   I know, big deal; but it is to me.
   This is the first time I've earned over $1 for my hubs - whoop, whoop!!

         The amount you earn on the HP Ad Program is calculated daily.  So, you earn daily.  The Ad Program is based on CPM, which means that it is based on so much money per 1,000 views.  If you only have 100 views per day, you will still earn a prorated portion. The CPM varies widely and daily, because it depends upon what advertisers are willing to pay for the subjects you write about. It could be $2 per thousand views or $12.  In addition, you earn money for affiliates such as Amazon, eBay and others you might choose.  Amazon and eBay pay only when someone buys something.

   Thanks for all the encouraging words, everyone. I landed up making 3 whole dollars in October! Yeppers - $3!
   
   Oddly my hubs have suddenly taken off in the past month and are getting loads of views. Weird that it's all of a sudden, but I did read on the forum that, for some reason, October seems to be a good month on HubPages.
   
   Good luck to everyone else and thanks again for the responses!

   Yes, I did! 
   
   When I saw my first 0.10 after a few days of being approved for adsense I even did a victory dance. Now I have a little more than USD 1.00 in my account.
   
   It feels good to know this may work, even if it takes a very long term to actually earn a decent amount.

    A big congrats!
    These milestones, whether big or small, keep us motivated that someone is reading our words.
    For some that is all that matters, and for some (like me), it is that someone is reading, and that I'm making a bit of income
    Keep it up!

    Yes, $1 a day is yummy good money!
    
    Sounds like some folks have been experiencing an upswing in views.  Mine have doubled over last month during this last week. I was not sure if it was due to a few Editors Choice additions on my account or just a general trend. 
    
    How are everyone's overall views doing? When things were off in August everyone was very vocal.  I don't hear the complaints anymore.

       Not quite on $1 per day, but so far this month I have made $2.50.
       There has definitely been an increase in views of my hubs over the past month. One hub has been viewed 1000 times. So odd, compared to July/August's views.

    That's definitely exciting!
    I haven't even come close to getting a payout yet. I have earned somewhere in the neighbourhood of $1.75, but that's a culmination of about 8 months worth of earnings. lol. I would be over the moon if one of my hubs earned me a big ol' loonie. lol.  I posted a hub about two days ago and it made me a whole nickel richer in about 24 hrs. I told me husband "My hub earned a nickel in the last 24 hours!" And he just blinked at me. Lol. He doesn't get it quite the way everyone on here seems to.
    
    Keep plugging away everyone!
