Make Money Online Writing Articles or Blogs
86I tried searching today the phrase "make money online" using the Google Search Engine. It returned with 180 million webpage hits. That's a tremendous wealth of information about making money on the Internet.
Even if we assume that the majority of those webpages are simply useless garbage, duplicate and out-dated contents, say, only one percent (1%) are useful information, that still leaves us with 1.8 million of pages.
Now, if you are a beginner and want to try earning money online, you're in for a lot of reading. Since this article is about "make money online", I hope you don't get another page of garbage!
There are many ways of making money online but I will be writing about the two most popular methods, Google Adsense and Affiliate Marketing. These two methods use the same tool: a website writing platform.
You need a website where you can write blogs or articles and insert Google Adsense ads and Affiliate Marketing links or widgets.

Is content really the King when it comes to making money online?
See results without votingMake Money Online Writing Articles
Here are some of the ways of making money online from writing articles or blogs:
- Writing articles for other websites as a copywriter. You get paid a fixed amount of money for every article that you write.
- Writing articles at hubpages.com - HubPages inserts Google Adsense ads on your published articles and you earn money from these ads when visitors to your page click on the ads.
- Writing blogs at blogger.com - Similar to HubPages but you do the actual insertion of Google Adsense ads.
- Setup your very own website - You register your own domain, for example "myownblogsite.com", get a web hosting site to host your domain, and install a blogging software or any Content Management System (CMS) software. You are also responsible for placing ads on your website.
See details about this by reading, Make Money Online by Mark Knowles.
Make Money Online by Writing at HubPages
HubPages is one of the easiest writing platform for making money online. In HubPages, you can start writing at once as soon as you sign up. You won't have to go thru all the hassles of setting up a website, with its accompanying technical dificulties.
Writing at HubPages simply means typing your textual content on a text capsule. If you need to include a picture relevant to the topic you're writing, you upload the picture using a photo capsule. If you want to include a video clip, you use a video capsule. There's a lot of other capsules you can include on your content like the news capsule, the poll capsule, etc.
The main source of online money with HubPages is the Google Adsense ads. When someone clicks on the ads, you get a revenue share. And here is the most important difference between HubPages and with other writing platforms: you don't have to worry about copying and pasting HTML code into your webpage. HubPages takes care of it. You simply provide HubPages with your Google Adsense Publisher ID.
Another source of income with HubPages is thru affiliate marketing. If you join Amazon Affiliate and eBay Affiliate programs you may include Amazon capsules and eBay capsules into your content. When someone buys a product from Amazon or eBay thru your page, you get a commission.
A word of caution though: Making money online is very challenging and sometimes very frustrating, especially when you're a beginner. Simply writing articles (hubs, as they call it in HubPages) or blogs haphazardly will not lead to a very much needed website traffic, which is the most important part of making money online.
You need plenty of visitors to your site so that there will be a higher chance of someone clicking on your Google Adsense ads. The money you get from your writing is definitely directly proportional to the amount of traffic your page gets.
This means you need to understand how search engines work and how people use them. You need to tailor your articles to specific keywords so that your articles hit the first page of the search engine results page (SERP). The main target is to be listed as the first entry of the first page of the SERP. And this is what Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about. For a starter, you may want to read, 3000 Words on Maximizing AdSense Revenue with Hub Pages, by alexd181.
Besides knowing SEO techniques, your might want to follow the guidelines on writing flagship hubs, then you should read, How I got my hub to be on Google's first page, by Mark Knowles.

Comments About Make Money Online Writing Articles or Blogs
Partisan Patriot, Thank you too for visiting my new hub on money making online.
That's right. Visitors have to click on the ads before you get some bucks.
I don't get it. Why should one go to hub pages and write when can have her own site up and publish and make money there?
Anil Atluri, there are many reasons why one should write at HubPages rather than set up his/her own website to make money online:
1. It is the easiest and the fastest way.
2. No need for too much technical knowledge.
3. When you set up your own website, it takes a lot of time and effort to have it ranked by Google and therefore make it to SERP's first page.
Thanks for the great Hub!
very good hub...thank you..
A valuable bunch of information and resources. Thank you
Good post this is.
180 million competitions. God , though niche
LVM Nice Hub... Alot of good information and links. I will bookmark it to come back and read up when I need a little help.
This is a well written hub full of useful information. Thanks
Great knowledge about hub.
Hi LVM, nice hub. I agree with you that one of the best place to make money on the Internet for beginners is to start here at Hubpages.
I am getting better result here than other platform that I have tried anywhere else.
I have tested paid to click program and traffic exchange. Wasted lot of energy and time there.
It is much more productive here.
For your success & Good Day !
LVM thank you so much for the Information here . It Is very helpful . I have been on hubpages for awhile now . But mycomputer skills could use some polish and I can always use the help . Be well my friend ! :D
To everyone, I was away from my computer for 12 hours and when I came back, I saw all these encouraging comments posted. Thanks for all the support.
Notice to Comment Spammers:
I'm not approving any outside links, especially when you're a new hubber with only a few hubs in your name. Yes, even if the outside link is related to my hubs.
I have no problems with links as long as they're internal links.
Oh, by the way, I'm not that strict. I'm willing to trade links but e-mail me first. And please stop comment spamming all my hubs. It will surely be just a futile exercise!
Great knowledge about hub
Thanks for the info!
I ain't made a dime yet,but I guess my blog topics go unread by most people, and sometimes people just don't get into uncomfortable subjects. they prefer the "Lighter" things in life, but I am a community activist. I have to speak for change! The staus quo is failing/non-effective for millions here in the states.
Great Hub LVM!
Ya, beginning is really a tough job. Thanks for sharing though.
I wonder how to understand whether my hub is getting good hits, I mean how many hits..
omi saide, if you want to make a decent amount of money from your writings on HubPages, you need to do some keyword research on your topic and then learn to target those keywords on your writing. The links I've provided above should point you to the right directions.
Indeed you can write about anything you want, and in any form or style you prefer, but as most of the experienced hubbers say, it will be a hit or miss thing in terms of money making.
That's the reason why I said that money making online can be challenging and frustrating. If you write for the money, it's a very tedious task. It's a lot easier to write on things that you enjoy writing about, writing for the sake of writing, but then don't expect an avalance of dollars.
KMST, if you want to know how many pageviews your hubs get, click the "my account" button at the the top of the page. Or better yet, use Google Analytics. Please read: http://hubpages.com/hub/Google-Analytics-Maximize-
Finally the light bulb comes on for me... Thank you!

Thanks LVM
I've been writing Hubs for over a month and wasn't sure how the system worked. I thought that if viewers clicked on you page you got credit; I didn't know they actually had to click on the ads themselves.
