A very insterested and new reader of my blog texted me this afternoon asking how I got started with my blogging fame and Adsense. I have no clue about the fame part but we chatted over SMS while I was waiting in line at the bank to deposit my StudioTraffic and AdSense cheque.
Our conversation mostly revolved around blogging and how to find your own niche. Then, when he asked about the Adsense part which caught me thinking a little bit more than just saying I signed up and pasted the codes in all my web properties.
I was actually thinking of that “$100 Moment“. Yes, almost anyone can sign up for AdSense and all but not everyone will succeed in it. Hence, the term “one-hundred-dollar-moment”. It is that time when you yourself realized that AdSense is really something, not because you heard it from someone else but because you got your cheque for only a whole month’s earnings. That means breaking the $100-barrier on monthly AdSense revenues. I would look at it as a rite of passage into the AdSense world.
Why a $100-dollar blogging moment? From my conversations with Filipino bloggers who are monetizing their blogs with Adsense, I can only count with the fingers of my hands those who are getting them monthly cheques (just bloggers mind you, don’t include those with other web properties such as free online services like forums, galleries and portals). This brings us to the realization that there are types of blogs, however popular or sticky they are, that are still hard-pressed when it comes to monetization via AdSense. Is it just the implementation? Partly, yes. But that’s one of the many other factors to consider which we will discuss in my succeeding posts.
So, when did you had your “One-hundred-dollar Blogging Moment?”
haha hindi pa nakaabot dyan… weheh

Alright let’s have those ten or less people comment!
Me, I just had my half-$100 moment. Just broke $50! But, I don’t think it will go much higher with my content. Need to build apps that will summon the ads.

Just had my $100 moment a few minutes ago. Just in time for the November cut-off.
