My First Online Payment
by wolf ~ May 1st, 2009. Filed under: Earn Online, Google Adsense.Finally, after almost two years since I setup my sites, I was able to receive my first $100. I know it’s not that much, but still, it’ll be a big help for me to make a US Dollar Savings bank account in BDO. I’ll be needing $200 though, ’cause that’s the minimum initial deposit. So $100 more and I can make an account in AlertPay. I’m already working on my Paypal account, maybe a week or two from now I’ll start to sign-up as a publisher to other advertising networks.
So here’s a small tip to those who’ll have their first time transaction in Western Union. These are the important info you will need:
- Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)
- Payment Amount
- and Google’s address which is: Google Ireland, 1600 Amphittheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
In the sender’s name I input: Google Inc.. If you were asked what’s your relationship with Google, just say you’re an affiliate. Lucky for me the employee already had previous encounters with webmasters like me/us. He even told me that there’s someone who earned like $300, and the other like a thousand. Plus, he added he’s also making a blog and hoping to earn huge, he asked me if it’s easy, and I responded with “no”. It’s possible, but it’s definitely not like magic.
I remembered in my first month, I think I only earned 14 cents. Thankfully I didn’t lose hope, eventhough people around me laughed about it. I continued working hard on my sites, experimenting stuff, learning how to use Wordpress, etc.
The one thing I hated the most, was when people who are very close to me, pushed me to do something I don’t want to. I know they want to help, but for me it only showed that they don’t trust me. I repeatedly told them “Hey, I’m only 18!”
The number one reason why I don’t want to work offline is because I already have a bond with my computer (I know it’s not a living organism, but that doesn’t matter.), and I want to prove that I can earn using my own computer which have been with me for 10 years (1999-2009, I officially became it’s owner in year 2002). Though there’ll come a time when I have to bid farewell to my pc, and buy a new one.
It’s great to have a goal which you have really thought about. Don’t follow something just because it’s what the “majority” is doing. In working online, at first you need to invest a lot of time, but in the end it will all pay off.
