Watching my Google Adsense Income Growing!

When I first started working online I was told not to bother with Google Adsense because it will never amount to a substantial amount of income even if I have loads of traffic.

So I never bothered with it when I first started. Then I did put Google Adsense onto my websites, but only because I had applied for a Google Adsense account for my Youtube channel.

I added Google Adsense to my website side bars and left it like that and never really bothered with it. Then I started getting a few clicks and making a small amount of money for views.

I was hooked, because well any way that I can see I can make money interests me. I then started adding some Google Ads within my content too and I saw my income increase a bit.

Then I started taking note of where I put my ads and thinking a little about the keywords that I use for my content.

Anyway in November my Google Adsense income was R127 ($9.69), in December it was R175 ($13.35), in January it was R255 ($19.45) and now this month to date it is already R406 ($30.96).

While I am not exactly working harder or creating a huge amount more content I am playing around with different things to see what works on my websites and what doesn't.

And yes while R400 (or $30) is still not a massive amount of income I can certainly see how I can grow this to be a substantial portion of my income with time and hard work.

The thing is that to add a few bits of code for my Google Ads into a post when I am finished just takes a few seconds, so this is truly residual income for me because I have to write content anyway don't I?

So my experience now is telling me that actually Google Adsense can be worthwhile and I will keep you updated on my earnings over time :)

I am looking forward to seeing how I can grow this income stream!
