Anti-Climax

After all the brou-haha over the taking over the government, the opposition is now cutting back on their deadlines. This is such an anti-climax!!

After 3 false starts, the takeover is now a non-starter. I hope this doesn’t stop the Government from continuing the offer for the fuel rebates though. What with oil prices coming down, they might just do a change of mind and cut the rebate. I haven’t renewed my road tax and car insurance yet. Its only due in December. ARGH!!!!

The USD is so low!

I just cashed out my Adsense today

Unfortunately the exchange rate is now so low

In the 3 months that I’ve been cashing out Adsense, I’ve had the rate drop from RM3.6 to RM3.1 today to US$1. This is terrible because it means my earnings don’t net me as much as I should get!

I know wishing for a strong USD at this point is asking to kill the world economy, but at least I’d have some satisfaction of earning more from Adsense! *evil*

Oh well, at least I’m still cashing out money. $200 next month! Woohoo!

Adsense target hit!

Oh my goodness!

I’m so very happy I can’t help myself.

I was just complaining a few days ago about not earning very much with Adsense now that I have changed one of my templates. I also wrote once about how I felt that my adsense earnings were actually getting a trifle embarrassing.

Well, when the year started, I set myself a target of $100 a month. This would ensure that I will be able to cash out my adsense money every month and ensure a steady income too. I’m not earning very much through other forms of online income anymore. The days of hitting a monthly income of $1000 are past. But I can still make a little and adsense i s one of the ways.

Anyway, last month, I hit $198. I was impressed! It helped that one of my sites is popular. No, I’m not telling you which! But it is, and its getting a good share of clicks on the adsense ads. I have also another niche site which has very high paying keywords and though the traffic there is low, then I get clicks there, its very good money.

So, I set myself a new target of $200. Ambitious. But when I hit $100 within the first 2 weeks of April, I knew something big was in order. True enough, I checked my adsense account this morning and found that I’d hit my targetted $200!!

Is it the secret in action? I’ve been thinking very positively about earning that much and I did. Maybe the laws of attraction really do work

I can’t wait till May when I get to cash out my April earnings. Ah sweet smell of moolah!
