Hey, I got into webdesigning about 1 or 2 years ago and for a certain amount of time, got realy into it. my second website http://www.webmastergalaxy.net gave me an idea that using google adsense could make me a lot of money and as you would probably expect somewhere along the way of it being a lot harder than I thought and then bit by bit losing all interest in the whole webdesigning field. However I have about $85 in my account and I was wondering, is there a way to extract that as no more will be added to that?
Did you the hit the $100 mark previously and receive money from Google? if not, your account need to get to $100 before you get paid for the first time.
If you email Google to get your AdSense account closed, they'll pay you if your remaining balance is over $5 (or was it $10?), either way you're fine and you'll receive your payout.
Yes you can cancel your account to get the balance paid but better would be to still continue with your website for some more time and make it to 100$ and then hibernate till your webdesigning revives
