Hey Shoemoney, Us Little Guys Can Do It Too

By now just about everyone that blogs on the Interweb has seen the impressive AdSense check shared by Shoemoney.

As a matter of fact, I am sure that check is responsible for motivating a great number of people to start their blogs. Unfortunately, many of those people bailed on their blogs after a few short months when the AdSense earnings were not rolling in and the “fun factor” of the new blog had waned.

Well, I am here today to tell you that the “little guy” can do it, as I am about to show you.

As you’ll notice in the photo, this check is dated from February of this year. The reason that I am just showing it now is because I’ve had a long debate whether I should post this or not - as I don’t want anyone to think I am bragging.

Enough of the small talk…

AdSense Earnings

The next time that you are questioning yourself or doubting if you made the right choice by starting your blog, come here and take a look at this for motivation.

Anything is possible!

Now that I have let the cat out of the bag, I am sure there will be plenty of questions regarding how this was accomplished and what you need to do to duplicate this success.

As long-time readers of this site will know, I have posted about the tips and tricks that were used along the way to get to this point. If you’re new to this blog, I will try to save you some time and point you towards the one post that will tell you exactly how I was able to do this and what you need to be in the same position. Are you ready? Please keep in mind that I cannot guarantee you will be able to achieve the same level of success but here is the secret.

(Be sure to read the entire post for all of the details.)

Well, you certainly know how to get somebody’s attention. Hope the IRS doesn’t see this check. :)

So, you turn out to be another evil secret weapon too! LOL, I was under the impression that you were moaning and groaning when the monthly earnings went south! Tch Tch!!

I was looking for the kicker too…

Not sure what that meant, but I assume you have something hidden?

If only we could get the banks to fall for Photoshoping too.

Congrats! I hope to be joining you one day. If only I could afford Photoshop…

BTW, this KeywordLuv thing is genius. More blogs should do that.

That dollar amount looked awfully close to the edge. That was my first hint.

But that link to “the secret” was just plain evil.

Congratulations. I’m sure earning such a large amount requires a lot of hardwork in addition to corporate values and business ethics.

Ha ha! So many people here thought it was real. I doubt I would have been fooled as easily, but I guess we’ll never know.
