		<title>eHow blogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently averaging about $0.15/day from my articles on eHow.  A friend on eHow, Rob Farmer, just started a blog eHow Internet Income and he&#8217;s making $1.00 &#8211; $1.50 on average per day and he has only a couple more articles than me.
We&#8217;re actually doing much the same things.  Writing ehow article as well as [...]]]></description>

		<title>A review of 2009 for Driftless Ramblings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t do too much to advance the exposure of Driftless Ramblings.  I did a little bit with adding to my microstock photography portfolios but not really consistently like I had hoped.  My portfolios have been earning slowly but making payouts are still pretty elusive.  I got two in 2009, one from Fotolia and one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Started writing for eHow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Besides my microstock portfolios I&#8217;m always experimenting with other options to make money on the Internet.  A very likely candidate to assist in this writing for eHow.  And they only have a $10 payout as opposed to the $50 &#8211; $100 for the microstock sites.  My current goal is to get 30 articles up by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Got first &amp; second payouts for microstock!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took a lot longer than I care to admit but I finally got my first payouts from Fotolia &#38; Shutterstock.  Both were at their minimums, but it is still an accomplishment.  Earnings are still way down as I&#8217;m not contributing very aggressively.  I have submitted a couple batches to Shutterstock just to have most [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not adding much to microstock right now</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can see from my lack of posts on my earnings lately, I&#8217;ve not been focused on microstock right now.  Still getting a couple downloads, actually approaching the first payout on a site or two.  Still want to get back to doing some shooting and uploading, just haven&#8217;t had the time lately.

		<title>June 2009 Microstock Earnings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I made a little money in June, but it wasn&#8217;t much so I haven&#8217;t even bothered pulling them together.  I am finally uploading some again so hopefully I&#8217;ll have some approved and get things rolling again.

		<title>Microstock Earnings May 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose I&#8217;m taking a slight risk posting this before the actual end of the month, but I&#8217;m willing to take that chance.  I&#8217;ll update the post if I actually get a Sunday download.
It&#8217;s now been two months since I&#8217;ve done any uploading of images.  I&#8217;m actually really getting the itch to get back to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did not get many pictures uploaded this month.  My earnings were actually better this month with some activity finally picking up at IStockPhoto.  I&#8217;m actually starting to get close to a pay out on a couple of the sites.  It&#8217;s only taken me about two years.
