Only way to increase adsense is to get some clicks.
It means you need some traffic to you website.
Have you try to post your article link to some social website ?
stumbleupon.com
Pinterest
Twitter and more

I could be wrong here because I have not changed mine in ages, but can't you change the minimum payout amount or set it to direct deposit of any amount?

If you have any Youtube videos with decent traffic turn the Adsense ads On & set them to pre-roll where the ads show up before the video starts playing.

It might sound strange, but email marketing works pretty good.
I do it often, but never have a landing page with adsense, but an
index page with links geared to the recipient of the email. Do I send
unsolicited emails? Of course. I do it right, however. Can't say I
will divulge it all here. I post links (dripped) on FB group pages as
well, and get pretty good juice($) from that.

I know. A lot of you will shudder about that email marketing thing.

Not all junk email is spam.

You can try some PPC network. Google adwords is the best. You only need to invest few more bucks but that 100$ will be yours.

Hookers make good money. But it's hard work, I ended up quitting after a month.

It might cost you like $10-20, but posting a funny image or an in several big facebook pages will get you there. These pages will charge you to do that.

I'm still running best with hooking.

Thanks for the tips. I have an old auto blogging tool and will just make about 5 a day. I never thought of youtube and adsense. I will give that a try also.

advetise on youtube. It's one of the fastest way

Dance in front of your camera and charge it on Fiverr for 5$. If you put on bikini and spell the name of someone's company you might charge even more Just kidding...but actually Fiverr really offers some nice opportunities.

You could always enable your Adsense on a forum that allows you to profit share with the Adsense earnings and put up some really good posts.* Over a short time that could generate good Adsense earnings.

You can earn $5 from fiverr but its all about your gig or you can also earn $5 by sellinf blog commenting etc services here.
