Welcome back!

Last week I broke an important milestone. I reached the $100 mark in Google Adsense revenue. What does this mean? Well, it means I will actually get paid this month.

$100 is not much to shake a stick at, but I’m quite proud. It represents months of hard work in writing content and setting up various websites. I’ve learned quite a bit and learned what attracts the most converting traffic. All the sites I set up now have good pageranks (including this one), generate a good amount of traffic and are now paying their way.

Many say that the first $100 is the hardest to earn and after that, revenue picks up since your sites are now more established and generating more traffic. It’s the gardening method of blogging; plant a lot of seeds and watch them grow. They’re growing well and hopefully, this time next year I’ll be generating a couple hundred dollars a month in revenue.

Blogging was never about ‘getting rich quickly’ for me. It was about creating supplemental income and honing my web development skills. Everything I’ve done up to now, helped me get my current job which is the best job I could possibly ask for. So, it’s worth continuing with the efforts.

Thanks for all your support and ad clicks! Please don’t hesitate to keep clicking!

What will I do with the money?

Put it away for my trip to England in the Spring.
