   I'm so new; I didn't know that you could ask followers!  But I wouldn't want to do it, anwyay;  you gotta give credit where credit is due.

      There are so many hubbers and so much out there on the internet that even if you are brilliant you may never be found.
      In my local supermarket when there is a new product for sale or even an old one that people have forgotten about, they hand out samples so you can try..asking people to have a look at your hub is like asking them to sample your wares...if they don't like it they won't come back, but if they don't know it's there..then it isn't there!

   Unless it just hasn't been activated, the biggest hub earner in the "success stories" earns $1200 per day, which comes to about 40 bucks per day. Is that stil right? I'm just excited to have earned more than a dollar in my first week that my hubads were activated. So, new hubbers--take heart! Write, read, research how to do well, read other hubs and respond.... Just work on it, and I'm hoping it will continue to come for all of us who keep working on it!

   I have read so much on how to make money, but can someone who is great at this give a written example. No one out there actually shows you through written examples. This as a hubber is frustrating. So far made ,02 cents hardly enough for a cup of coffee.I suppose if it were easy everyone would be hubbing. Is this the 80/20 rule? Only 20 percent really make money?

      Alphagirl, you've been here 5 days - you're lucky to have earned anything at all!
      
      Writing online is a long term investment.  My best earning Hub has earned me over $300, but it didn't earn a cent for its first three months or so.
      
      Making money online takes just as much hard work as a job out in the real world.  For the first couple of years, unless you're a very quick study, you'll earn less than you would cleaning toilets.  After that, if you've studied and worked hard, you could start earning real money and ultimately be able to work fewer hours.
      
      You should be prepared to do more reading than writing at first!

      Yes alphagirl it is very frustrating that no one is giving a step by step instructions on what we have to do to make the $$ by writing on-line.
      I have found someone  in my local area  who is a Google partner and is able to instruct on how  to do all those things that the articles say to have a successful blog. It will cost  (not much) so I am doing my own research before booking time with this guy so I know exactly what I want him to show me.  Google your local area for "Google Partner" you may be able to crack the code with their help. Good Luck!

      You should start with the HP learning centre. You wouldn't have to pay a dime, and you'll learn A LOT.
      
      Devote a week or two. Do absolutely nothing but read, read, read. If you are a fast learner, you'll grasp a lot in no time. Then take it from there.
      
      If i had known about the learning centre when i started, i'd probably be earning double what i am, today.
      
      PS: Only those who persevere make money here.

      Much of which you just write because you like to anyways. As far as reading...I did go to the learning center. I guess I am doing ok if I earned .02 cents first time out in a short time. Thanks for your insight. It is appreciated.

      It hasn't changed for a very long time, and its been that way since before any Google Panda updates.
      
      I know both Habee and others from the front page have stated they earn whats listed there, they have confirmed it in the forums.
      
      But thats not to say it hasn't gone up or down since then.......

   I think this is why marketing is so hard. Its an unproven science as to what makes a person buy or click on an ad. What compels them as well as how hard it is using the right words, long tails, key words. Things change so much and so fast. Maybe there should be a mentorship online where, based on how long you have been hubbing, someone teaches you the ropes.
   
   In martial arts only the secrets are passed on to the most dedicated. All the info out there says the same thing.
   
   And like anything else, only some of us will make a living at this. I for one would love it . I like the benefits of bubbing from any location. I wish us all luck and if anyone agrees with my idea of mentorship for hubbers...

   I would be so much happy, to have the hubads set up, but no i can't. Because you have to get a paypal account first, before the hubads program. Nigeria has been kicked out since God knows. But making some cents with the ads program means making some naira to me, what i mean is that a dollar is equivalent to 150 naira. So no matter how small the money i make per day, i will still be happy, not only because it is tax free, but also because it will become huge when changed to naira. And to does making something close to $50 per day. I'll advice you to work for a year on hubpages and relocate to Nigeria, the cost of living is very low, your 50 bucks can feed you for a month! Happy hubbing it has been a whole lot of fun here.

   I just found a Hubber who joined Hubpages 23 months ago..has written only one Hub but has 23 followers!
   
   The Hubber's name is: Filipino girls
   
   and the title of his Hub is: 10 Mistakes You Probably Make With Women

      How about having more than 1 million views in 7 months. With only one hub that has been backlinked to death.
      
      If I remember right, most of those million views came within 6 weeks, but don't quote me.

   To tell you all the truth, living here overseas, if i was to get $500 a month (ten fifty dollar days - ho ho) from Hubpages, that would be more than my "normal" paycheck!  What a sweet dream!  I commented on a forum that I was only making 15 - 20 cents a month, and was told to post to more forums (Stumble Upon, reddit, Digg, etc.)  Just heard of a few more - She Told me, for example.  Today is the 17th and I'm already at 32 cents - double where I was last month!  LOL.  But money is seriously not everything.

       Carolyn, What needs to be taken into consideration is that this is residual money. What you are making a month now could continue for the rest of your life, if Hubpages is around that long.  Hubs really do rank better as they age too.

    Just figured I'd let everyone know that I just hit the $50 mark yesterday.  It took me 3 or 4 months, but it can be done.  I don't have a lot of hubs, but some people have well over 1000.  I think if I had more, I'd make a lot more from HubPages each month.  You get back whatever you put in - even if it takes awhile.

       You are doing well! I haven't managed $5 in a month yet. The more traffic I get, the lower proportion of views are recognised as impressions and the less I get paid per impression by Hub Ads. It's not exactly inspiring me to write anything more.
       
       Added note:
       50% more impressions recorded yesterday than over the previous three days, but approx. 5% lower earnings!

    Since my rise in traffic yesterday, I see a LOT of potential for this site now. I have red flags all over the place and there was a delay of income yesterday, but I checked today, and I have confirmed that the increase in traffic resulted in a significant income increase.
    
    I would not be surprised if some of the most successful hubbes who make 20-30 dollars are day are up past 50 dollars now if they were affected by the massive traffic increase yesterday.
    
    However, this is only my assumption according to current traffic trends. I made about 6 times as much money yesterday than I normally do.
    
    I'm so excited I can not write, but need to take advantage of this, I would be a fool not too.
    
    Ryankett's latest hub about Amazon also makes a valid point. I advise anyone to check his hub out.

       Laura - reactivating threads this old can be a problem - people don't realize this is very (VERY) outdated information. Perhaps you can start another thread and ask for an official (and updated) response on this. But since earnings are confidential, that may not be something they'll share, other than maybe generalities.
       
       It's against the site's TOS for us to personally reveal our earnings, although I know there are some threads that go into that.  I don't know how long you've been on the site, but three years ago (this thread is that age) the site still advertised some very healthy earnings from longtime writers here.  Panda and Penguin hit sites like HubPages very hard, so times have changed.
