Although I have been here for a while I have not worked very hard on this site. Instead, I have been having a blast here on Hubpages. Making the first $100.00 seems like a bonus somehow as I enjoy writing my articles anyway.
I have learned much about how to increase my traffic but again, I do not work too hard at it. I have several other means of income so I guess that has something to do with it.
Just thought I would post this for the other members who do not wish to destroy their joy of writing. There's no reason one can't have fun and make a few bucks at the same time, is there?
YAY, double bonus for you, keep on writing and enjoying the fruits of having fun at the same time! cheers....
Thanks PDH, it is indeed a double bonus!
Getting paid for something you enjoy doing is not a common thing. A few people get a chance to enjoy this.
Well done!
I am double lucky Ultimate Hubber. Since I run a small farm I can enjoy the outdoors and plenty of hunting and fishing. Plus, some days I rarely see a human being at all! I am indeed a lucky person.
Awesomeness Randy! Gives me hope that someday soon I too will reach my first payout.
True, Kidgas! I think many expect to much too soon and I agrre with "Patience is a virtue."
Congrats Randy, Cheers for many more. Got mine this month the cheque and it is indeed the real deal.
Congrats! I hope to be in the same spot some time in the future.

I joined HubPages 3 years ago but my last article was a little over an year ago, so imagine my surprise when I received mail from Paypal a few days ago about my first payment from HubPages!I really love this site and I want to continue writing, but I just can't seem to get the inspiration, and life...

I just received an email from Paypal saying I had received a payment from Hub Pages. I have been in AdSense for 10 months and finally reached my first payout...happy days! Now, I am looking forward to my next and see if I can make it happen sooner.

It really does take off. I got my first adsense payout at the end of June, and I've just hit the £60 mark for July, so another payout this month.That's not all hubs, because I set up my own blog a month ago, but hubs is most of it.

After 9 months on HP, I got that email we all anxiously wait for: I made my first payout and it was sent to Paypal. Woohoo!! Yesss! After a lot of stress, hard work, 43 hubs, and 30,300+ views, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, I have a ways to go but this milestone calls for a celebration....
