised to get a receipt saying that some of my last donation had gone to buying religious literature.

June Bookkeeping

Don't forget that $20 dollars of this is not blog donations (but actually a  payment for a freelance job).

I was at  $122.92 for May.  So that's $47.35 off donations and $15.71.

So this has actually been my best month yet.  I'm still headed for a late summer Adsense check and Paypal emptying.

May Bookkeeping

This number is $20 less than it actually is.  A friend wasn't sure how to pay me for a freelance job, and ended up putting the money in Paypal.

I was at 60.01 for April.  So basically I made a touch over $40.00 on the donation side.  $50+ish for the whole month.  

Looks like I should probably have the next $100 at some point before summer ends.  At that point I'll drain the paypal account and do bookkeeping.  (Donate 10% to children's literacy charity and save 10% for improvements to the blog itself.)

April Bookkeeping

Figures from April:

This is less awesome than it looks.  It includes the 37.64 from the months prior.
Basically April's total was only $23 and some change.

The T Files

Each month I will (quietly) post screen shots of the blog's financial gains so that I maintain transparency regarding my Financial Pledge.  When Google sends me a check, I will post a picture of my PayPal account, the receipt from the charity, and a picture of me either stuffing Hen Wen with cash.  Eventually that will translate to improvements on the blog which you would get to see.

The intention here is never to brag, but rather to remain transparent about things like the literacy charity that W.A.W. provides.
