Planning for All the Ways to Make Money Online

There are many ways to make money online. Some options give you a full-time living and others help to add a little extra to save up for a rainy day or stretch your budget. But how do you find the time to fit everything in?

I personally can't fit all the options into my day. There's just too much to do at once, but I still enjoy a healthy living with the internet. I fit in as much as I can and it's possible with planning and being picky.
  • I don't bother with the paid surveys. I've personally found them a waste of time and energy.
  • I don't bother with some browser add-ons to save money. They slow down my computer and end up being offers that I wouldn't usually look for. I'm not in the habit of spending money for the chance at a saving.
  • I don't feel guilty if I can't fit everything into my day.
What do I do instead? Well, I make a plan for all the ways to make money online that work for me.

I'll have a list of things that I have to do in a day. This list usually includes client work, any deadlines that I've personally set, and any blog posts that I'd like to write.

The things that need to happen are then planned out in the diary. I give myself time blocks for all the work that needs to happen, making sure I'm productive with every hour of my day. Yes, I even plan in breaks to ensure I look after myself! Sometimes that plan doesn't quite work out as expected, but the majority of the time it does.

Then I have a list of extra things that I'd like to do. These are the bits that I find fun or worthwhile and bring in a little extra money at the very end of the day. They're only done if I definitely have time.

Slice the Pie (<-- affiliate link) is one of the things on my list for the end of the day. I haven't actually used the site in a long time but I always have it open for when I need it. I love reviewing the music and hearing some indie bands.

Planning is essential if you want to use up all the ways to make money online. You'll avoid wasting your hours where they're not appreciated and gain a bigger income to reach your financial goals.
