How many Hubs do you need to make a living from Hubpages?

Updated on March 14, 2012

How many Hubs do you need to write a day? A week?

Every writer on Hubpages wants the same thing: To make money writing online. However, few will actually make enough money to say that they are successful at this business.

I constantly keep asking myself this question, and answering this question for other fellow hubbers: when did I start making enough money from Hubpages to not worry about money in general, and How many hubs did it take for me to get there?

Well, I'm going to answer these questions and MORE on this hub!

How do you make a living from Hubpages?

Although I have yet to find the "magical" way of making money online, other than simply by writing, and sharing my work with other writers, I can honestly say that between the beginning of LAST year, and beginning of THIS year, I have gotten a little bit more lucky in a sense.

Do not get me wrong, I have been working almost every single day since I started my freelance business. The word: "Vacation" has completely lost its meaning to me, since i haven't had one since the day I had my son!

What I mean from "lucky" is simply this: Since I have been working more, I've noticed a spike on traffic from ALL of my hubs combined, NOT to mention, the immediate traffic that I achieve when I publish MULTIPLE hubs at a time!

When I publish more than one Hub a day, my traffic usually increases between 50 views to a healthy 100 or more. This means that if I were to publish 3 hubs today, I would get more than 400 views. Taking in mind i'm also earning from the Hubpages Earnings program, This means between 3 or 4 dollars a day.

Yes, it may not seem like much to hubbers, and it may seem like a poor excuse for making a living on hubpages, however, I'm ALSO making money from PREVIOUS hubs I've published in the past. This means that for every 10 hubs I've published in the past, I've made over $10 every week.

*Keep in mind, I have more than 90 hubs published. (Not including THIS hub)

So, if we were all paying attention, I didn't start earning money by publishing ONE hub and then moving on to other writing websites. I published hubs about topics that I knew, and made sure I had SEVERAL hubs on each topic!


Answering the question of the day: How many Hubs do you need to make a living from Hubpages?

So, how many do you need?

100? 200? 300?

I've seen Hubbers that have more than 1000 hubs published on Hubpages, however, their names are not mentioned on the "Success stories" section of this Website.

I honestly do not think that there is a certain amount of Hubs that you need to have in order to make money from Hubpages. It doesn't hurt to have more than 100 Hubs to make a great living on here. What DOES matter is the QUALITY of the hubs that you are publishing.

I've made the mistake of thinking that I could publish HUNDREDS of hubs at a time, and watch my income spiral out of control!

Needless to say, it didn't happen.

You need Quality Hubs to start making money on Hubpages. This means that your hubs have to have the kind of Information that readers want to read about, and can understand. You have to cover all of your bases in each Hub.

For example:

If you are writing a "How to" Article, answer every question that your readers could ask on your Hub.

What, Who, when, where and why? If you answer any and all questions on your hubs, then your readers will BOOKMARK your hubs, and come back to read MORE of your articles.

Having Loyal readers is a GREAT way to start making more money on Hubpages.

You need to write Hubs that are filled with useful information to keep readers coming back your work!

Q: So, How many hubs do you need to make money from Hubpages?

A: As many Hubs as you can write with plenty of information to help readers!

It may sound simple, but a lot of Hubbers still experience a lot of problems when they want to increase their income online.
