“Err…where did this come from?” I thought to myself as I received my mail today. It appeared to be another payment from the widget bucks program as it had the exact same envelope and appearance from the first payment. Now the reason I was shocked is because as my regular readers know I decided to remove it from my blog for the time being since it was making the site load extremely slow. Upon opening the envelope, the check amount this time around was for $52.21 as seen here:

Not bad. I guess I can classify this as passive income since I didn’t really do anything active with it to generate money. The more the merrier and here is the updated results so far:

Stock Investment: $800
Blog Web Publishing: $338
Million Dollar Term: $100

Total: $1238.00

I received a check today from Mpire Corporation which is the company that runs the Widget Bucks program that I ran on this blog as a test. Here is a picture of the envelope that it came in:

Of course, here is a photo of the check itself for a payment of $63.60:

At first I was a little confused about the currency that the check was written in as from my experience most companies label it on the check. However, since the company is based in the US I naturally assumed it was in US currency and sure enough it is.

That’s not too bad of a performance I thought in terms of generating an income with the fact that I just kind of stuck the widget on the blog without too much planning. However, I’ve decided to remove the widget at the moment as I noticed it was taking a very long time to load up which created an enormous load time on the blog. Hopefully they will fix that up though as for me the performance hit was a bit too much.

That’s not to discourage anyone else from trying it if you think it will work for your site. As I mentioned before, I thought the Widget Bucks program would work best on a more tech oriented site. I’m currently experimenting with another program that should be launching soon, so we’ll see how that works out. Journey scorecard is as follows thus far:

Stock Investment: $800
Blog Web Publishing: $285.79
Million Dollar Term: $100

Total: $1185.79
