Hey, guess what? I actually made money! After 11 months I noticed yesterday I actually made 44 cents. So it ain't alot. Who cares. I ain't doin' this to get rich anyway. I'm just tickled someone or a number of someones actually click on something or other. Who cares! 44 cents. I love this stuff.
That's great, a whole 44 cents. I'm with you, I write because I love it. I never even signed up for Ad Sense. Am I missing something?
Not in my book. Oh, I'm sure you could make extra bucks but the writing's the thing for me. I signed up for adsense originally but they kicked me out the first week and I've yet to find out why. Don't really care to tell ya the truth. Hey, that's 44 cents I didn't have yesterday.
I didn't sign up for a while either! But what have you got to lose? You may be throwing away a few hundred a month, you never know!
True, true but.....I doubt they're gonna let me back in unless I figure out why I was cast out in the first place. I've asked. I wasn't answered.
You can email them again, Congrats BTW tobey!
My thinking is if the ads. are going to be on the page you might as well get paid for them. Even if it adds up slowly at first with time it gains momentum; yes go for it.
I'd take it to Vegas and put it on red...That's when the real bucks start flowing in.
I would offer the same advice...email them and once again get signed up. As excited as you are over that 44 cents...just imagine when it turns into dollars and then even more dollars! Go for it and best wishes.
Every little bit helps ... Lao-Tzu, once said that the journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step. Thanks for sharing those first steps with us ... keep going!
Congratulations! Every cent counts...Take care of the cents and the dollars will take care of themselves:)
Congratulation Tobey100, I am gradually approaching my first payout after one year. Just be patient and keep writing and keep in mind, the more hubs you have the faster the adsense clicks will accumulate.
Congrats
Once you start earning online, it get's easier and easier.
well done mate - always a relief to get the fist $ in the bag!
(nice hubs by the way!)
Wow, well done, and guess what, it just keeps adding up each day. Just sit back and watch it grow. (Oh, and writing more hubs does help).

Lots of Hubbers signed up over there a while back...Are you seeing good results?I'm finding that the pictures are getting all the attention, not the documents and links.What's worse- I put up some images as a joke and people are complimenting my photography skills... I don't really have the heart...

Do you know who you signed up under, if anyone, when you first joined Hubpages?Since people can earn money by referrals, as a point of interest, is there a way to find out who we signed up under? If you know the person, have they assisted you in any way?

I've had a few people sign up under my trackers when I send out emails of my hubs, but I was wondering what some of the rest of you have done as far as setting up a more unique way to have friends and family sign up here at hubpages? For some strange reason I don't think my profile link for sign...
