just said the same thing, a few days later it's rolling in.. im looking at close to $200 for my first check when i thought i would struggle to get $100.. Anyway congrats and stick it out mate
Congrat buddy. Keep it up and you will reach $100 mark per month very soon. Usually it will take a few month to get the first paycheck from adsense and you will double or triple your earning if you continue your effort.
as im in the same boat, im going to get my first payment by cheque & then use the wire transer option, but just as motivation i want a piccy of me holding my google cheque (a bit nerdy but i dont care good for motivation)
Nicely done, build content, build links and you will will get more every month (I've just broken the $1000 barrier, so I know it can be done - though it took 10 months' work!).
