You can only be paid through checks in Kenya.

You have the option of receiving the money in euros or dollars at $100 or 75 euros.

Note kenyan banks stay with the funds for 4 weeks and the check should get to you from google in 4 weeks. So give it 8 weeks to get your cash.

my advice, if you're still new and having difficulty getting to the 100 dollars, save the money in your account till december and enjoy a great new year!

My two cents: don't rely on Google Ads for revenue. They will not make you wealthy. The online gold mines right now are:
-'NGO Apps' e.g Ushahidi: make an app that seems to heal the world, get NGO funding for 'expansion' and pocket those dollars
-BPO from unskilled countries: target a country full of useless buggers like Malawi or Uganda, and outsource big digital projects from them.

I am not that way Elder. In fact, I am much against that tactic of pocketing NGO money. Proof of this is a very long argument I had with people at RCBowen over this very matter

RCBowen tech argument

As alma and elder have said u can only be paid through checks & now western union.

With checks there are 2 types:

Check - Standard Delivery(sent by regular mail arrives 2-3 weeks of mailing date)

Check - Secured Express Delivery (sent via courier and should arrive within 1 week & you will be charged €17.00 Processing Fee)

You want it fast that is in 1 week u will have to buy back those xtra 2 weeks for €17.00.

With western union though haven't used it yet you get to pick up your money the next day after the payment date.



Just to clarify something you don't receive your money in Euros or dollars

Your earnings in the adsense account will be in either Euros or dollars but you will receive the money in Kenya shillings at the exchange rate of the day of payment.



This is not true at all i have been using adsense for 2 years now and whenever i bank the check i get the money within just a few days.

FYI: Google have an account at City Bank in Upper Hill Road, Nairobi. That's where you will exactly be paid from. So i don't understand the issue of banks staying with the funds for 4 weeks.



The bank doesn't cut anything you get your full earnings plus the cents



Part of this statement is true but the fact is that the people having very poor earnings with adsense have either poor content targeting low paying keywords or have just one or two websites.

In short ALL KEYWORDS ARE NOT EQUAL If you really want to be successful in Adsense target high paying keywords with a lot of traffic.

Also don't expect to receive good earnings from just a one or two websites. The more the merrier. Simple maths if one site gets you €0.50
a day for example, what if you had 100 such sites? That's right u will be making €5.00 a day

As you have seen it takes a lot of research and initial hard work to be really successful with Google Adsense.

Good Luck!
