Well as October is coming near the end, i thought it about time i do a little more of an update on what is happening for this project. It seems that even though i am only adding little bits here and there that this project is picking up a little bit of pace. For a number of reasons. The first i actually feel it is more continual growth now, as even though it is a small amount i am making something every month with interest at the bank. Secondly I am also seemingly finding or adding little bits more often.

In my last update i came across a find of some stamps, and a 5 cent coin which in total gave me $5 for the project. Well since then I have had a number of finds. The best find was actually by sheer chance, it was a $5 note, and i could not even see it. Just by chance i picked up this docket i saw on the ground and wrapped inside the docket was a $5 note. This was a good find and actually the second $5 since i started the project. Additionally other smaller finds have include a 10 cent coin at the checkout, and 4 x 5 cent coins. Which is not a bad number of finds.

So for the month this totals to about $10.30 added to the project $162.10 which is not to bad.

In more unfortunate news for the project however I am still a little behind on the other things i have hoped to be making some money on for the project. This like affiliate programs are not working as quickly as i had hoped. However i still do have some ideas to build this project up my sleeve, one of which i will announce to you in early November. So keep an eye out and i think it will be something that we can all benefit from.

Well if you have been reading for some time you may be aware that i have been making quite a few finds of 5 cent coins. For the moment this is still happening, i found another 5 cent coin the other day.

But then yesterday i made another find, a book of stamps with 9 still in it. At 55cents each that is $4.95 worth of stamps. Because i do not have any thoughts on how to use these in the project, i am going to put the money in and use them for other purposes, and put the money in that i would have normally spent on them.

As of yesterday i also made a goal that i want to achieve before the end of the year. This goal is still to be entirely defined, but the basic idea is that, i have realized i have a lot of junk around at home, and i want to get rid of as much of the stuff that i don’t use often if at all, before the end of the year. I will be looking to put any proceeds from this into the project, especially stuff that i have not used in a long time.

Finally at the moment i am spending some time getting all my primary websites, in order with new theme’s which will i hope be the last theme changes for at least 18 months to 2 years. I am making use of paid theme’s now, and hope to make good choices for the three sites that i going to initially make the theme changes. In making these theme changes i will be looking to hopefully better monetize, the sites, and so you may see a few changes with ads around some of my sites. Although i don’t want to make them to intrusive.

For this project i have decided to join a new Affiliate Program that i found. The program is for a Book website called Book Depository. The site has been operating since 2004, with an aim to offer as many titles as possible. If you are also interesting to signing up for this affiliate program you can visit the sign up form here. If you want more details when you get to the sign  up page just click on overview or FAQ.

One of the most impressive features of The Book Depository website is the Free Worldwide Delivery. This is one thing which you do not see often, however is a very nice incentive to buy, when people visiting through your links consider buying.

Anyway just a little something that i wanted to share and i hope that you find it to be a successful program, as i hope to find for myself as well.

I have been doing some thinking and believe that monthly updates are a good idea for this project. It at least gives something fixed and sets a pattern. While i will be looking to add additional content through out the month, i think earnings and finds really only need a once a month update.

So September was not great, but above what i have already mentioned in previous posts i gain a total of 24 cents in interest. Which i think is maybe only a little bit but it is sure better then nothing. Over the course of a year it does add up to a few dollars and will only get bigger with more money in the project.

Additionally i made an additional two finds, both 5 cent coins, which adds another 10 cents. Finds are still happening, however i am not sure if it is my mind set or what that is blocking more finds. The biggest issue that i see here is that when i do some odd different things, besides coins that is, i question whether it is worth picking it up. This may translates back to my thinking on finding things of value.

Anyway I still think that i need to do more to try and build my project, and is just something that i will work on i suppose.
