Blog Minx

Well hallelujah and break out the champagne, my first-ever Google AdSense check has arrived in the mail! I’d set up direct wiring, but never mind, better late than never. The check is for $144. I could photograph myself holding it like Shoemoney did, but his check was worth a bit more.

But before you get all worked up and think the $144 is one month’s Minx earnings, think again. The $144 has been slowly accruing since 2004, when I started my first blog (a travel blog about living in Berlin) and haphazardly added some of the world’s first AdSense ads. My profits grew slowly, my blogs changed, and here we are now at the grand total of $144 dated to the end of June 2007.

So, $144. Should I invest it? Should I start a new business? Should I buy a one-way bus ticket to a new life? No, it’s going towards my overdraft.

Thank you, Google.
