We finally hit the $100 Google Adsense threshold and should be getting a Google payment soon It only took three years this time! 😁  As you can see in the image, the last (and first) Google payment was issued on January 27, 2021. If Google issues the payment by June 27, it will only have taken three years and six months. The last Google Adsense payment of $120.10 in 2021 took FIVE YEARS, if memory serves. Can you imagine if I had a big family who could click on my links, and make comments on my posts?! I could make $100 per month! Per day even. Let's see if I made $100 per day times 365 days, that's $36,500. Not bad right? In comparison, here's Facebook's ad revenue: Meta, formerly known as Facebook Inc., reported a total revenue of $134.9 billion for the 2023 fiscal year, which is about $369 million per day. This is an increase of 15.6% from the previous year. Facebook's primary source of income is digital advertising, and it's the leading platform for social m...

Site is near the Google Adsense threshold of $100  Once we reach it, we get another check from Google. Our last check was for $120.10. How you can help I'm not asking for a penny; just a little time and effort -- only the same one you spend on Facebook. Yes, by using, posting and commenting on Facebook, you help earn revenue for the company. In the same way, if you visit pinoybuilt.com, comment on posts, share the posts on your Facebook profile (or Twitter, etc), you help this site earn ad revenue. That's why I almost left Facebook in 2017 (I only returned due to the death in the family, to communicate with relatives). But as most of you know, I'm not as active on Facebook, even on Messenger. I've made millions of dollars already for Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. I think it's high time I make some for my site and me. Plus you know me. If I ever hit it big, I'll be sure to share the wealth. 😊 Photos courtesy of Karen Tessie Alvarez. Join us & help build a ...

I'm less than $12 from hitting the $100 threshold on my Google Adsense account. Google sends me a check once I reach $100. The last (first and only) check I cashed from Google was for $120.10. (See image below). No, I don't blog "just for fun" although it is part of my self-therapy. If you know me, I'm into photography, and my photos mean the world to me. But sharing my photos on Facebook helps make Facebook money. I've decided I'd rather have my photos benefit me instead of Zuckerberg and Facebook shareholders. I had this idea in January 2003 to create a Fil-Am website, an ONLINE COMMUNITY , be the number one Filipino website in California (since most of the Filipino-Americans lived in California) and reap the ads revenues from that. I had met with my cousin Melvin (and his cousin Ress) back then at my house. Friendster was the thing then. But the site that inspired everyone back then (including Mark Zuckerberg later on) was "Hot or Not."  Hot o...

Thanks for visiting the site! When you come to this site, and just VIEW the Google Ads, I make a penny or two. That's how Facebook makes BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. We're all on Facebook, posting our photos, providing content -- especially the comments -- all for FREE! Yes, you've been working for Facebook for FREE. 😅 Imagine if you all joined this site, and created content (just post photos like you do on Facebook and Instagram), and made comments as you do daily! Increased revenue. But that would be bad. I'll become a millionaire, maybe a gazillioinaire... and you and I will be partying on my super yacht I always dreamed of. 😀 Inside The $8,000,000,000 Mega Yacht FIL-AM.

On Sunday, July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Spain beat Argentina 1-0 to win the FIFA World Cup. For ninety-eight minutes, nobody scored.
