My First $100 Dollar Day with Google Adsense

Today is a good day.  Today I had my first $100 dollar day with Google AdSense. 

  

This is great achievement for me. 

I started this journey back in 2007. It has taken me 5 long years to get to this point.

I remember in the beginning, I never thought it would have taken this long. I was like a lot of people, thinking when I build they would come. But they didn't.

I have learned from this experience. I learn there is no short cut to making money online, if there is I have never found it.

I must admit, the early years where rough. Looking at my Google AdSense and see I have only made $3 dollars all day was pretty depressing. Many times I felt like quitting. Making a decent amount of money online seemed impossible.

But I am glad I didn’t quit. I am glad I kept creating quality pages. I believed in what I was doing and I that I was making a difference.

My biggest motivation (Inspiration)

The visitors to my site where my biggest motivation. Every time I thought about quitting I would get one of does feedbacks, telling me how much they like the site and how helpful it been to them.

The feedbacks I received where like blast of fuel. 

I know lot of you have been doing this for a while and still stuck on a few dollars per day. I know how frustrating it is because I been there.

My advice to you is not to give up. Keep working hard. Keep believing in what you are doing.

Listen to your visitors (your audience). If they tell you something is wrong, then it probably is. Fixit don’t ignore your visitors.

Recommit yourself to your site. Stay within your niche, don’t try and do everything. Stay focus on your topic. Don’t look at someone else success and try and do what they are doing. Do what you know best.

I know this is not the end. This is really just another mile stone. I know I will not make $100 dollars every day. Some days I will still make $10 dollars because my niche is school education and it is very seasonal. But just like winning a championship I will have to defend it. For me to continue making $100 dollars day I will have to work harder. Every day there is more competition online. More websites are being created every day. Trying to maintain and grow traffic is getting harder. I will have to find different ways to grow my business.

I don’t look at this as work. This is something I wanted. This is why I spent so many hours creating my site. To me this is fun.

Goals

You have to be realistic when you are setting goals. You can’t expect to make $100 a day if you have never made $50 in one day.

You have to celebrate every mile stone. Your first $5 day, $10 day, $25 day, $50 day and so on.

I would love to make $200 a day, but I know that will not happen this year. This is a goal I will set for next year.

Fear

A type of fear has come over me. The fear of losing everything that I have worked so hard for. The fear of waking up one day and all my traffic has disappeared and taken my AdSense earning with it.

But I read somewhere that this is a fear that many successful business people have, the ones who have started their own business.

I read that this is a healthy fear. It is a type of fear that keeps you motivated. A fear that makes you wants to work harder to keep what you have achieved.

But today will take a time out. Today will have breakfast at my favorite café then take a slow work over the Brooklyn Bridge.
