Like I said in a previous post, this is the first time I've ever done anything like Hubpages, and signing up for Google Adsense after publishing my tenth Hub was a bit overwhelming. I'm not going into this with the expectation of making much money at all; I'm mainly writing to increase my audience, share my ideas, have fun and connect to others. However, the prospect of actually having the ability to earn something from my writing has me excited, nervous and kind of, well, overwhelmed. I made a PayPal account for the first time, another thing I have no experience in, and I'm nervous about that too.
Hopefully I'll be approved and I'll be able to activate my account. Does anyone have any advice or is there anyone else in a similar situation? I'd love to hear from you!
Good luck! You may have to wait until you have 20 hubs before they accept you into the program, so don't be discouraged if you get reject on your first application. For what it's worth, I applied 3 times before I was approved.
Best of luck! I've been brainstorming like crazy the past week trying to improve my writing and come up with content so I can finally apply.
It's so good to read that others are new to all of this. I wrote my very first hub and was terrified to publish it! Now I too am thinking about my next Hub and how to use the advertising space. I hope that we all are successful in ways that are important to each of us. For me it's about writing, but I would be lying if I said money is not important.

This is a grim realization for me.I have 29 featured hubs that are generally considered to be of reasonable quality. I applied for an AdSense account over a year ago, and since then I've had nothing. When I...

I'd like to consider myself an asset to the hubpages community. Although I began relatively recently, I have over a dozen published hubs, and I even won the rising star award for one of them. I have applied to Google Adsense multiple times, and I have always been rejected. I would...

I've had an AdSense account for around a year now and have made some staggering money, folks-about 7 bucks, I think. The 'I think' part is there because no matter what I do I cannot sign in any longer to the account. I've gone round and round with the forms Google has available and it says...

I've reviewed the instructions and have been declined again. I joined hubpages in January of 2013, and wrote 4 hubs. In the last few days I have written 6 more hubs. All of my hubs are featured and I have ten total. I hoped that 10 featured hubs would be enough. I am in the...

Hello there,So I just started hubbing, but I've gotten out of the bootcamp phase. I applied for Google Adsense and was disapproved - twice. I read all the possible problems that I could fix that was sent to my e-mail, but my articles seem to abide by all of them. What do I do? Concerned,W.A
