Getting Your First Google cheque is not difficult at all.
Posted in: Blogging, adsense, money making ideasFirst of all I must apologize for not writing enough or be activated in social networks as I used to be. I have had some personal issues to be dealt with so didn’t have much time to put in to this blog. Things are great now and “antharjalaya” is back on track and will be better than ever.
Thank you for the 81 concerning emails I received from readers while I was going through the bad patch. Well, I replied to all of them personally before writing this post and I am glad that at least 81 people have a genuine interest about the work I do. ( Monthly visitor count reads 8000-15000)
I have seen lot of sri lankans have created sites targeting Google adsense recently. I have to admit, it is nice to see so many people are getting encouraged and have actually started putting some instructions in to action.
Many have emailed me with their sites to have a look and get my opinion. Sorry to disappoint most of you, honestly, I don’t think even 25 % of these sites will ever meet the Google’s minimum payout of $100.
First of all, it is not 1990’s when almost all the web sites had the potential to make some money. Times have changed now. If you are still using 10-15 year old tricks to earn your next buck, chances are , you will not make any.
Now days you cannot cheat people to click ads. They can very well differentiate advertisements from actual content. If you are still using “Joel Comm’s adsense secretes guide” it is high time you realize that those were written for a different internet Era. But that is a great guide if you are looking for basic adsense knowledge. Just by pasting some PLR articles and putting up ad sense units will not bring you anything. So you have to act smart.
Create a web site for a niche which you have a genuine interest about. You can start from there and then move on with new sites. At the beginning of this post I have posted a Google cheque received by my girl friend recently.
She works full time at an investment company and still reading for her BBA . So the time available for her is very limited. That is why I asked her to build a site covering a niche which she loves. It is not much, but the important thing is she managed to receive the Google cheque in the first month it self. This month, things are going even better. That is the beauty of engage in something you love.
If you are writing about credit cards, boring financial articles , or anything just because the key words pays well and if the web site is nothing but some articles copied from article sites, how are you going to expect that people will come and click your ads? They can smell when you are trying to cheat them for a buck or too.
So try to give some value to the readers. And create a web site which you can show around proudly. If you can appreciate the work you do, other people will do the same. They may or may not click your ads. But there is something called good karma. If you have put in enough hard work for the project you are bound to get a pay back. In this case, a nice cheque from Google.

First time i have seen a Google cheque even as a picture. Very inspiring. Should start learning this.
Most important things for us, as your reader, is how you share tips and tricks :D
Very inspiring read. My Adsense account has reached almost 200$, but I still have to request my first payment…I want it to be HUGE (I’m aiming at at least 1000$ payout)! :)
@emule,
With adsense i do not think that you have to make a withdrwal request.
You have a good article. How you can get information about it. Please give me some clue
I have been using adsense for almost an year now. 3 of my account got banned when it was about to reach 100 USD. I was not willing to give up and this is my 4th. It crossed 100 and I withdrawn. Please don’t wait to do it when u cross 100, we don’t know when they are gona block it.. We can earn good using this and I am making for my lunch using these blogs
@ markcijo
May be u don’t have a clear understanding about how adsense works. You never have to ask for a withdrawal..if you are eligible for a payment they will be sending it.
Congrats to all of you..Your adsense is earning more.. Until now my adsense is $0.. can you give me some tips to improve my adsense?
Great read. I love when people post their checks. It’s great motivation for me.
@ cheap,
Read some of the adsense articles posted here.
@ Mike Johnson,
You will be more happy when you see your own cheques :-)
I have to say that I have heard of people getting paid from Google but I was just always setting back wondering if they were telling the truth or not. Your check has gave me inspiration that it does pay off to use adverts and such to bring in a bit of extra income home. So how are you doing still with this are you finding it easier to keep bringing checks of that size home? To me big or little every cent counts! Thanks for boosting up my spirits!
Really good post & i inspire me to start one blog & start adsene… :)
really inspire me, thanks for tips
I agree with you with regards to providing information that will make your readers read and come back for more. Surfers are wiser now and we should provide things that they deserve. Actually you can see if you have an information that does not appeal to readers and that is through Google Analytics. One indicator is: higher bounce rate means that your content has lower readability and less visitor staying power.
Best advise in there: “So try to give some value to the readers”. When you actually contribute content of some value, everything changes. Which is why it’s best to stay within products/niches that you actually know about–so you can truly contribute something new. Well written…
@ blogging 4 dollars
This is the whole purpose of this site. To inspire people. I am glad I could boost your confidence.
@ Felix and Shimano Fishing
This is something I really believe in. Thanks for the well said comments :-)
Heyy.. Nice blog. First time I visit here and have great time to read all the post. Thanks for the sharing your knowledge.
Congrats on the check! You have to start somewhere, and you are on the right path. Let us know how things progress!
I didn’t even know Google issued cheques for online advertising, that’s like a proper pay and much nicer than transferring straight to your paypal account. Most of the advise I have read lately seems to say to target niche markets is that because of the amount of competition already around for the bigger keywords.
Glad you’re back in action.
Adsense is still a valid form of monetization–if you are driving enough traffic to the sites about the right topics. And those monthly checks are always a welcome sight, right?
Thank you, posting this very useful one. This article is in my search. Very useful your article once. Thanks
Thanks you for sharing it with us your experience.
Congratulations, Its really inspiring and that kicks my butt to start putting more efforts into Google’s opportunities. Thanks for sharing. keep it up at least..
Thank you all for the well wishes and nice comments. If you run adsense in your sites, I wish you all will be able to get a handsome cheque at the end of every month. For this month I just passed the $300 mark for the first time. :D
I suppose to receive my Google check before two and half month but still I have not received it. Though I asked for a re-issue other than a automated reply nothing else is there…
Google has gone nut and became arrogant with itz monopoly movement.
@ Mayooresan
This is the first time I hear something like this. Have you received Google cheques prior to this or is this your first time?
Good point on the Adsense. I’m not a guru by any means, but even messing around and without a good grasp of SEO, it only took me three months to get a check from Google, and that was before I knew anything, or even made that many sites. Good post, and thanks for sharing!
I use Google Ad sense but not expert. Informative site, I am visiting your site first time.
I recently got my 1st Google check at the end of January too, and I am working on my second one. Congratulations!
Absolutely agreed with the post, Now a days people can’t cheat Google as they became more aggressive and they are banning many accounts. It’s really became very difficult to get the clicks unless optimize it properly. When i start initially it takes almost 4months to get first cheque but when i get it i really felt very happy.
Congratulations for getting your first cheque, continue the same way and you can earn more but never try to cheat Google.

Congrats! on your first and many more checks from the adsense world of making money. Keep it up.
Congratulations! This is very inspiring, I started my adsense hope to receive google cheque soon..
I just got my 1st Google check at the end of January too, and I am working on my second one. Congratulations!
In Indonesia, Google Adsense support Western Union.
congrats eranda! but why you hide the amount in numbers when one can read the amount in words :P
I know I know its 103.77 dollars
hehe
I beg to differ that your first Google AdSense Check is easy to get. I spend months and months developing blogs and websites and get paid maybe 1-2 times a year. The $100 threshold is hard to reach, but with hard work and dedication it can be done. Great Blog! Keep up the good work.
Congratulations! This is very inspiring to me . .
@ Digital Mastering ,
I have not hide the amount in numbers. It is clearly visible in the right hand corner :D
Well,that’s really inspiring:
But to point out, you have to put your heart on your site, so readers will feel how you have put your knowledge on it.
Don’t just blog for money, blog for your readers, and so readers in the end will gave you the “check” above!
I don’t know who are you but whoever are you, really a great you are!As i read this blog it is really fantastic to read and onei sentence i like about this blog is that “They may or may not click your ads. But there is something called good karma” Good Karma-It means to do a good work or action. Any way i request you to update this blog on daily basis and have some interesting topic to learn.
No need to apologize for your absence brother. Everything you post is free, useful and of good quality. Very helpful to a noob like me. Keep up the fine work.
Enthusiastic about participating Gaining more self-confidence
Congrats! Earning the first 100 dollars check from Google is no easy task. Micro-niching or sub-niching is the way to go. However, not all niches are profitable. Finding the right niche with traffic and least competition is the key. Can’t wait to see my first check from Google :)
getting a paycheck from google adsense is considered a blessing. It is really bad to cheat on it. Patience is the key to that. Inspiring blog you have there.
Ah, how I yearn for the good old days of 2005 when you could slap up a site in a few minutes and be making $5-10 bucks per day within a few weeks. I was making $60-70 a day with some lame ass directory generator sites back then. It was incredibly easy but not so easy now. I have really good sites now and I’m still only back to about $15-20 a day. Traffic is the key, but even with good traffic, people don’t seem to click on ads like they used to. Best not to put all your eggs in one basket on this one.
No need to apologize i think everyone understand what your reason..the important thing is you back on the line.. :)
Keep on posting good post and tips.. :)
On the cheque I haven’t yet receive any from google, i still use the Paypal..
Making money fast is what we are all looking for and Google adsense is a very popular online business strategy. I get confused easily though since everyone has a different opinion of it. A well researched article like this helps a LOT :)
Good post..I still need about 30 dollars worth of clicks before i get my first check. you must be giving your girlfriend some good tips for adsense…keep up the good work
