First Google Adsense Check and More
This post is well over due; however I would like to share this information with you! My brother made a post on his blog a while back about receiving our very first Google Adsense check, but I don’t think many of you read his blog. Here is an overview of our earnings for our Newport Harbor Fans website for the first month and a half (end of September and all through October). The picture below show’s our first Google Adsense check, it’s not $1,324.07 because some of the money we earned carried over.
Earnings Overview
Google Adsense: $1,324.07
Kontera: $126
Neverblueads: $18
iTunes: $243.53
Total: $1711.60
We made a total of $1,711.60 dollars in a little over a month’s time period. It’s kind of crazy how one simple idea can lead to making a couple thousand within a few months. I hope this can motivate some of you who have ideas to take and put them into action. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.
The earnings for the site have decreased quite a bit, however it’s earning us well over what it costs to pay for our web hosting plan. There’s really no point in taking the site down either because a second season is already in the making.
Website Statistics
Since October we’ve averaged over 10,000 unique visits and 250,000 pageviews per month. What’s so great about those statistics? My brother and I put in the hard work for the first few weeks we had the site up. Now, we hardly do anything with the website and people keep coming back. It’s also because re-runs of the show and special episodes are being aired on television. We’ve also managed to rank #3 in Google for the term “
Future Plans and Ideas
Before our Christmas break ends, my brother and I plan on redoing the WordPress design so hopefully we can sell the whole website it in the near future. Why would we try to do this when it’s brining in a good cash flow? Because we can’t be sure how many seasons of
What This Has Proved
If you’re discouraged of pursuing something you wish to do, especially online, my brother and I have just proved that knowing very little about coding and anything related to websites doesn’t matter. We don’t know how to code websites and we don’t know how to do a lot of things related to making websites. Who cares if you have to use WordPress. WordPress works like a charm. Make the most of what you have and you will be successful in pursuing any of your endeavors as long as you put 100% of your effort into them.
Merry Christmas!
That’s awesome dude, congrats. Now the next question, do you watch the show? haha…
My brother and I both watch the show every week
I mean…c’mon, there’s no real point in making the site if you don’t watch the show! haha
Sshhhh. I do too, I just don’t admit it, yet. Haha.
To be honest I never even heard of this show until you or your brother told me you guys own that fansite LOL.
Till this day I still have no clue what it’s about and probably won’t bother checking it out (too busy ^_~)
In any event, great job on the adsense check. I was curious after your brother posted it up why it wasn’t the full $13XX and only $10XX written in the blog. If it was for the month of september and october, it should have included the full amount of the end of september (if this was under $100) and all of october (none should have carried over)… Unless you were counting up-to-date meaning when the post was made in November or something along that line.
In any event, keep up the good work!
Nice. I cannot get past $2.00 and here you are with a check with four positions on it.
I’m amazed and excited that an idea can produce such great results. Hope you and your brother continue to do the damn thing and bring all your ideas to life.
Through the process I’ve learned that if you have an idea don’t be afraid to take action and try it out. We definitely made a quick buck off the site and are still making a couple hundred each month doing absolutely nothing.
What pisses me off is that new show Gossip Girl on the CW. Before that show aired I saw previews for it, but my brother and I didn’t think it was going to be a popular show….blah, look at it now!! I think every girl I know watches that show.
I also registered with google adsense though its not emailing me if my application is approve or not. Is the approval process really too slow?
Congrats on your earnings man! Thats great inspiration for the rest of us
Hope i can get mine too
wow, that’s simply gnarly ( sorry for my use of outdated 80’s surf lingo , but i just love that word) and that is indeed inspiration !
I envy you because i also have adsense account but im not earning from it:(
