Say no to The Scammers

The Real Experts

Question:

Who are the best people to give advice about writing succesful hubpages?

Answer:

The Hubpages Authors who are making hubpages successful for themselves, not only are they finding success on hubpages but they freely share their advice with everyone on hubpages and have created the hubs that I will be linking to on this page.


Why Create A Free Guide?

Before I begin, It is not my intention to make money from this page, on the contrary it is to try and stop other people making money from innocent people who are trying to make a little extra money writing on the internet.

Beware of The Scammers

There are a few web sites and eBooks out there in internet land offering the promise of how to be successful on Hubpages, offering expert help and advice and of course promising riches by showing you how, for a small fee usually $25 - $30 and they are so generous that for a little extra payment you can have the distribution rights too and try and make a little extra cash selling it on to other people.

Most of the people who have written these guides and eBooks are only trying to get money from gullible people like you or I who need the afore mentioned $25 - $30 to feed our families, but spend the money hoping that it will reap great rewards.

If you know where to look you can find all of the information that these scam merchants provide free of charge, it just takes a little effort, patience and perseverance.

On this page you will find that all of the work has been done for you all you have to do is click on the links that this page points to, to find the information that you are looking for.

To keep this page short the Ultimate Guide to Hubpages is a series of links to pages written by real people who have found success on hubpages and share their experience freely with everyone on the hubpages site.


Top Tips

copied material will get your hubs flagged, write your own articles, make them informative and high quality, this can't be stressed enough, do not copy and paste your articles from other websites, if another author doesn't find it hubpages will, and your hub will be punished with no follow tags and a drastic lowering of your hubscore.

The Hubpages Guide to Hubpages

This Ultimate guide takes you through the various stages of hubpages from sign up to making the most money that you can from your work, The links on this page will take you through a series of tips and tutorials and some great advice written by some of my fellow hubbers including myself.

So where do you start when making an ultimate guide to a website, at the very beginning sounds like a good Idea if you are not a member already SIGN UP and create an account. it is so easy to sign up and it only takes about a minute.

1)Enter your user name. 2)Enter your email address.

3)Enter your password. 4) Confirm your password.

5) Type in the numbers and letters that you see in the picture

6) Tick the box, "I have read and understand HubPages' terms of use."

Click on create my account and you are ready to go.

nothing more to it.

Now that you have created your account you can then get on to adding your profile, and adding your revenue sharing and creating your first hub, Hubpages provide a fantastic step by step guide which will help you through the entire process.

The step-by-step guide also gives some great advice on how to get traffic to your Hubs.


Top Tip

Alot of people think that they can write one hub leave it overnight and find that they have become a success, it doesn't work that way. It takes time and persistence unless you fluke it but keep activly writing and the cash will eventually follow.

The key to success is to become an active member of the site, post in the forums, answer hub requests, comment in other peoples hubs, the more active you become on the site the more your work will be seen by other hubpages authors. this helps to increase your hubscore which also helps keep your hubs visible on the main page.

Hub author Misha is a great example of this, although he has only created six hubs, he is a very active member of the Hubpages Community and his high hubscore is mainly due to this and the high quality of his pages.

The Hubpages Authors Guide to Hubpages

Hubscore

One of the most frequently asked questions by new authors to hubpages is "How does the hub score work?"

No one but Hubpages knows the exact answer but Darkside provides us with a great guide with quotes from Hubpages staff. in this hub and also provides great advice In the four part series of Hubs How Hubpages Works

Getting Visitors to your Hubs

After creating your first hub, the most difficult part is getting people to read your work, SunSeven seems to have mastered this problem having had over 1 million visitors to her pages, here she provides an excellent article with plenty of links to help you to increase the number of visitors to your pages.

Hub Author Stubbs also provides this valuable information for attracting visitors to your hubs.

How much Money can you make?

Hubpages using a programme called Yieldbuild are always experimenting with the ad layouts on our pages and at the moment it is working great, most Hubbers have seen a sharp increase in their earnings over the past few weeks I wrote THIS HUB a few months ago detailing how much I was making on average through hubpages alone, since that page my earnings have almost doubled.

Some Hubbers make over $2000.00 each and every month but they work harder on marketing their hubs than I do.

Search Engine Optimisation

Getting visitors to your site also heavily relies on the search engines, the closer your pages are to the front pages of search the more visits your pages will recieve, Mark Knowles shows how he got his hubs onto the first page of Google in this informative and well written hub.

Keyword Research

keyword research is another valuable resource to know about and this very informative hub by Hoodala is a great guide to finding the correct keywords for your pages.

I won't lie to you, making money on Hubpages is difficult but by producing Original and good high quality content, you set yourself on the road to success, dedication and Good marketing of your pages is vital if you want to earn a good income from your work.

Jimmy -great hub and I believe anyone looking for get rich schemes is leaving them vulnerable to be taken advantage of.

Wasn't it Edison who said "1% Inspiration, 99% Perspiration" - lots of people do the 1% and forget the 99%. :)

Looking forward to learning more myself.

"There are a few web sites and eBooks out there in internet land offering the promise of how to be successful on Hubpages..."

Powerful words. You can substitute "eBay" for "Hubpages", and the adice you give is the same.

It's not buying the $39.99 "Secrets to Earning Billions on eBay" that'll get you there. It's the hard work, perseverence, community participation, the willingness to read everything (that's free!) on the subject, and the ability to pick yourself up from your mistakes and move on that will give you a good shot at success on eBay. Looks like the same is true for Hubpages.

Great hub with excellent links and practical, helpful advice!

Jimmy,

You can delete this comment after you read it but in response to this article I did a hub about Keyword research that other people have been asking me for. I hope that you feel it would be a good inclusion to this hub and also hope that you will ad it to the list of resources. You can see it at http://hubpages.com/hub/keyword-research and decide if it is worthy of inclusion to your great list of resources. Thanks for the consideration, article and motivation.

This is a great reference, Jimmy! I hate to see people getting scammed for information that is really free, if you take the time to look for it. You have made that easy! :)

A good campaigning hub. Lots of us are mainly here for fun, with the money a very secondary consideration. Still, it does no harm to join adsense, ebay, amazon, and enjoy the occasional meal out on the proceeds. Most hobbies don't offer this!

Jimmy,

Good hub. I imagine you didn't write this hub to earn any money right? Of course not, who would dare do that? Some authors/writers, like myself, have written informative ebooks and have sold them for yes...$29.95 because I would rather spend my time writing and selling an ebook than promoting my hubs or AC articles. In all honesty, marketing is boring to me, I like writing, not convincing people I can write.

I don't know, you cast a wide net by saying that anything found in any ebook about HP can be found for free on the net. That is not true, you can't find my 20 years of writing experience or what I have learned on HP, on the net for free. You can for $29.95 though. You might think I am flaming or completely disagreeing with you, not so. If what you say is true then you should be able to list all the ebooks that you have read that you know for a fact are shit, and why they are.

Or you are generalizing, which is probably the case. You're right, there are a lot of scams out there. Much of the information offered in some of the books and courses can be found for free elsewhere.

I am not trying to stir you up, really, just don't think there is anything wrong with selling someone a book, that's all. Thanks for the time.
