It took me June 2006 to October 2007 to earn my first check from AdSense. (
) In 4 months I have hit the 1/2 way point ($50) to getting my next check. I hope with the added time I will have to dedicate to my online ventures that I will receive my next check in May 2008.
I try not to look at the dollar amount, but the time and percentage of increase to keep motivated. Going from 16 months to 7-8 months for a check from Google is a great improvement. I look forward to monthly checks by the end of 2008.
