Introduction

In this article i will use hubs, web pages and articles interchangeably. As far as I am concerned they mean the same thing please bare with me.

My definition of a money spinning hub is one that can generate significant amount of traffic and convert a sizeable part of that traffic into pay per click through subtle but legitimate methods and also convince a section its readers to make a buying decision.

In other words, it is a hub that receives massive traffic and induces its readers to click on contextual adverts or referral links and also convinces some of its readers to buy a product relating to its topic.

Characteristics of money making articles

1. They answer questions without giving up the juicy part

A money spinning hub is the answer to a question someone somewhere on the internet has been looking for a while. Usually this question is posted on social networking sites especially blogs and forums although they will not appear to you on a platter of gold. A little hard searching will be an eye opener to the possibilities and opportunities you have been missing all along. However when you create your money spinning hub answer the question faced by the group of people it affects without giving up the juicy part. That is the best answer solves the problem either 100% or near 100% while your answer may solve it 90% or less, hence your hub should miss the best part which often times is solved by a product or service that is being advertised elsewhere (referral marketing) or on hubpages through Kontera, Adsense, Amazon or ebay.

2. They motivate qualified readers to buy a recommended product

If you are an affiliate of an online merchant and have a hub that talks about let’s say budget planning, naturally this hub has the potential to become a money spinner especially if you highlight the benefits of planning a budget and clearly show how budget planning is useful in overcoming financial problems. However the duty of showing the reader how to plan a budget lies in the hands of the merchant who you will recommend to the reader through that hub.

3. They usually attract qualified readers through the right channels

Money spinning hubs always target the right reader through a channel that offers targeted search options such as an online directory or search engine. By targeted search I mean an option that ensures that only people interested in the benefits the hub in question is talking about will most likely find it. In the case of using a directory, you are limited in terms of options because each hub you create is hosted on a domain owned by hubpages, however the case is different with search engines as hubpages offers you functions that will enable search engines index your hubs especially through specific and relevant keywords. With the latter, the key to being ranked high is relevance of keywords to topic and content as well as quality of contents. There is one small consolation though and that is that hubpages has its own internal directory through it category tool.

4. Money making articles address problems better than other competing hubs or web pages

A money spinning hub will do a better job at answering a specific question than most other hubs and web pages on the same topic. If your hub is better at explaining, reviewing or advising a potential reader than what the competition has to offer you are likely to get recommended by satisfied readers who would readily link to your hub thus enhancing the page rank and referring other qualified readers.

5. They are very easy to read and their lessons are easy to apply

Money spinning hubs are easy to read and understand. They are typically written in simple language and are straight to the point about what they mean without being poor in details. In addition, this kind of hubs are practical in that they offer lessons or information which the reader can apply immediately to start achieving the desirable results that brought them to the hub in the first place. No need for technical or high sounding terms except where those are unavoidable.

How to create money spinning hubs

1. Search for a money sapping problem

A money sapping problem is one that drains the pocket either directly or indirectly if left unchecked. For instance not knowing how to budget or manage one’s expenses can lead to bankruptcy. A hub that adequately explains how to minimize your expenses through effective personal budgeting will be a money spinner if it can attract people having financial challenges especially bad debts and bad spending habits. Your first step towards creating a money spinning hub is to identify a money sapping problem this can be done by;

• Observing people around you in real life
• Visiting online forums for questions and complains
• Any other place where people can be observed with their lifestyles and challenges

2. Solve the money sapping problem

The next step is to investigate the problem in question and provide the right answers that will clearly address the problem. Your part is to provide nearly 100% satisfaction but not 100% the rest of the satisfaction comes from using a product designed for that problem which is what contextual adverts like Adsense and Kontera are there for or affiliate programs like amazon or any other you belong to is supposed to address. In other words be a middle man through your hub mentioning how the problem can be solved and recommending the best solution which of course is provided for by the merchant.

3. Craft your hub in a commercially viable way

Before you commence your writing take time to plan your hub. Asking important questions like what kind of writing style should I adopt? How should I address my readers etc, however keep this in mind a money spinning hub creates a relationship between its publisher and readers such as friend-to-friend, teacher-to-student, servant-to-master etc.

As a friend-to-friend article, your hub would most likely be recommending a product or reviewing it. The language will be less formal or informal but respectable and trust worthy. It would typically be an advice on what best solves a problem.

As a teacher-to-student article, your hub should be explaining a point and introducing a solution to the problem that brought your reader to your hub. You would want to sound like you have experience in dealing with that problem and the language will be either formal or semi-formal without sounding like a hub delivering a lecture at a symposium. These hubs are mentoring hubs by the way they are crafted.

As a servant-to-master article, your hub will be one of rendering service to your readers making them see that you are offering them a quality service at no cost from your part. Typically these hubs deal with specific life experiences and could be written in tips and other informational forms.

Regardless of the relationship your hub establishes with its readers it should induce them subtly to enquire for more solutions hence then need for you not to provide 100%.

Conclusion

There is no 100% guarantee that the discussed ideas mentioned in this hub will work even to minutest extent however it is my firm belief that it is as workable as I have illustrated.
