One things that has bothered me about YPN is that they are very slow to report the previous day’s earnings in performance reports. I often want to check my balance for the day before I turn in, which is often just after midnight Pacific Time, and it never has the figures for yesterday’s revenue at that point. Today I realized that there is an easy way to calculate the previous day’s earnings.

First, note the “pending balance”, which is equal to the previous month’s earnings plus the earnings accumulated so far this month. Then run a performance report with a date range that include the previous month up to the current day. Subtract the “Report Totals” figure from the “pending balance” and you end up with yesterday’s revenue.

For example, today is August 3rd just after midnight Pacific Time. Let’s say my pending balance shows $500.00 (not the real figure). I run a report with a date range of July 1st to August 2nd. The report does not show August 2nd’s revenue and the total shows $450.00. I now subtract $450.00 from $500.00 and I know that I have earned $50.00 for August 2nd.

Now I can go to bed satisfied that I know how much I earned from YPN the day before.
