congrats!..I told you this works you just need to keep at it and wait. It will work and it will grow. I hope you do not mind but i added a link to this post on the testimonial page

This certainly gives a beginner some hope. I'm truly excited and look forward to seeing the pennies turn into dollars and life begin to turn around. I look forward to getting checks in the mail. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for publishing this article. I have been working at this wiriting online gig for 2 months and have seen only a few dollars. Try Triond too, if you have not. They don't rely on Adsense to make money. I have made 45 cents on Adsense and $2.75 on Triond so far. I have gotten hundreds of hits on PrintNPost and HubPages but only 3 or 4 clicks on my ads. The traffic seems to be coming but the money is not. Maybe I need thousands of article views? Anyway, thank you for this. I have a blog that is called "Money,Blog" directed to this topic. I will link to this article, if you don't mind, on my blog. The url is www.beginnerfreelancer.blogspot.com is you want to see what I've written. Good luck on your ventures!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Do not feel bad. I have been with Hubpages for two months, I have 29 Hubs, and I have only made 2.49 so far. The part that bothers me the most is that I have to keep publishing hubs just keep a level of traffic between 35-50k page impressions per day. For instance, today, out of 29 Hubs, 20 of them do not even have one page impression. How discouraging!

I have stopped worrying about making money blogging. I have become a part of a great organization where I make real money from home. I am now doing it full-time. If you want to know more e-mail me.
