Let's be a bit more practical. N20,000 = $53 (going by the rate banks presently charge for international transactions).

If we assume that you'll be bidding on the lowest competition keywords ($0.02 per click), you can get up to 2,650 clicks. And that's just the maximum; chances are you won't be able to get up to that due to factors such as your niche and target country.

Mind you, my estimation was based on the assumption that you're targeting Nigerians. If you're targeting users in developed countries (US, UK, etc), CPC could be as high as $1 or more. That means you won't get more than 100 clicks with that amount.

In all, the best decision you can make right now is to keep your money.

I looked at the picture from one angle, and I saw Jay-Jay Okocha and one of his fans.

Then I looked at it from another angle, and I saw Wizkid and one of his fans.

First it was "UNILAG is the only university in Nigeria with permanent accreditation for law".

Next, it was "UNILAG becomes first Nigerian University to get a TV license".

Now, it's the first Nigerian University to start testing students for use of hard drugs.

Who else thinks UNILAG really deserves all the hype it gets? I'm not asking bloody haters.

EDIT: To all quoting me to say UNILAG isn't the first with drug tests, I agree with you. You can now refute the first two feats I mentioned. Bloody haters!

To start with, I'm a final year medical student.

Yes, an average student can scale through medical school. The only part that is difficult for average students is getting admitted for medicine. That's usually a survival of the fittest thing.

But does that mean only extraordinarily brilliant students get admitted to medicine in our country? No. Here in my school, many average or even academically poor students are admitted into medicine based on connections (supplementary list).

And you know what? Most of these average students scale through med school without any problems. Or with few issues, such as resits.

So far an average student is not lazy and can plan his/her time well, he/she will be fine. Even the so called very brilliant students do fail exams due to laziness and carelessness.

Oil magnet?

Papiikush:
Only if giving birth was that easy and funny.

Kudos to women all over the world for the pains their go through during child delivery.

Death to those ones that terminate their pregnancy i hope they die from the cry of those kids from the underworld.

LOL! I'm trying to imagine how those who are guilty of aborti.on would be reading your post.

PastorMB:
lol... you are really funny. Now for the records, let me tell you exactly why I called you out.

Because you were just gonna brag and leave. Thereby forcing people to beg you like their lives depends on it. Why you sit and find a way to milk them.

Now, are you gonna teach your Adsense tricks to those dishing out insults to me because of you since yesterday?

So, you've now changed your story to "I called you out because you were gonna brag and leave", right? Did you forget that you stated clearly that the Adsense account isn't mine? You must be very stu.pid. So, now that you've seen proof, it's another story.

Anyway, if you're blind to see for yourself, I already edited an earlier post on the thread to include some tips for increasing Adsense earnings.

I didn't forget that you provided no evidence of your so-called earnings, but I don't need any from you.

It's just so obvious that someone like you can infect me with your stu.pidity, and I won't even read your reply on this thread again let alone post another reply. Now, you can steer clear off my mentions.

Decryptor:
What i meant in the last statement i made was that you should show me a video like this OR FOREVER SHUT UP!

I need videos not pictures!!!

Like I said earlier, I made a 6-minute video of everything you requested, but because I couldn't figure a way to blur out vital information from it, I resorted to screenshots.

For two hours, I downloaded different video editing software from movavi, to filmora to activepresenter. Interestingly, I just discovered all these tools this morning (over this same matter). Unfortunately, none of them could offer exactly what I wanted. So, I gave up on the videos thing.

So, if seeing my video at all cost is what your life depends on, I'm sorry, but you'll have to lose it because I can't compromise vital information (the same reason you didn't use your Google account).

You try. But you know what, I didn't watch that video and I won't.

You see, I don't have trust issues. I only requested your proof because you first did the same.

If anyone comes around to say he earns so and so amount, I just wish him well. And if he's obviously a liar, I usually ignore people like that.

So, even if you told me that you earn $100,000 monthly, I would believe you unless I have a strong reason not to. I won't ask you to bring proof simply because I think those figures are too high. In as much as I'm nit buying from or dealing with you, I'll let you be.

So, whatever you earn isn't my concern. What caused all these was that you doubted my claims. And I've provided the proof you requested.

Peace up!

Ubijus1:
Share your tips with us brother

My brother, scroll up to the post in which I apologized for the many screenshots. I've edited that post to include tips for increasing Adsense earnings.

Decryptor:
I asked you to show us the dashboard of your adsense on your Google account and you are showing me Wordpress panel with Jetpack?
Guy SHIFT go one corner! Everyone knows that you are selling that trashy e-book to gullible people who ask you for guidance.

Oya, go think of your next strategy.

I never knew hate can cause blindness. LOL! I actually uploaded the dashboard of the Adsense on my Google Account. Scroll up and open your eyes clearly this time.

Then cry foul once again!

Decryptor:
And for your information @webincomeplus, i don't use adsense. I make use of Shortest and Adfly and have been on them for over 6 years. I have less issues with them unlike Adsense. See screenshots here that will drown you. People who earn REAL MONEY don't MAKE NOISE ONLINE!!!

Wait, I didn't even look closely at your screenshot earlier. Why are you showing me a screenshot of August 2016 when we are in November 2017? Didn't you see that my own screenshots were generated just this morning?

And that's the stale, shitty screenshot that will "drown" me? You must be a joker!

PastorMB:
Buddy I am a Network Engineer..., working for an ISP.

I move every day from Mon to Sun to work. 6am to 6pm.

You wana know what busy is? Wait till you work under pressure and tight deadline. GO and read your books, buddy... no disrespect.

Blogging is what I use to get name... not pay my bills.

Don't see it as I am bragging, I am only stating the obvious.

Again, you're not busier than I am. There's a lot more to my day that reading medicine! So, you can now go back to your work, bro.

You're telling me not to see it as bragging? Did you not see a simple comment of mine that was borne out of experience as bragging? You people can be very funny.

I didn't make noise. I contributed to motivate others. But you took the whole thread elsewhere, prompting me to provide evidence.

Mind you: You've indirectly made some noise, too.

PastorMB:
lol... Nop! Because I have a very busy schedule at work, so most times I just have to promote guerrilla.

I know you wana sell E-book, but don't worry... all in all follow.

Being busy ain't no excuse for using shitty strategies. I'm a medical student (final year), so you can't be busier than I am.

Just so you know, I have no ebook on Google Adsense, and I will never write one on it because its not a straightforward topic. Or have I ever pictched you about one?

SegunFreelance:
Bro I guess you wanna learn blogging, kindly PM him. I know the man so well as well as the blog he is talking about. It is only people like you that discourage beginners that making money online is impossible.

He even go as far to provide proof yet you just wanna see all. If not that I am not permitted, I would have type the link of the blog here. So, take time.

The fact that you haven't make such figure doesn't mean others don't.

When you see a successful man, try to admire not discourage them.

Don't mind the fo.ol. I wonder what he would ask for if I show him screenshots of my Amazon Affiliate Earnings. He's comparing himself to me when all he does is to go about spamming Facebook groups for traffic, while search engines send me free traffic even in my sleep.

Let even add a screenshot of my traffic sources: Majorly search engines and direct visits.

PastorMB:
You wana see mine? ... Hang on.

$600 my foot. Na soo...With your forum spamming strategy, right?

Apologies to everyone who felt bored by the screenshots. I hate to do stuffs like this, but sometimes you need to go extra miles to prove the truth.

For beginners who have been nursing the dream of earning big on Adsense, the first thing to bear in mind is ...

TRAFFIC.

There are really no magic tricks anywhere. And there are no shortcuts. Without massive traffic, you can't earn via Adsense.

From my experience, one can cannot start earning decently from Google Adsense until his/her blog starts generating about 2000 daily visits. So, if you're still far from that milestone, you need to work on your traffic and bother less about Adsense for now.

HOW TO INCREASE YOUR ADSENSE EARNINGS

Now, I want to share with you some of the strategies I've used to increase my Adsense earnings consistently and some things I've learned since I started monetizing with Adsense:

First, traffic matters most. I just can emphasize this enough. Without decent amount of traffic, you won't earn decent income from Adsense. If your blog hasn't started generating up to 2000 daily unique visits, this is the only tip you need right now. Because without massive traffic, other tips here won't work.

Second, keep testing different ad placement formats until you get the one that attracts clicks the most. There's no format set in the stone, so you have to keep tweaking to see what works best for your blog. However, be careful not to place too many ads above the fold. Adsense hates this!

Third, link ads rock! I've observed that many Nigerian bloggers put up only banner ad units and ignore text link ad units. Truth is, text link ad units are usually more in line with your content, so they tend to attract lots of clicks. If you've not been using them, you're losing money!

Fourth, increase your page views. The more page views you have, the higher the number of ad clicks you'll generate. Why? Because more page views mean visitors stay on your blog to read multiple pages before leaving. In addition, the more your page views, the lower your clickthrough rate. And the lower your clickthrough rate, the safer you are (because Google Adsense bans accounts with exceptionally high CTR). To increase your page views, use "Related Posts" and "Popular Posts" plugins or widgets.

Fifth, wide ad units attract most clicks. I've observed that the leaderboard that most bloggers place in their blog headers and the skyscraper usually placed in the sidebar don't really attract attention. Why? Because visitors are usually focused on the content area, not the header or sidebar. So, ad units embedded within content attract most clicks.

Sixth, always monitor your Adsense dashboard. When necessary, it gives you hints on what to do to increase your earnings. Also, it sends you warning signals when some things are goung wrong.

Seventh, monitor your traffic with Google Analytics, not the Blogger Dashboard traffic stats. As for the traffic stats on Blogger dashboard, it gives exaggerated traffic reports because it counts visits from bots and search engine spiders as part of your traffic. However, Google Analytics tracks only real human traffic. Why should you monitor your Analytics stats. Let me share this with you: last week, I noticed that my clickthrough rate was getting higher, and I couldn't explain why. I then noticed that the number of page views has reduced. With the help of Google Analytics, I was able to find out the exact date the problem started. And I was able to find the cause of the problem (one silly plugin was making the blog show blank on opera mini, which increased the bounce rate and reduced the number of page views). I quickly deleted the plugin, and things went back to normal.

Eighth, search engine traffic generates most clicks. Why because SEO brings fresh visitors, not repeat visitors who are already "blind" to your ads.

Ninth, if Google Matched content has been activated for your Adsense account, try to place it under your posts. That tool boosts page views like crazy.

So, if you have any questions regarding this post or something to add, leave a comment and let's learn from each other.

PastorMB:
Impossible for me? I earn $600 from a blog of 7 months! So shove these your tips down your ***** once again!!

Teach those you wana teach and get the hell outta my mentions!

Mr Abbas Toriola. Everyone knows your blog, so why the hell are you even covering it with ink?

I'm glad you eventually believed. Can we now see your own screenshots? And let's see who's been blowing smoke?

Finally, here's the Google Analytics for the site. I've uploaded this because one slowpoke couldn't just comprehend that a Nigerian blog can generate so much traffic...

Here's the dasboard of the site once again. For those who want to know more about the site, it's targeted at Nigerians. Opened in 2014. Presently has 1,574 posts and over 14,000 comments (see the screenshot).

NOTE: The site didn't start earning from Adsense until November 2015. That's after one and half years! So, don't think success will come fast.

Before someone claims that I can only make that much from multiple sites...

Yes, I have Adsense on other sites, but only this one site is making all the money. See the shot...

Just before somebody says I copied the screenshot from elsewhere...

Here's my Adsense dashboard on PC. Note the date and time on my PC (bottom right corner).

Here's my Adsense login page. Note the sites in the browser tabs... Also, note the consistency of the name of the site: Starts with "N" and ends with "r"

This is for Decryptor and PastorMB, the two dumbos who couldn't believe my claims because the same has been impossible for them. I guess this will convince you that the screenshots were taken with my own PC?

Here's the site stats page. Doubting Thomases, note the date and time in the screenshot.

Here's the dashboard of the site earning my Adsense income. The screenshots show the traffic stats.

Yesterday, I responded to a post in which the OP asked how much people would be satisfied with as their daily earnings from Adsense. My response was that I one can never get satisfied, and I used my own personal experience as example, detailing how I felt unsatisfied with each earning increase I got.

Unfortunately, some elements who think they can cast aspersion on my character and claims went overboard in expressing their disbelief of my claims. Even after showing screenshots of my earnings, one doubting Thomas (or probably an hater) asked me to make a video.

I wouldn't have gone this far to provide proof, but I don't want his comments to cast demoralize newbies who might think making money online is impossible.

Even though the guy challenged me to make a video. I did, but because I couldn't figure out a way to blur out sensitive information from the video, I gave up, and resorted to showing detailed screenshots instead.

See the screenshots below.

After uploading the images, I'll reveal my Adsense earning tips for free.

miketayo:
I have a friend with less 2-6k daily users Nd earns 800- 1500 dollars per month

There is a difference between users and visits. 3k users can decide to visit a site multiple times a day, just like we do on Nairaland. If 3k users visit a site 5 times within a day on the average, that's 15k visits, you know?

But even at that, his traffic must be coming from those high CPC countries.
