    Well Greek One, they do say that creative genius is never recognised in life - so the day on which we are all weeping as we tenderly lay your body into your marble tomb is probably the day that you get 150 clicks and your account earns a $1,000 a day from then on.

    I just happened to check and saw that my HP Adsense is at $103.71 today.
    
    I don't have to wait for a payout as that money is combined with my other sites earnings and is always more than needed, but if this were my only source, I would have just reached it.
    
    It took 8 months. I do little outside promotion except Facebook and Twitter, and do not use keyword research (not that I don't think you should; I'm simply too lazy).
    
    Of course I do have a lot of hubs. Most of them get very little traffic at this point and some (about 10%) have had nothing in the past 30 days.   Total overall traffic since I started is still under 40,000 views.
    
    My point is just that I do everything "wrong" and still make a little money. I make the same errors at my main site, though that's both much older and larger, so I make much more.
    
    It is possible to just write and make money. The monthly HP earnings have been steadily increasing, though they are a little flat for January.
    
    Now imagine what someone could do if they wrote well researched hubs on good keyword choices and promoted them well..
