- A Google Account: If you’re using Gmail or any other Google service, you already have one. If not, you can create a Google Account when you create your AdSense account.

Pro Tips
Although the following tips aren’t written in stone, we believe that they will improve your chances of getting accepted by AdSense.
- Your website should be at least 3 months old.
- You should have at least 30 articles published that are unique and valuable to readers.
- There is no minimum traffic amount that you should have, however the more, the better.
How Does Payment Work
There is a minimum threshold of $100 that you need to earn in ad revenue before you can get paid. Also, keep in mind that Google follows a net 30 payment term. As an example, when you earn ad revenue during September, your revenue will be sent out to you in the first week of November – 30 days after the billable month is over.
