Today I Earned My First Penny
Today is a golden day for me. I should though actually restate that and say, today is a copper day for me. I earned myself my first penny thanks to HubPages.com.
I have been a part of this site for a little over a week now, and honestly I didn't think I'd even earn a red cent.
Day after day I have been checking my google adsense earnings, and day after day I'd have a lot of decent clicks, but as far as earnings went, I always had a 0.00 balance.
Today though, I got my first penny. Now if I can earn a penny every week, I'll be up 4 cents a month. I figure though the more content I put out there, the better my chances will be for earning 2 cents a week.
For some earning a penny in one week is a waste of time, but for me, my goal is to try and get it up to at least $1 a day by the end of April. It's wishful thinking but not untouchable. hehe.
Anyhow, google won't let me cash out on my cent yet, but I still like looking at it in there. In fact, I looked at it twice today. When I'm finished with this piece, I'm going to look at it again.
Try not to be jealous everyone, of my penny that is. I cannot buy much with it, but still the penny brought me some pride, so it's all good in my book.
I know that some of us wouldn't even bend over for a penny on the sidewalk, but there is something so much more magical about a penny when it's tallied up in an online account. haha.
Anyhow, that's all I got going on for today. It took me a few days, but low and behold I earned me some money.

There is something magical about that first earning from HubPages. I don't care if it's 1 cent or even TWENTY cents, it's equally exciting.
I have to say, though, it's even MORE exciting when you make your first dime from your Amazon affiliate!
lol. I did manage to get 1 click on my amazon account, but so far no earnings. The 1 click though is still pretty spectacular to see. hehe.
congratulations good start for money making carrer
and don't forget there is a special message to everyone on a penny.
Everytime I see a penny I pick it up just to read the message. Of course then the penny goes in my change box which gets chashed in at the end of the year. Sometimes I have three or four hundred dollars worth.
I've been on hubpages since last July, and still haven't made my first ten dollars. Sigh!
I just hope to one day be able to buy a six pack of beer.
lol. amanda, are you close though? like 9.99? I'll give you my penny so you can cash out? hehe.
Good for your mella! As for me I stop myself from going to my adsense account to allow for a surprise - but alas, the flesh is willing but the spirit is week! So I always end up checking every two days or so! Good news is, I'm earning - though not something I can brag about but yep i've got me some money for doing something I really really like :D
Thanks for the offer, Mella, but I'm still short by over a dollar. I think I need to write something more product driven, but I keep getting drawn back to art, and other more 'niche', but totally revenue free subjects(LOL). I think you have to be quite focussed to make any serious money here, but it's a lot of fun, and there's some great people on the hubs.
I've never even checked the adsense account. In fact, do I even have that? Laugh!
Funny piece, MellasViews, thanks for the chuckles!
don't spend it all at once!
Congrats - I save my pennies and use them to pay my personal property taxes. Nothing like a few socks (yes, I carry them in a few pairs of big black socks - they hate that).
That tax alone should be worth a new hub... hmmm
