How To Make More Money From Hubpages
I recently published the Hub How To Make Money From Hubpages that went into detail about the 6 different ways that you can earn money from writing on the Hubpages platform and the best methods to use for each of the advertising affiliates.
Since publishing that Hub I have received a ton of emails from people who have recently joined Hubpages asking various questions regarding where the money I earn comes from, which type of hubs make the most money, and the most asked question of all why are my hubs not making money?
I write this article in response to the emails because if I were to answer each one individually it would take me a very long time and I would be repeating myself over and over again.

Q1. How Much Does Jimmy Earn on Hubpages
A popular question I get from new Hubbers is How Much do you earn?
I am the first to admit that I am not amongst the top earners on Hubpages but I do recieve a regular monthly income from my writing on the site.
At the time of writing I am earning between $300-$400 every month from Hubpages and their affiliates.
Google is my top earner every month sending me out a check for approximately $200.
Ebay is next in line and my paypal account recieves around $50-$60 each month.
Amazon earns me approx $30-$40 a month
Kontera earns around $20-$30 each month
URL Trackers account for almost 30% of my total earnings from Hubpages.
Of course some months are better than others but the above are my average earnings from Hubpages.
Over the past couple of months I have not been very active on Hubpages and because of this I expected my earnings from the site to drop, to my surprise my earnings have remained approximateley at the same levels from each of the affiliated advertisers.

If I Want To Earn What Should I Write About?
The Million Dollar Question is: What should I write about to make money?
There are a million topics to choose from and millions of websites out there on each topic, finding a niche topic to write about gets more and more difficult every day.
Instead of asking yourself What should I write about that will make me money?you should be asking, What do I know that I can write about?
It doesn't really matter which topic you choose to write about, it is the content of your article or hub that is most important, for example, if you decide to write an article about how to make money on the Internet, you will find millions of articles on the same topic on an internet search, if you click on a few of them you will find that most of them contain similar information worded slightly differently.
Unique Content
Writing the same information as everyone else has on a topic will get you nowhere fast, you have to try and look at your chosen subject from a different perspective, you have to write an article that stands out from the crowd, an article that is unique well written and well researched.
Earning a Regular Income From Hubpages
To earn a regular income from your writing on Hubpages rather than a quick Buck or two you have to think about people and their Internet surfing habits, at Christmas time, for example, people around the world search the Internet for topics related to the time of the year, therefore if you write mainly Christmas themed hubs your earnings from visitors will rise sharply but fall away after the festive season is over.
If you write a story about a hot item in the News, then you will maybe earn a few dollars for a few days until that story becomes a thing of the past as a new hot News Item takes precidence over yours.
The secret of writing success is finding a topic that people search for on a daily basis, for example, Topics such as pregnancy, money, sport, relationships, birthdays, clothes, how to guides, health, beauty and many other topics are always hot on the search engine top search lists.
Where is my Money?
Why Are My Hubs Not Making Any Money?
I get this question almost on a daily basis from Hubbers who joined recently and the simple answer is Patience, to make money from your hubs you need to get visitors, to get visitors you need to get a good search engine ranking, to get a good search engine ranking you need to build up a reputation for good quality writing with Hubpages and the search engines, The more quality well written original Hubs that you write the more your reputation goes up and your hubs will get listed quicker on the search engines, I have seen some of my recent hubs at the top of Google search within 20 minutes of hitting the publish now button.
It can take a few months before you earn enough from your Hubs to recieve a payment from the advertisers 9 months is about average for regular Hubbers to recieve their first Google cheque.
When I joined Hubpages it took almost 3 months to get my first click on a Google ad, and I earned a grand total of 11 cents from that one click, after that first click I started getting clicks every day, and after a further 6 months I recieved my first cheque from adsense for $103.20 it took another 3 months till my next cheque to arrive for $122.48, every month since that second cheque I have recieved a cheque from Google.
A little patience and writing hubs on a regular basis and you should soon see the money.
Keywords
Keyword research and finding out which keywords are worth the most can be a complete waste of time and effort, Mesotheliomia is one of the highest paid keywords on the Internet, but because of this everyone and their grandpa's are writing useless information on the subject and the Internet is flooded with articles related to the topic, getting listed on the search engines for the term Mesotheliomia is almost impossible.
To make the most of Keywords you should write your article and then research keywords that are relevant to it.
(DISCLAIMER)
The methods above work for me and I make a good regular income from Hubpages using them, this does not guarantee that the same methods will work for you.

So appreciate you sharing what you know, Jimmy. Thanks. MM
Hey Jimmy another great hub! Congratualations on your earning that's a nice chuck:)
Also I like the keyword advice you gave right here - "To make the most of Keywords you should write your article and then research keywords that are relevant to it." That's the easiest way to do it!
Good stuff Jimmy - you give me hope that one of these days I'll have monthly checks. I'm definitely writing first and researching keywords later :-)
hi jimmy thnks for u r info , i am facing a difficulties in keyword selection will u plz provide some good free keyword tools it will be helpful to most of the people who r beginners to hubpages. once again thnxs for gud info.
Great info - I have been here 3 months and so far earned about $8 from Google Adsense, a few Amazon referrals have been made but not converted and I was rejected by both eBay and Kontera ... but they don't seem to be the best earners anyway. For me Google Adsense has made a good start and I expect it to grow; Also trackers URLS are great and i'm slowly making more use and more sense of them. Thanks Jimmy.
Good Hub and it helps me measure potential earnings
Thanks Jimmy!
There's some valuable information in your hub. I will continue to write and be patient.
Hey Jimmy, another good one from you :)
Except for keyword research though - you obviously don't understand it at all :)
Thanks jimmy for share your knowledge. I would like to know if you started recieving clicks from just the content or the amount of traffic. I haver noticed as I publish more hubs my traffic increases.
Thanks for all of the info. I have a handle on most of this just, can't find the time to write with a full time job and 3 busy young boys to take care of. But, it is slowly working out. I am wondering how the URL trackers work. IF you could add some info on them that would be awesome.
It is interesting to see just how much you make out of your trackers. I have set up a few, but at the present time have yet to get any signups. Hopefully I can get a few soon though as it seems to be a really good way of making additional money.
ok, I admit it, I'm technologically challenged. What the hell's a url tracker?
Thanks for the hub. I guess patience helps if the object of writing is to make money. Getting accepted by Ebay. What does that take? I'm one of those that was rejected. So you will see no Ebay ads on my hubs.
Good stuff Jimmy, looks like you're doing pretty good. I'd really suggest to anyone that wants to make money on Hubpages (or any website) is to focus on wiriting very good, very specific hubs and then social bookmarking them and writing articles elsewhere to link back to your hub.
Good going. Its great to see you share your earnings info. I hope one day I can acheive this level of earnings on hubpages.
Hi Jimmy, great stuff as usual. You may have put a few people off who thought they might retire rich in a few months though!
Very interesting with solid information. Enjoyed the read.
I was wondering how people got paid. You did a good job describing the basics. I like reading the articles but noway have the time you need to make money doing this, I am focusing on something else. It would be interesting to write a short article and see how others respond.
I have sent a friend who is a very good writer some e mails of the articles on the share button, to see if she would join and start writing but she never gets the e mails, do you know why?
Thanks for the good info here. I have been doing hubpages for awhile mostly to promote my business. But I am getting ready to start some private endeavors that I hope to monetize and get some extra cash from.
Thanks Jimmy for sharing your earnings and your advice. This is all very sound advice and yes, patience is key!!
Thumbs up!
Nice, honest answers. I appreciate that
That is Really good my dear Congrats . How could i increase My earning in adsense
Happy earning
Another well put-together Hub! Anyone who takes the time to look at your collection of Hubs can see that you do work! There are so many 'teaser' articles and ads on the Internet that suggest it is possible to make money by doing nothing. (Of course it would be nice, but...)
Jimmy
the bit about 'keywords' is a revalation! 'keywords' have actually stopped me from writing articles because I was looking for 'keywords' and then writing crappy articles based on the 'keywords' instead of writing from my heart.
I am now going to do what you suggest and write my first Hub! then I will find some 'keyword's to fit my article!
Thanks again for your helpful hub
Prosperity to us all
David
for hubwords. couldn't figure how to write
Thanks for sharing, Jimmy, you always give such good advice. I love to drop by one of your hubs every so often for tips.
Thanks, this is one of the more useful articles I have read on HubPages.
I enjoyed reading this Hub Page and I think it will be useful information to me in my efforts to write good Hub Pages. Short, but full of information!
Thank you,
Thanks Jimmy for super info!
How To Make More Money From Hubpages
very good, I support you, come on , welcome to my hub!
Practical advice and suggestions, good hub.
a nice one .thanks jimmy
Thank you for being honest about your earnings on Hubpages. That is so rare. On YouTube there is some guy who calls himself "MarkMillionaire" - Yeah Right!
We all know that making good money online takes time, good planning and patience.
I really appreciated your words of wisdom here. Thanks.
Wow, I have a long ways to go. I'm going to check out the first hub that you did about monetizing hubs too, as I find this not only potentially profitable, but very interesting reading, as well.
Thanks.
Very good hub! Very informative! Great job. Please let me know how you like my hubs. Thanks.
hi very good .please tell me how increase impression in ads.
Thanks, this is very helpful information..I can definitely use it in the future.
another good hub very informative
Sincerely you are a gift to us all who have read this. Visit my page and tell me what you think about it. Thank you.
Thanks Jimmy for super info! excellent hub
Interesting article. I'm just here having fun practicing my writing. My sentiments are with the guy that says he works full-time and has a family. I don't have as much time as I would like to write, but some very useful info here for perhaps future endeavors. Thank you.
great hubs jimmy. i will make some dollars too
great information jimmy thanks , its always good to learn more and i am also new here :)
This was very helpful information, especially for a newbie to Hubpages. I find that when you write about something you're passionate about it just flows. Thank you again for this great article. Although, I still don't know anything about URL trackers?!?
Good share, helpful and informative as usual!
Very good, i have learned to mush. your article is real informative, clear, and thank you for share with us. this is a great article for any hubbers
More good advice, jimmy!!! I think I will still have to wait a while for that first check, but then, I was kind of absent for about three of the nine months I have been here. That might have something to do with it.
Thanks Jimmy, It's nice to know how a little hard work can put money in your pocket. This is a very well written article that gets to the point. Have a great week!
good ,
ilearn lot from this
Nice one. I love reading your hubs. keep it up!
Important points you've raised: Patience, Unique Content and unlike Misha, I endorse your viewpoint on Keywords.
Thanks Jimmy. This hub is so informative. Im glad about the keyword advice. Writing first, then search for the appropriate keywords.
But im lost about URL's. I will lookout in your other hubs to see if i can get info on this.
GodBless.
excellent and useful information
Very interesting hub with great information. Two months in and I just earned my first $.05. Also my CPM just went up to $3.89. I think that's a good thing.
I always read your make money hugs with interest. Can you take a look at parternshipinparenting - my site just went down to 0 from the google gods and I have no clue as to why. If you have an idea...feel free to email me.
Good hub and thanks for the tips!!!
good article ,
i think you can earn
Very informative indeed. I really enjoyed this article and learned from it. Keep them coming!
Very well written step by step guide. I agree with you that it takes a lot of patience before things start working. Thanks for sharing.
Great hub, great tips, thanks for sharing with us :)
Thanks I will do it
I am new to hubpages and this is very good tips.
New to hubpages and thank you for sharing valuable information us.
I just signed up last night, haven't even written my first hub yet. This was helpful to a newbie like me. Thanks.
Thanks for the useful information. I really appreciate how open you are about your earnings.
I agree that patience is very important as it has taken me a year to be getting my first Google payment! Excellent advice in this hub, Jimmy!
Thanks for a very good article. Answer some of my questions.
Jimmy
Thisd is excellent. Simple, practical advice. Not too technical. There is no big secret to earning - just patience, good content and common sense!
I make way more money writing for ehow then I have here.When I first signed up here I tried for months,but did not make much,now I make more in one month doing nothing then all the money I made here put together.I think I just don't know how to use adsense right.
Thanks for sharing your info with all of us. And thanks for sharing how much time it can take and talking about the patience it takes.
Excellent hub, everything covered nicely.
The forum contains a bunch of threads started by hubbers with a mere ONE hub asking "why I'm not earning hundreds $$$?" I'd say it takes several months of dedicated hubbing (mastering to compile nice hubs, think of headings, subtitles, etc) and SE promotion to see tangible results.
But when the money starts rolling in, it's a pleasure to look at stats that seem to be independent of what I'm currently doing. Even if I don't log in to Hubpages for a week, it doesn't affect my earnings ;-)
Thanks Jimmy for the info. Nice hub.
Good article and informative too.
thanks
Thanks for sharing your earnings. I really appreciate your open ness in this regard. Thanks for the advice.
I wanna write some articles about software. How should i do?
Informative really. It rang a bell in my mind! Thanks
Hi Jimmythejock,
Info about keyword is unique. Thumbs up.
Indian Lady
Thanks Jimmy - as someone who is new to Hubpages it is great to get these tips - thanks very much
Jimmy, thanks for the great information. I am new to Hubpages and this is good info to learn a little about making money with your writing. Nice job on the monthly income, every little bit helps.
This is an excellent hub that really helps people see what to expect with earnings. Thanks Jimmy. -Journey*
Thanks for the info Jimmy

Thanks for the well-written, informative article. This is the first time I've seen anyone be specific about their online earnings. I appreciate it.
How much time are you putting in per week on hubpages?
I am just a few days into this and your post was exactly what I needed. Having all the information summed up in a compact easy to understand post was perfect! Thank you so much, I really do appriciate it!
An interesting article.
I tried a few hubs, but had no earnings so took my 14 years of writing experience elsewhere. Even though one of my hubs still draws thirty hits a day from Google search, there were never any 'clicks'. It is obviously to do with content, not number of hub-hits.
You've found the right niche. Good luck with it.
I have just joined and found your article really helpful, I hope I can be as successful.
What a great Hub will follow your advise and hopfully will be able to make some money, will check out your other Hubs
usefull information
I have learned a lot with this hub. Hopefully my cash will start flowing in!
Thank-you from Hubpages newbie!
Great advice!
Thanks Jimmy. ^_^
*}Peace{*
thank you for the information...it helps..
Thanks ... Great hub ...
some very use information, thanks! it has given me alot to think about
great information as always thanks jimmy
I just wanted to drop a line, and tell you that especially being new to hub pages, I found this hub extremely helpful. Keep up the good work, looking forward to reading more that you to offer.
Thanks, Jimmy, this is very informative, helpful and interesting, especially for a new hubber lke me.
Extremely inspiring hub. I get to learn a few tricks. I do make 50$+ from adsense on hub pages.
Thank you so much. I needed to know that. Great info!
Nice hub. It's always good to see how others are doing, so that you can set up your own expectations...realistic ones!
Great hub, it shows the diversity of hubbers and how they achieve success. I personally always do keyword research first and then find a topic that is related. If I advertize for Ebay or Amazon, I find products to fit my content. I like to see what the searchers are hungry for first, then I feed them with the right information. I do wish I had more time to devote to hubpages, but I do try to add at least one hub per month. I am a slow writer but it does pay off in the end. Good luck to all new hubbers and success to you.
Hey Jimmy,can u check out my hubs??could u find the problems with it??
i'm not earning much from it!!
I agree, quality content with good back links is the key. Some of my hubs are pretty consistent but some dont even get visitors ever. A unique article is the way to go.
I will implement these ideas...thanks
I like your article because this is realistic.
i get what i need.
Hi Jimmy,
A wonderful, informative Hub that is sure to encourage others. You've truly blazed a trail with your Hubs and helped others to see that hard work and effort pay off.
Thanks Jimmy,
The time frames you mentionI think are quite important. Many write a few hubs - wait a few weeks and...nothing. So they quite. If you are consistent - patient and original then things should work out.
All good sense. I've been here two months and made a bit more than a dollar. Nothing from Amazon and Ebay. Not sure if I have the right niche but my writing here seems popular. One day I will fold my hubs into a book or three and seek a publisher or self publish.
But yeah, it has to be a long haul thing. Once my writing makes enough to fund me and my research, the research will inspire my writing and I will get a virtuous loop.
A very great wealth of information. Thank you for sharing this.
Hey Jim - What can I say that hasn't been said already? GREAT HUB! I was so frustrated with Hubs, I was about to go over to the darkside! Thank you Obewonkanobi - You were my only hope!!!!!!
thanks dear.. i like it very much
Thanks for the insights and suggestions... this should be fun

Hey Jimmy,
A very informative and friendly Hub that is written so well, as if it is addressed individually for new beginners like me!
I haven't done a good job but published one hub just to see what it is like...still struggling with how to go about the advertising stuff though, I think, I should be writing some good hubs rather than getting lost in here..from this info to that info...!
really useful information for me.. thanks
Thanks Jimmythejock. I will take this great info and run with it!
Jimmy
I have been writing hubs for two months and have not earned any money,yet. It is good to hear that others have had to wait patiently. Thanks for your advice.
thanks for sharing jim
Thanks for the interesting statistics. Do you remember approximately how many hubs you have written before you got your first $100 AdSense check?

Learned quite a bit from this hub, Jimmy. Earning money isn't my No. 1 motive for writing, but it's good to know how it's done. Thanks for the primer.
