I got my second payout from Adsense!

About $103, and I earned it in a span of 3-4 months I believe which is just a quarter of the time I was able to spend in order to come up with this amount compared to my first adsense payout.

Still, this is already big enough an amount considering that I only have personal blogs to help me out that doesn’t have that much high traffic. I’m still glad that I was able to withdraw some money through Western Union because of this.

To find out how I was able to withdraw it, you can check out my first adsense withrawal by clicking on this link.

Adsense Withdrawal Thru Western Union

I just realized that it’s already been a year since I started blogging back again to earn money and now that I found this out, I have to give a recap on the past year on how much in total I’ve earned through the different programs I’ve signed my website and then some other sites out.

These are my earnings during the year using soloflighted.com

These are my earnings in dollars for my site and then some.

In totality for the year, here’re my earnings.

I’m actually in a total shock that I’ve earned that much in a span of a year. But I’m equally in shock in locating where this amount has gone off. hehe. Of course, there are bills and other expenses. But I’m happy cause I didn’t expect this much to come to me.

I have 4 blogs to maintain, two have their own domain and two are free blogger accounts. I don’t earn as much in those blogger accounts but the domains are really vital.

For now, I’m planning to get another domain. hehe.

Last 23 of October, I checked my adsense account to see if I could withdraw my money already. Fortunately, there was a difference when I went to the My Accounts>Payment History. I clicked on ‘details” and it tells me that I can now get my payment!

Yey! hehe. After almost a year, I’m finally going to get my First Google Adsense Payout! I know I know, one year for $115 is not that big of a money compared to other people who earn a lot more in just a month. But still, for a personal blogger like me, and with the inflation rate fluctuating rapidly, I’m glad enough to be getting this amount. I just need to convert the money to my country’s currency and then voila! Quarterly bonus! hehe.

So now as I was looking for some information online on how to get this money, I was able to find out that it’s pretty much easy to get my payout using the Western Union Quick Cash option.

They have a note saying.

Your payment is available for pick-up the day after the payment date above

Remember to bring the following when you pick up your payment at a local Western Union agent:

* The amount of your payment
* The Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) for this payment
* Your government issued ID (Passport, Driver’s License, National ID, etc)
* Sender’s information:
Google Inc.
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
Mountain View, CA 94043
USA

So what I need to do is just follow these rules and then I’ll be getting my 115 bucks. I promised some people that I’ll be treating them once this payout arrives. I’ll blog about what happened next.

3rd payout! Yey! I got my 3rd payout which is comprised of paid reviews from last week of May to first two weeks of August 2008. Again, this isn’t much to professional bloggers but I do this as a sideline so it’s nice that almost every now and then, I get a bonus from earning online money.

These were earned under my personal/travel blog: Soloflighted.com plus some extra tasks from my admin for her site. I also have earned some money through another personal weblog I created but I’m not using the moolah any time soon.

I’ll be getting the money from my Admin later on tonight and I’m planning to just save this bunch so I can pay it off for school.

I’m on a high already.

Since my first pay out, I haven’t been earning as much. Nevertheless, I’m planning to save the money that I’ve earned until it would reach at least 10, 000 pesos. That’s what the admin and I agreed on so I could also put the extra cash to good use; since last pay out, I don’t know what I did with it anymore.

The reason why I started out earning money through blogging is that I wanted to pay off old debts and fulfill some ambitions that require moolah to do so. It turns out that I’m not earning as much with my day job, so I figured I’d find other means to earn extra cash. Hence, blogging came to place.

Anyway, like I said, I need to save up for schooling. I plan to go back so I can finally get a degree. I still have a lot of semesters to finish.

For the month of April, I just earned about half of my first pay out. It’s not much but I always think that this is extra income already which is good enough to pay for electricity and the internet connection itself.

So, I’m looking forward to the time I’ll be able to get the money in bulk. But for now, I try not to focus much on it so it’ll be a surprise by then.

I just got my first payout for the month of April from the admin. $110, not bad for somebody who’s just starting out. Not some mba programs could give me this money in such a short span.

I received the fruits of my labor 5 days ago and it feels so good knowing that I earned something this big for a craft which is already a part of me.

I even created an Excel format (just basic computations) to keep track of what I’ve posted and which tasks I’ve published.

I’m just so high right now, knowing that I finally generated some income out of blogging. I’m not one of those skeptical people who thinks that earning online is such a big joke, but neither did I really believe I could earn some dough out of it, until now.
