Whether your creating hubs for the pleasure of writing or to make money we all have the same goal, and that is to get as much views/traffic to our pages as possible,

Some people spend a lot of time producing some exceptional hubs that will get many views but to gain the full potential some times it is worth spending a little time promoting your work, After doing the hard work of creating you hub you need to get as many people to view your work and hopefully vote for it, as well as noticing the adverts, One simple piece of advice is to take time reading other pages and becoming fans/friends with the authors, by being friendly and commenting on other members work you should find people will do the same back in return, The more fans/friends you have in the community the more views your work will get, this is simple but effective advice.

At the bottom of your hub were the vote up button is there is a button labeled Share it! By clicking the link a box comes up with a list of sites that you can join to share your work, This is worth trying.

Another effective way to increase traffic to your page is by searching for forums on the Internet that relate to your article, And by posting to the forum with a question that is easy for people to answer, you can discretely post the http:// address of your hub into the question, The key is to find a relevantforum and to use your hub link in a way that people will be happy to answer and hopefully visit your hubpage, However try not to blatantly spam, For example with a hub about hot Chili peppers you can search for gardening forums, Then by signing up to as many as possible for free you can make a post asking a question for tips for growing them with a link to your hub, A tip of advice, If you do decide to join many forums I would recommend setting up a different email address specifically for this purpose as you will not want all the replies filling up your inbox, This advice can be used for nearly any subject as you can find forums for free on any subjects.

A good site that i will recommend for sharing blogs, videos and pictures is SheToldMe.com, It's similar to Stumbledupon and mixx in that you can vote for articles and share them, However it also earns you money in the same way that hubpages does, On every page you create your AdSense adds will be displayed 100% of the time, when those adds are clicked you earn money in your AdSense account, And that is before you start earning for the links in your hub, you will find a link for this site pasted below.

The benefits from spending a little time creatively promoting your work can be huge and will increase your income and article popularity
