Hubbing for money
TIRED OF THE CONMEN
Sick and tired of the scammers and conmen who would sell their granny for a profit, I have decided to come clean and tell you how much I make a month on hubpages and which type of hubs I make the most money from, the honest truth and I wont be charging a single cent for any of this information.
Let me add that nine times out of ten I do not write for the purpose of making money I write because I want to, hubpages gives me a chance to write about things I love and money isn't even in my thoughts when I write them.
I do try to write a couple of hubs a month with the intent of getting clicks for money and I do make some money from them.
Hubbing For Money
I have written 552 hubs to date this one when published will be 553, and it may come as a surprise to you that I make money from less than 10% of those hubs.
Having published so many hubs it is difficult to keep track of which hubs are making money and which ones aren't because you are only allowed 200 channels on Google, but Google is not the only advertiser that you can use on hubpages, Ebay and Amazon are also available for making a little bit more, not as much as Google but every little bit helps and it isn't hard work to add the capsules to your pages.
How do I keep track?
I change my URL channels on a regular basis I have 20 to 30 showing at a time and I compare what I make from those channels with my overall daily earning report. I may make $2.00 from my url channels in a day and $5.00 from the ones I have not added to channels.
So Jimmy, what hubs do you make money from?
Ok let us cut to the chase, this is the part that you have all been waiting for.
I wont name the hubs but I will name the types of hubs that I earn the most revenue from.
Beauty products
Anti aging cream and beauty product reviews around $10.00 a month
Reality TV
In the UK at the moment I'm a celebrity get me out of here is in full swing I am updating the page every day and I have made almost $20 dollars this month from it. When the show finishes next week I expect the earnings to stop until next year when I update it for 2008.
My series on world war 1
brings in a regular income of approximately $10-15 a month.
Also my series of hubs related to teen romance advice nets me about the same.
The four seasons
A mixture of hubs seasonal e.g Christmas, Easter and other special event days bring in an income when the time of year comes around.
Some hubs bring money all year round whilst others are seasonal.
News events
These were an unwanted source of income and also a very unexpected source of income, I tried to put the ads to low in the options menu but when I saw that they were directing people to sympathetic sites I changed them to high. Help find Madeleine and Man arrested in Madeleine case have made me more money than any other hubs I have written an I am so not proud of that fact.
The rest of the money I make is from other random hubs a few cents from this hub and a few cents from that because I have so many it is difficult to say which ones exactly that the clicks come from.
Don't rely too much on Google trends, Ebay pulse or, Yahoo buzz to make money from hubpages, these statistics are mainly short lived and only last a day or 2 before the traffic sources dry up ending your chance of any earnings.
How much do I make on hubpages ?
My earnings will come as a shock to most hubbers who know me because they think I make a lot more.
It varies from month to month, but my Adsense earnings are usually between $120.00 and $150.00 a month.
From Ebay I earn between $3-5 a month
On Amazon I earn between £3-5 which works out at around $7.00 a month.
I have all of my account payments on hold at the moment and letting the earnings build up for a while.
My three children will be in for an extra special surprise when I do decide to cash it in.....jimmy

Thanks, Jimmy. You're doing a lot better than I am.
Thanks - now are you going to make this an ebook and avaiable to affiliates to market ROTFL! This should be in the FAQ for new users!
I change my URL channels on a regular basis I have 20 to 30 showing at a time and I compare what I make from those channels with my overall daily earning report. I may make $2.00 from my url channels in a day and $5.00 from the ones I have not added to channels.
What is an URL and how or where will I find reference to them?
I endeavoured to join another Hub producer this morning and it kept asking for my URL. Are you able to explain all this language to me Please.
Incidentally, I use to sell Gidgets for 13c per day. It Gave me a Volvo 6 cylinders car, which I Paid off in 6 months: Sent me to Hawaii twice and all over Australia and New Zealand. I was never home, but you can not have everything in life. Good hub. Who Cares about money. You need it, but should not chase it. Glory is better. They remember you longer
Jimmy, it made my day to read this. You make HubPages a better place and I wish we had more people like you. Thank you for all your contributions.
We love it when people make Hubs to share information, share interests, to help people out and from time to time to make a few bucks.
Thanks again for sharing your experience. And for helping everyone else out.
Best,
Paul Edmondson
HOORAY JIMMY!!
I have to admit, I may not have the best hubs out there, but I love this site and am glad there are people like you around telling it like it is.
:)
Glad you shared with us. I, too, joined to share information with people who want to know.
I've gained a few bucks in my pocket but didn't expect to be paid anything. So the money is like a sunny day in mid-winter.

Ahhhhhhhh, how I LOVE HubPages!!
You guys are just all the BEST!! I soooooooo appreciate the honest numbers!! I feel incredibly blessed just to be in an Internet circle with you guys, even if I am just on the fringes!!
My main motivation in writing is to contribute positive view points and encourage people to begin thinking more independently again!! My close second is to make a base living!!
So my goal is to make at least $3,000 per month!! Regularly!! I haven't quite figured it out yet, heck, I haven't even figured out how to add all the bells and whistles yet, but with your help I will!!
For those interested in a few more bucks, is there anyone interested in setting goals together to see how fast we can get there?? We could start with $1,000 per month??
GREAT Hub Jimmy!! Great comments everyone!! Especially Paul!!
Hugs and Kisses and Blessings Always, Earth Angel!!
Wondering to see the mumber of Hubs You Having.
Thanks for sharing the information with Us
Regards
Jimmy, thanks for the hub. It made me say "Ohhh a honest approach at last". Thumbs Up..
Jimmy, read the entire page with enthusiasm and learnt something from it, just as I was loosing heart. Not everyone would be willing to share the information as there would be a rush to fork out similar hubs. But you know what they say "shairng is daring". Well done.....
Really now jimmy. That's extraordinary especially to make that extra
change without trying. I'm impressed. Thanks for the heads up
(thanks for appreciating my poem too)-smile.
thanks everyone for your very kind words, please beware of promises of mega bucks from scammers and con artists, who only make money by being paid by unfortunate people like you and me, for a load of marketing information that you can find free of charge on the Internet.
AspireNow it sounds like you could be one of the people i am talking about what makes your promises different from the others out there?
p.s notice i did not remove your comment from my post
take care everyone and happy hubbing...........jimmy
Thanks for your valuable advice,i will take cate of these tips in future.
Think of it a hobby, money will follow.
Hi Jimmy! I may delete 'em, but be darned if they're for sale! I have never heard of people trying to sell Hubs, so this is new to me. Rudra's advice is very good. Think of it as a hobby. None of mine have made money, but that's a fault of my own. I don't have marketing and SEO skills at all! Thanks for a great hub.
We have followed your hubs for some time....................
you are the best !!!!!
why not give jewelry articles a try..........

Never thought of making money...just having fun writing and reading hubs. Maybe when the pay hits a hundred per hub...maybe. Will it ever jimmy? Love your sharing ideas/hubs.
I started writing on the internet with the aim of making money but have found most promises are hollow - the nice thing about HubPages is that I've finally found a place where I can really enjoy creating Hubs instead of it being a chore - so the money suddenly isn't so important. Thanks for your honesty, JTJ!
Thanks for the effort in sharing. Keep it up!
Very useful, and thanks for sharing this! What you say here very much bears out my experience with writing on the Internet... the claims of "$1000s" are mostly empty promises. The only exception I can think of would be the early days of epinions.com, before they figured out that paying people 10 cents per page view was complete insanity... ah, those were the days, and there WERE people making $8000 a month. But this is now.
Thanks for being "real!"
Thanks for sharing this information about earning money on Hubpages.
This is a good conversation. I have almost 150 Hubs and make between $40-60 in Adsense. Here's the thing - I just write. I have not yet attempted to master SEO. It's on the list for 2008. I try to learn from Maddie Ruud because she does so well! Because let's face it, money is nice!
I'll be honest, when I found HubPages, I was looking for a way to make money. But, as I started writing, I noticed that even though I wasn't making a lot, I was happier and more fulfilled because I am now doing something I've dreamed about all of my life - writing and being read. To me that's worth more than money. (But of course when it comes, [the money], I sure won't turn it down!
Thanks Jimmy for the insight! As a newbie on HubPages, I've been scanning through the forums to get a feel for the process and have learned so much. Still very much a rookie though, so will be taking my time for the first few hubs.
Looking forward to your future hubs! Thanks again!
Hello Jimmy!
Thank you for the information.

Hi jimmy, thanks for the honesty. One gets a breath of fresh air when truth is handed over in a silver platter. :-) My friend introduced me to hubpages (we wanted to earn extra money) but I've discovered I'd like to just enjoy writing first and along the way learn how to earn. Thanks again!
Thanks for such a frank article! It made me feel better about my Hubbing. :)
Just an update. since the new add layout experiments started i have almost doubled the figures above thanks hubpages .....jimmy
nice article..good tips...will try it out
Great article. Great information.
Huppages is a way to vent and teach and hey if you make a buck even better. I did not know how hard it was to put thoughts on paper until I tried. It is more of a job than working in an office. But it is fun and informative. You give me hope on the money making aspect, I wish you the best of luck.
thanks for your comment Jean, just a little update, since the Launch of Kontera on hubpages I have beem making around a dollar a day from their ads .....jimmy
did you analyze why you are earning very less

Good info, thanks for sharing this. I'm sick of the cons too. Also, I don't think you should feel bad about your big money makers, as your original intent was not for profit.
