I am looking through signatures and going over many posts to see what will work for me and my situation. But in the process I don't know how many of you keep track of 5 plus part time jobs even if it is just clicking ads or taking surveys. You're still having to track the earnings on it and the time. So I'm wondering how you keep track and do any of you earn $900 or more all together writing articles, writing reviews, or doing non-phone work?

I think everyone has their own method. I know some people use Excel spreadsheets, which just don't work for me. I use a simplet .txt file. I just list the month, the company and the amount that I made that month.

most companies pay via paypal as well so you can do monthly screenshots of your paypal account.

Good question and good replies so far. I agree, that most companies have a built in system for you to access as a "home page" of sorts that will list your activity as well as earnings derived from it. Otherwise, there are means to access a program that will keep track of it.

I use simple spreadsheets to keep myself organized. It really helps a lot.

I do the same thing! LOL I am going to try and make myself a weekly schedule of what I need to do and get it organized a little better.

Normally, companies are paying 1 of 3 ways
1) check - you will have a check stub
2) direct deposit - you will have bank statements you can access (and most co. either send you a check stub or you can access it online)
3) paypal - you will have bank statements you can access
If you invoice the company, you will also have that record.
Also you will receive a 1099 from each company which has paid you over $600 as an IC (or a w2 if you're an employee for all work completed)
** if it's 'fun' money like get pd to sites, unless you make a lot, it may be considered as a hobby vs work, keep track & ask your tax man.
