The Day I Received A Google Mail In My Letterbox

You know, most website owners, dream of making money one day online, dreaming that someone or something out there will recognise your efforts for building a great website. As Football Manager Guru, a site of mine that I’ve been working on for the past year solidifies its place in the top 6 of Google search results for “Football Manager Blog”, a search term that gives 11 million hits, I see the amount of adsense money that I’ve been making from the site going up steadily.

And boy is it a joy. The last step before I could receive real cash from Google, is that they need to verify that I actually exist in sunny Singapore at the address I used when I signed up for my Google Mail aka account eons ago. Today they did just that, and what a day it’s been for me.

One day after my 21st birthday, I passed the CMFAS (Module 5) examinations, and I am one step away from getting money from Google after receiving the mail below!

Of course, I blanked out the voucher code.

All I have to do now, is await a postcard from Google, and I could collect the money from my Google adsense account!

For a first timer making money off the Internet, this is extremely exciting for me. It also validates the hard work that I’ve put in to my various websites, and I must say it is immensely satisfying.

Thank You, Uncle G!
