How To Write Content Online
Monetizing Hubs in the Begnning
First, I love HubPages.
I can, and do write for hours at a time for the sheer joy of writing. However I found myself struggling with aspects other than the writing when I first began writing on the HubPages site. Things like HubPages Earning Program, AdSense, Google, eBay and other means to monetize my account were very intimidating. Maybe I just wasn't getting it? How the heck does a Hubber gain all of the information and angles needed to get paid? I personally was more apt to spend my time finger dancing across my keyboard then I was searching for information regarding the 'how to' of making a buck writing online.
Am I lazy or just an artist?
I asked myself , "Am I lazy or just an artist?" Or are these synonyms for each other? Looking at things like I did, my brain wanted to go to one page that had a checklist of options to check or not to check. I was willing to fill in information windows and the likes, but it really was way to intimidating when I had to go from page to page, linking to this and to that, enter the URL information and all of the things I had no understanding for. It just seemed that if someone had very limited computer skills and needed to write, but also wanted to make a few shekels while doing so, that a check list would be available? I simply wanted to fill in 'yes' or 'no' and when done, KAZAM!! I would have monetize my account and all would have been good in online writing land.
What I found was this; it takes a little more then good writing to make a few dollars writing online articles.

Online Writers
Get Down To Some Real Facts
The truth is that true writers are artistic. We have a kind of "in our heads" approach to the world. We exude intellect (in most cases) and share needed data with the masses. Online writers:
- research so others don't have to
- tell stories so readers can imagine
- they reach inside themselves to recall deep-felt experiences so others can also feel
It is in our make-up and is usually what the writer does best. Why not make a little money at it, or even loads? Online writers deserve the reward for creating good quality work.
