Its a Merry Christmas indeed for me today as I finally got my Google Adsense earnings at Western Union.

I reached the $100 limit before the end of November so I was actually expecting a payout from Google. But when I reviewed the Adsense payout schedule, I calculated that I would be getting my money around the middle of January. That would be if I opted to be paid via standard check.

Good thing that Google has offered an alternative payout method via Western Union quick cash. With quick cash, you can get your money the day after the payment has been processed. All you have to do is go to the nearest Western Union branch that offers quick cash services to claim your Adsense earnings. And that is what I did.

It all went without a hitch for me. One factor maybe is that I was the only customer during that time so the guy at the counter could focus on my transaction. I just presented my IDs, filled out the appropriate forms and ta-da I got my money. It took all of 15 minutes.

I am so excited. I now monitor my adsense earnings quite frequently and study ways on how to optimize the ads on my 3 sites. It took me almost a year to get to $100. Now, I am hopeful to have another payout in the next two months. I am crossing my fingers.

Merry Christmas everyone!
