Blog Financial Update: Two Milestones Achieved!

In one of my first entries, I promised to provide updates when I reached certain financial milestones, and I am pleased to announced that I have surpassed the first two milestones on my 9-part plan of earning $1 million:

$1 - Exceeded!

$5 - Exceeded!

$25

$100

$500

$1000

$50,000

$250,000

$1,000,000

 To date, the site has generated $8.48 in its first month.

Google AdSense lists "5 Steps To Getting Paid" on its Payments Guide. Briefly, they are, with my commentary:

1.) Check your address

No problem.

2.) Provide your tax information

Oh oh, I didn't realize that the feds were going to get involved. That may complicate things s;ightly.

3.) Select your form of payment

"Cash" or "Under the Table" would be preferable, but I did not see either one of these as an available option.

4.) Enter your PIN

OK, sounds easy.

5.) Generate $100 in earnings

Milestone #4 just became significantly more important. At my current rate, I would receive payment in approximately March, 2009. Fortunately, the site is improving with new features and contributors, and I really feel that it's just about ready to take off.
