September 2022

It has been a busy start to September 2022. Some of the things I have been doing, include:

• Corrected the problems with my Instagram demos, see here and here.
• Corrected an issue with the Zillow Zestimate API demo.
• Filmed cooking videos for my Youtube channel. I have a lot of editing to do on the videos.
• Began working on a new tool using the Youtube API that provides earnings for specified Youtube channels.
• Researched Youtube Vloggers.
• Completed 1.5 hours of real estate continuing education (Fair Housing) for my license renewal in April 2024.
• Researching ways to make money online. Wanted to understand whether surveys were a viable source of income. Made about $20.00 in a little over a week, however given my other time constraints, feel it is more of a burden than I can handle. That said, one can earn money online, doing surveys.
• Went to the markets (Costco, Safeway, Food Lion) on separate days.
• Finished a book I borrowed from the library, "Cry of the Halidon" by Robert Ludlum. Thought I had read everything he had ever written.
• The $10,000 five year CD with my business bank matured, so closed it out and opened a new CD with another of my banks. The rate of 3.50% APY on a five year term CD was too hard to pass up at the other bank. My business and personal banks are large institutions with many branches. For most things like opening or closing accounts I have to make an appointment at one of the branches. My online banks do not have branches, however I love the fact I can open a new account without leaving home.
• Noticed tributes for Serena.
• Watching some of the many tributes for the Queen of England.
