Revealing

When i set up this blog, i did not intend to let anyone i know to know about it, not even the person closest to me in the wholeeeee wide world. ie. The husband.

I chose to blog anonymously. However I told myself i would reveal the blog to him when i receive my first cheque from google adsense. A target i set for myself about 1 year and a month ago. Today, i'm about 5 bucks short to target. Brave thyself dear fashionasia. It has to be revealed. Sooner or later. Gulp....

The reason I did not want him to know is because, knowing him, surely he will comment that i'm wasting my time yada yada, but if i have a cheque in 1 hand and a blog in another, i bet he'd be more supportive. :)

Congrats on almost reaching your goal! It can be so hard, especially since you can't say "Hey, come click on these ads and make me some money"

hi sarah, Thanks!
well, actually i just put up adsense for fun(just to see if they really pay) and not expecting anything much frm it. True its not much, but its some added bonus :) Good enough for a good meal or two la.

$5 more to go, you can do it!

if your hubby loves you (which i'm sure he does!), then he won't mind if you blog :)

in the event that he does and is not supportive, then don't "give" him any lor... hehe

pu3: they only send a cheque to you when you reach USD100. Im hitting it soon after 1 year++. If u really count, thats like, err...like a couple of dollars per month lo. But its still money mar!! Please do take the first step. Its a little diff to figure out at first but after that its just left there and noneed to do anything at all. Then collect ur little bonus. Just dont turn your blog into money sucking site that only uses "keywords" all the time. :P arghh...hate those sites, do continue to blog as normal n try not to be too commercialize.

jeremyc: Thanks for the tip!! now when is your full monty?? kkekkeekek

Congrats! So did it get past the USD100 end of March? Then, they will issue the cheque by around 22-23 March and it will be on its way to you soon!
