The Experiment Is Over Time For The Real Jimmy To Shine

Do you want to make a living on the internet.? good for you I hope you manage to do so.

I on the other hand have decided as from today that I have had enough of it,

money has never been my motivation on the internet until I decided to run an experiment,to see if it was possible to make a living online using free sites that allow advertising or that pay you to write.

As of today the experiment is over, no more writing for high paying keywords.

I am going back to the way I used to write,things that interest me,back to the jokes,back to writing about the things That I love,

I dont enjoy chasing money it isn't me,if you want to make your living im afraid you will have to experiment for yourself.

I didnt make any real money anyway lol, and if you want the honest truth I made more money before the experiment started than after.

Advice:

If you want to make money on the Internet:

1) original content

2) Traffic (digg,reddit and dei.ic.ous drive visitors to your pages).

3) Choose your tag words wisely they reflect the ads you get from google.

4) Add a title if you put a picture or a video to your site.

5) A blank white page with text doesn't look good add some color,even if you are limited to blue and grey your page stands out,add pictures or video or both.

6) Dont plaster your page with Ebay AND Amazon ads position them wisely and dont let them spoil your story.

7) The hubpages Ideas bank is an Ideal place to find a money spinning story, these ideas are taken from web searches where not alot is written on the chosen subject if you write a good well researched piece on these subjects your page has a great chance of being number one on all of the search engines and that generates alot of traffic.

8) As I have discovered over the past few weeks write for yourself dont worry about the money if your story is good, the money will take care of it's self.

9) if you want to make some money there is a hub written by Webber that if everyone from hubpages took part could be a real money spinner check it out http://hubpages.com/hub/How_Digg_Users_Could_Create_a_100_Million_Company

10)Hub pages is still in its infancy as it becomes better known and its reputation grows,more and more people will visit Hubpages,with that growth will come alot more readers and authors,instead of 100 visitors to your pages every day you could be looking more at 1000 or even 5000 visitors maybe even more,this will breath new life into your hubs and more and more advertising revenue will be earned.instead of a few cents in adsense ever day it will be a few dollars.

11)The final and most important piece of advice I can give is to have fun and enjoy your writing, dont think of the money, it will come when you start getting a regular readership.

I will still add the advertisments to my pages if they get clicked all well and good if not i will still enjoy my writing,.....jimmy

What a great hub! Very, very true. I agree that it's a lot more gratifying to write about something that interests you and to enjoy the process. I've loved making the hubs that I've made, and would have stopped if I didn't like it. You're right that high-quality on whatever topic you like is more important than anything else, and the search sites are going to ignore anything that's not original. You're one of the authors I've come to expect interesting stuff from, Jimmy.

Jimmy, I think you have it right. Do something you love and then let the money follow. I made a Vegas Hotel Hub and it's my biggest earner, but I enjoy writing about Ideas much more. Great post.

lol my vegas hubs i think have made about 6cents between the 2 of them paul.the secret to earning good money from google adsense is for google to tell us which of our ads are paying out but i dont suppose that will ever happen lol.....jimmy

glad to hear it, jimmy. I think you're right. people read stuff that interests them. I'm much more interested in your son's spider poem and your scotland stories than common how-tos.
