When I first started to incorporate Google Adsense into my blog some 1 year and 7 months ago, I knew I was in for a long shot to make some money out of it. But my mindset back then was, so what? Let’s just leave them there and over time, who knows, I might just get some earnings.
I didn’t bother to learn much about how to maximise the earnings until I reached my first $100 after mnay, many months and I very happily made my first Adsense withdrawal via Western Union. Needless to say, I was elated and encouraged. That was back in March this year.
In the months that followed, I worked harder and every month was an improvement over the last with more earnings streaming in. From earning about $60 a month, I went on to make $80 a month and then $90 a month. The increased earnings each month was gradual and I was thankful and grateful enough that each passing month was better than the one before.
Finally, for the month of July I made $100 a month. Again I am elated and even more encouraged to work harder to earn even more than that. I will aim higher and I’ll set a timeframe and target to earn $200 a month. I now believe it’s do-able, it’s just a matter of working on it.
It has taken me quite a long while, I would say, to make $100 a month. It’s been 1 year and 7 months for me to reach here. I don’t want to take another 1 year to make $200 a month. Any Adsense expert out there can share some tips on how to make money with Adsense?

hi penny…
I just enrolled myself a couple of months back, and received the Google mail yesterday to activate my account for payment… Im well excited, and like you, I am determined to work hard to get extra earnings via www….:)
And I have to say, I am a true follower of your blogs, I love reading them, and Im that proud of you that I had to share your blog links with my work mates and family! (Ofcourse I had to add we go waaaaay back)….hahahaha
Hey Eve, you’re the sweetest! *Hugs* I do wish you the best of “clicks” in your Adsense too. Let’s exchange notes on how to make the best of it!
I think that Adsense is not the key to success, yes it’s profitable but it’s the easiest thing that ALL people do. I think you should try other stuff like affiliate marketing or you just need more sites for adsense, like 30-40 to have a decent income.
You’re right, Adsense doesn’t make mega bucks for everyone. Not unless you’re a Pro-blogger who’s got a niche blog. Affiliate marketing is also not necessarily a hit with everyone. Gotta be start and have the right target audience to your blog for you to make it. Thanks for sharing and discussing
You did well on AdSense ad placement. Focus on getting more traffic. Then your earning will be even better.
By the way, you try to add CPM ads like ADSDAQ and Innity. In-Text ad like Infolinks. They all bring quite some revenue to me.
