With HubPages you will make money online by publishing your articles together with revenue sharing ads from Google AdSense, Amazon, eBay and others. While HubPages does all this for you automatically, you can concentrate on creating some nice articles instead. You can write about almost anything you like as long as your topics meet the guidelines.

With HubPages you can try out different writing techniques and learn which topics or what writing style attract the most attention.The number one thing to consider when writing articles is high quality, rich content that can actually add value to your readers. Many website owners and blog writers skip this part, or at least they jump through this phase very quickly, in order to post some links to affiliate programs they´re in or likewise. This is one of the first and biggest mistake you can make if you´re looking to make money online from writing. It doesn´t really matter how good you are at promoting your site, if you can´t get your readers to return, you´ll find yourself in trouble later on. Another bad thing is that search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN and others will make a note of your poor content and give you a low search ranking. Sites with tons of links to other sites, sites with dynamic content that can be found elsewhere on the web, and sites with mostly pictures, videos etc and little text will suffer from this.

If content is king, then so is choosing the right keywords for your site. If you´re writing a text on how to "make money online" from writing articles (like I´m doing now), you would want to make sure that the keywords "make money online" actually will appear frequently in your text as these are the keywords of interest you´re aiming for. People who have an interest in making money online will find it much easier to find your website or articles on the world wide web, even if you´re not ranked among the top results of a search engine for instance. As we will discuss later on, a good linking strategy will get you very far, not only for boosting search engine results and visibility, but also to directly targeted traffic to your site or article.

Should you use your own website to promote your material or should you use a service like HubPages to publish content? Well, a more important question would be how to maximize both in your global linking strategy. As mentioned before, major search engines tend to rank sites with high quality and topic relevant inbound links higher than average. Linking to your website or blog from HubPages may produce fantastic results for your link strategy as HubPages often get indexed very quickly in search engines as well as provide good content.

Last, but certainly not least, you should not think of dollars first - text later. Have fun writing your HubPages... and the moolah will come in!
