Know just what you mean. I've had months where I've needed say 81 cents to make payout on the last day. And I haven't made it until 11 pm that night. Luckily I'm ahead of that pace now and make payout pretty early in the month.
Yep, I feel you man. I'm a definite lover of consistency, and adsense revenue is anything but consistent, especially when you just need that extra little push.
It was flying all month, then stopped dead for two days with less than a dollar left. Finally got over it, but it was just funny.
I remember those days. Hell I remember openly cheering for the amount to go over 100.
Luckily now like Nelle I am past that and 100 isnt a problem these days but trust me it took a lot of work to get it to that point.
keep up the great work
Cheers
Agreed, the first one took forever, 10 months. Now it has gotten much better.
Then again, so has my writing, keywords and overall approach. The two go hand in hand.
Yes especailly if you continue to watch your adsense. I have to make myself busy so I won't obsess about it! Happy though.. Got my adsense payout direct deposited this morning! yea some shopping money!
yeah Bg, thats the anxiety. its gonna come through. I remember when I needed that adsense money and just 3 dollars to payout was like 3 years for me. I had to calm down and leave it to flow naturally. Well, nice one Nelle Hoxie. you gotta mentor me. I need your mentorship. Can I apply?
I have quite a bit sat in my Adsense account. Because I messed up with some details and Google quite rightly wouldn't release anything until I delivered what they had to nag me for.
I will have a nice Christmas on it.
And I suppose a watched pot never boils. Stop staring at your account. I once made almost $50 in one day.. True story.
Therefore you never know
50 dollars in one day? Amazing! Maybe this weekend will give us a chance at that!
Yes, it takes so long that I end up not bothering to check the latest figures because it is so frustrating!
oh I have a 10.02 dollar LOL, I just checked it now...my sister told me she can give me the amount so that I dont spend time bothering to write and earn, well, I am just starting here in HP, and I will prove to them that I will earn, I started it already and I like to write and share too!
I'm in a very similar boat as you. However, I find writing hubs not just as a potential income avenue, but also pretty entertaining. I always think when I am writing "would I be doing something productive if I wasn't making a hub?" The answer is almost always no.

How long did it take before you started earning $50 to $100 a month on Hubpages?I try not to think all too much about the earning part on Hubpages since I'm still new here (4 months), but when you're earning literally NO money at all... It's still a bit discouraging.

I have been getting an Adsense payment for years but it still makes me happy to receive one.

I'm so close to a payout, finally - after almost 2 years. I realize I haven't had one sooner becuz I haven't done all of the things that earn us money here on HP. I started out not caring if I made money, I was writing for fun. But now that I'm so close I find myself checking in...

Hi everyone. I've been putting some work in writing quality articles the last few months, all my articles are approved as featured but earnings are still pretty low. I have earned a total of $1+ in two months, and with that speed it will take years to reach checkout. I have both Hubpages and...

I am looking for sites that payout when you reach payout or a site that pays every month besides factoidz they keep losing my articles its quite frustrating. Having an adsense account is great but it takes so long to reach payout and truly I need some encouragement even if it takes a month to...

And today it's $16.68. How did that happen?I made payout recently, and I got the check last week. I was thinking I might make payout again this month, with a forty-one dollar total. But now it's clear I won't. How did my earnings since last payout get so drastically reduced overnight?
