How long did it take for you to hit the Adsense payment threshold?

I'm about halfway there, and I really hope I can keep my website up until I get there. I've been trying desperately to find ways to help support my family without the need to leave my daughter in the care of someone else, and I hope this works out.

How long did it take for you?

Well, I think it took almost a year when I first started with adsense. Now it's around 6 months for a check (I use Wester Union, but it's the same money). The pay is very low and most other ad networks are paying me 4-5 or more times, so I don't focus on adsense too much anyway. And the ad revenue has DECREASED over the years, even if my sites have a better traffic.

dojo So what other ad networks do you recommend?
My first threshold met only after 1.5 years. But the thing is I never had to look back again.
Adsense pays me quite nicely and I guess within a few more months time, I will be able to make this my full time work!

I signed up for Skimlinks yesterday, and I'm waiting to see if I get accepted. From what I've read, it seems to be really great, so I wanted to give it a try.

It took me exactly 5 months to reach the first 100$. Later it went all smooth and more better,now I'm making 14$/day and I'm proud !

I hit it the first month signed up and that's mainly because I have a Youtube channel. You might want to add a little youtube vlog to go with your site as it will help you get traffic and you can give out some info on your site

Another good advertiser to use is Fidelity Media.

The good thing about them is that have NO MINIMUM threshold of payment. They pay out monthly no matter how much (or how little) you earn.

Youtube channel is a pretty good idea. I am earning like 150USD per month without doing much!

It's budgetqueen79 it's a weightloss channel mostly. The thing about youtube is people love tutorials, you don't have to be a pro at it either you can just show a problem and solution. Whether you fail or excel at what you are showing it's somebody else that it may or may not work for also.

So have you signed up for that youtube partner stuff?

I can't remember exactly but i recall it was a long time. Unfortunately, that is the way it works with Adsense. I look at it like this, it makes a contribution to your hosting costs which is great if you own multiple sites.
