Question: I'm registered as self employed and I now want to start a blog where I can use adverts and amazon to make a little extra cash. Now I know that I have to record anything I earn as an income but I have no idea how or when to record the details.

As all the things that I'm planning on using are online based and have a "minimum payout" I'm unsure of exactly when to class it as an income - Do I only record what I transfer to my bank account or the actual affiliate balance?

Also, how often do I record my income? I mean it's not too bad when you earn by the product sold but with Google Adsense and similar things you have a daily income based on number of visits so do you keep a daily record or is weekly or even monthly OK?

Does anyone here have experience with this or are there any online resourses to help with these questions?

Answer: 
I use xoom.com to transfer money to India. I've been using them for over 2 years now, they are the fastest and the cheapest for me (the funds are usually available the same day). They seem to have added a lot of European countries to their list.
Definitely worth a shot.
Atm machine and my Credit Union account. Low fees (often zero, if the machine is on any of the same networks) and decent exchange rate, and no need to carry cash or traveler's checks to be exchanged.

Alternatively, pay by credit card, though there is a foreign transaction fee on that.
