Got my First Google Adsense Payout Today

by Glady on March 31, 2009

google-adsenseMy Adsense Story continues here. I finally got my first Adsense payout of $112.75 today. It’s a very small amount compared to what other bloggers earn and it took me 14 months to earn it while others did it for just a few months. But hey, I’m not complaining, times are tough so every cent counts.

I asked  my co-worker friend May to accompany me to the nearest Western Union since I was quite nervous. I had some bloopers since when I started filling out the form I realized I left my Adsense payment details at the office. Despite the glaring heat of the sun, we have to come back and get it.

On our return, May brought her camera so she can take a picture of me while claiming my money. But then, both of us were kinda shy. And we’re quite conspicuous since we were there for the second time. We joked that since they can see us through the CCTV, they would think our actions were quite dubious and somebody may just come in and handcuff us. We were exaggerating of course. Just for laughs.

I was just happy to share my blessings with my co-workers so I treated them with some chips and softdrinks.

To add insult to injury, our messenger jokingly asked,

Ngaa indi pizza day? (Why didn’t we have pizza instead?)

I told him,

‘Ok, I’ll buy you pizza tomorrow. Pizza-flavored Chippy.

Again, it’s the financial crisis. Beggars can’t be choosers. I’ll have to make double efforts with my rakets so that I can treat them to a real pizza next time.
