It was a very busy month! I started posting on YouTube for my architectural site, and the most important: I finally got my money out of Google Adsense. The Adsense site is the worst. Turns out that they didn’t pay me is because they didn’t want to send me a check to my US house. But why? Because 10 years ago I was working in Panama, and that’s where I opened my Google email (I’m a yahoo mail user). So as a country of residence at the time, I wrote “Panama” since I was there temporarily. So now Google wants me to send payments abroad! I gave them my wife’s bank account in Panama, and the money arrived there instantly. What a mess has Google. I live in the US, I even gave them my tax information in the US and they are sending money to Panama! Of course, the bank abroad charged me almost $40 for the international transaction. But the important thing is that I got my money out from this company.
Traffic
Posted one or two articles. Comming more. I have now a pretty good idea of what I want to do with this site. I know it took me forever, but I finally got it figured out.
Started posting on this site heavily. I want to combine this site with my YouTube channel and provide useful information to architectural and engineer professionals based on my daily work
Now Pinterest traffic is dying out, but Google traffic is coming in instead, So now we are in a transition period.
Pinterest is kicking in but very slowly, and Google is ranking this site a notch higher.
Since I am reporting for myself the earnings and journey on this site of all my sites I never expected heavy growth. So I do not have heavy growth :-). I got what I wished for I guess 🙂
With this plan-demic: they killed all tourism! I hate them for that! I published 100 articles about beautiful places you can visit when on vacation in Panama – all for nothing! Maybe in a year or two tourism will pick up again, who knows. What can I do? Only wait…
YouTube Traffic
My wife’s contribution to this site is all Panamanian food recipes on YouTube. The channel is almost at the required 1,000 subscribers to get monetized. I think maybe November or December we will get there.
Don’t have time for this site. Maybe I will try to sell it…

Traffic From All My Sites - Summary
I got 7,313 visitors and 11,224 page views this month across all my websites. Thats a little better then last month. Good, I like it!
Income From All Sites
Google Adsense
Thank God, I got this company out of the picture as my ad supplier. They suck… The money there is just some leftovers. And the most important thing is that you cannot get through to their Customer Service – its impossible! And I am their client since I am providing my valuable ad space on my websites for them to use! As you know the ad space on your website is pretty limited. AdSense is ridiculous!
Google paid me all:
Media.net
Since I moved my sites to EZOIC, Media.net is disconnected. I should probably close the account with them…
Cannot complain about EZOIC. My average ePMV from all sites is $14.50 (100x better than Google and their cents they were giving me) and payments always on time. Like a clock. And they do not send me my money abroad like Google Adsense does!!!
Any issue – customer service is always available and it is not computer responding but real people! I love this! Maybe this is because I am too old for the New Era? Maybe now people prefer to do business with computers?
Anyway, if you rather deal with real people and if you want to try EZOIC as your add supplier you can sign up here, you will not regret it.
Amazon Associates
I never really believed in this Amazon business. Maybe people are making a lot of money with this, but I don’t see the future in this business. So whatever it is – I am not complaining. I am sure they will do more commission cuts in the near future, since now with the plan-demic their sales went crazy high, so why they need to bother to pay anybody commissions?
Etsy.com
I have to figure out what to do with this Etsy business. I kind of like it, but I don’t have results. I must be doing something wrong…
AirBnB.com, Awin.com, CJ.com and others...
Since tourism is killed and dead, no income from those providers.
Income Summary
EZOIC: $81.24
Amazon: $2.71
TOTAL: $83.95
That’s nice. It would be better if it would be 10X, but I will get there. I promise.
