Can I quit my day job and work 8 hours a day for 30 days and earn enough to make a living?

No. You'll find it takes two or three months for your Hubs to start earning decent income, and their earning potential improves more and more as time goes by.

If you build up a portfolio of good Hubs, you might be able to look forward to making a living off their passive income in a year or two - but not today.

MSKing is right that it is doubtful that you will earn enough to replace a very large salary. Plus it often takes two to three months to see your earnings from Hubpages start to show up. It is a very dangerous idea to quit your job before you have consistent proof that your online work will support you.

Simple and short answer, yes, you can but not right away. You first have to make the online income work and pretty much have an income that you can predict. Then, as most self employed people do you put money as a backup for the rainy day. And keep working until you reach your goal income level. How fast you can become successful certainly depends on how fast you bounce back from problems, failures, challenges etc....And it also depends on how tenacious and courageous you are. Don't believe in such things as "you can never depend on online income" as with any other business or even employment there is no guarantee in life. However, as much as you take chances with your employment, you should have even a better trust with the business you build for yourself. Just remember it does take time and it's not only the hubs you should do. You may have to do more. Good luck. I'm answering this in addition to the hub I did based on your question. Thanks for the inspiration.

I wouldn't make any rash moves like that. I have been doing this for several months, and my earnings are minimal. I suppose you could write articles on targeted higher-earning keywords and get more, but wait until that happens before jumping into or out of anything!

This is a question that is often asked at Hubpages. Can I Quit My Job and Work 8 Hours a Day for 30 Days and Earn a Living With Hubpages? I'd say ... keep reading →

Whatever you do, retain your day job first!

You have to understand how hubpages work. You make money when people click on Google ads. (Trust me, adsense is simpler than Amazon or ebay - all it takes is just a click) but you do not have control over what kind of ads that will appear on your hub. Thus, the income fluctuates. I can tell you from my own experience. Sometimes, I get $2 (a good day). A bad day would be $0 to $0.01. Don't make a rash decision! You will regret it later. I hate my day job as well but I still have to work for the money...

I just wrote a hub on this very question. I quit my job to work on my websites and blogs full-time. For me I didn't get a huge jump earnings with the extra time I had working just on my sites.

Until you have an established income from your blogs/hubs/websites it is better to keep working at your job and just working on your internet sites in a part-time capacity.

Quitting you day job is something that millions of people dream of every single day.  Fortunately for myself, it is a job I have achieved, partly with the help of Hubpages.  When you quit your day job you... keep reading →

Nike says it best: Just Do It!

Can you work 8 hours a day for 30 days and earn some money? Yes you can. But there's a lot of failure you have to go through before you see the success in what you do.

Is it really possible to make a full time income online? YES, without a doubt.

What will you have to do? Dedicate yourself to working on your hubs/blogs/websites. It's NOT OVERNIGHT SUCCESS, but the work you put into it will pay off in the long run.

Work HARD on some websites and hubs for a year or two (if you're greedy :-D ) and you will see money coming in that will make you smile.

I do so badly want to quit my day job - but it's not prudent or financially sound to do this right now - look at your hubpages as plants - you create x amount of hubs (quickly) and get about 8-10 good backlinks to each hub via places like ezinearticles.com and various other article directories with some good link juice.

Probably need to create about 400 hubpages with good paying niche keywords (the best are related to human suffering and healing) - do this this as quickly and correctly as possible. I would love to do 10 hubs a day for 40 days. If you do all of the above. Then in about 60-90 days you will see some serious coin coming in with Adsense, Amazon, and Ebay affiliates.

You will then have an MBA in online income (Massive Bank Account).

The best way to quit your current job for a new online business is to first incorporate the new endeavor as a part-time job. An important reason for doing this is to avoid becoming stressed out over paying... keep reading →

I would keep my job and do some hubpages work on the side. There's not really a lot of money here unless you're making lots and lots of hubs.

you wouldnt make it just with hub pages, you will need to do so much more then just writing a few hubs a day, the ways are out there just be creative

30 days might give you a good start but I definitely wouldn't quit my job without knowing what to expect. I wrote a hub about making a living by writing online, and one of the main points is that it does not happen overnight, it takes time. If you check it out I am sure you will probably get some idea of what to expect.

yes ,you can if you find a job that pays twice as much but i would stick withj my job if i had one.

I would try this first before quitting your day job. It depends how much you get paid. You definitely wouldn't make enough vs. a US salary but maybe if you live in India and your salary is very low you might. Try it for a month and see.

Only a FOOL will quit his / her regular job for this online income. Online income keeps fluctuating. Sometimes you earn several hundred dollars a month and sometimes your earn much less. You cannot trust this online business. Consider all your online income as BONUS and be happy. Don't quit your regular job. It is permanent source of income.
