3 Unusual Ways to Make Money at HubPages

I would love to share this article but I don't see the link.

Great tips. As you say, when you began it was overwhelming and this will help many newbies. It is a good reminder for those who have been around awhile too.

Thanks to Grand Ol Lady for sharing this hub.

I'll be sharing as well.

#3 is where I'm hung up. I often think of sharing recipes but I don't have pictures. Without the images to capture a person's attention, the HUB would be no good, I fear. But I do #1 and #2.

That was an awesome article.. :)

Nice informative article

I read this five months ago! I thought I'd visit again to see what I've learned over time. I do use referral trackers, even making different ones to track specific sources. It's nice to know that I can learn things over time. LOl! :-)

Came back for another read, and everything you say is still very relevant, we do get a bit lazy in the way we write and not promote enough, so its something we should all read again over and over! lol!

Interesting and very useful.

Thanks for sharing.

Eddy.

Detailed and succinct info here. thanks Christy!

This is my 2014 New Year's Resolution to use the referral tracker properly. Thank you for encouraging me and reminding me I need to make this a priority. Great post! Voted up!

Very informative and useful! I knew you could refer people but I did not realize you could earn by sending traffic to other people's hubs.

I didn't know about the linking. I'll start doing that. I have used the referral tracker a few times. I don't have many recipes, but those I have always seem to be in the top ten of my hubs. This i s a very useful hub that will help many hubbers. Thanks for sharing these tips!

That referral thing still evades me Christy but thanks for these great ideas..

Will share & tweet so others can know..Cheers

I'm new here, so this was very helpful.

I have been here since January, and have never quite understood the whole referral tracker deal. I'll have to do that sometime.

Thanks for writing this useful hub, and congrats on writing so many articles!

Have a great day.

I can't believe I never knew about the "link to this page" feature. I actually have links to other people's hubs as well. Thanks for the info.

Very cool, I did not know much of these things. I'm going to have to give it a try. Congrats on 100 hubs-- I am trying to reach that goal myself by the end of the year.

Thank you so much for all your tips on how to earn from hubpages. I'm still new at all this and now I try to add my appreciation by adding fan mail, but I have not yet figured out how that works. xxx

Wow, you are truly a wonderful person to share such excellent information to do with earnings. I started with hubs not even knowing that you could earn from it, and now I followed up your advise. Each day I'm earning more and more. Does it ever stop?

Nice information, why I didn't know about " Referral Trackers. Thanks for sharing with us. Voted up :-)

Congratulations on your 100th Hub! This one was very informative. I look forward to reading more of your work!

Voted up!

I tried using the referral tracker when I first started, but was unsuccessful using it correctly. This explains exactly how it works, so I'll give it another shot.

Hey thanks for the tips! ..I'm a relatively new hubber and have almost reached the $50 threshold ..but I din't know sharing someone else's hubs using the referral tracker can help with earnings...voted up!

OOPS! Having read this I hit the "HubPagesFollowers" button on the right and immediately the text changed to "Shared With Followers." Sorry! I guess it would have been too early to 'share' as someone had already shared this just a while back. No sabotage intended. My apologies, :)

Excellent information: thanks for the refresher course! I do a lot more sharing than I used to, and this article has reminded me to do more.

I share both here and on my page on FaceBook (I created a special page to feature my own Hubs as a way of promoting them, but I also share others' Hubs there as well.)

I have recently joined Pinterest, and have been also sharing via that site.

The one thing that remains to do, is to really learn how to use the "sign up and write" feature--I think HP recently made some changes there, so (as I understand from a few forum posts), it's no longer as easy or even possibly frowned upon, to post such a link at the bottom of your own hubs.... as far as e-mail; I don't know anyone else who writes, save 2, and they already have a presence here....

Voted up, interesting, useful and shared!

Thanks for sharing christywrites. I know that we can refer people into the community, what I'm not aware of is about the 10% from the impressions of their hubs. Thanks again. =)

Great advice and something I need to go back and relearn, I tend to just take hubs for granted but of course we all need a refresher occasionally, thanks!

I didn't know that sharing with the 'link to this page' earned you money like that. I thought it was simply a matter of people signing up through that link in order to earn money. Very interesting! I know this article was written a while ago, so is it still valid today or do you know?

excellent and so informative hub, really liked the ideas and ways you mentioned here, haven't tried them yet but would love to try, thanks for sharing, blessings!

Interesting advice. Not everything applies to everyone which makes it good if each of us takes a different byte of the apple.

pretty helpful tips especially for newbies like me.

Great hub! Did you ever try posting a recipe hub? I have a lot of them, and most do very well! :-)

Hi, I found this article by seeing your reply on another hub I had commented on...thank you for this great info! I just joined last week and have written two hubs so far, but am hoping to get to the point of actually making a little income so this was very helpful!

Voted up and (now with the extra info- sharing!) :)

I know all these ways to make money. Only I can't do recipes. I don't have a phone like my sons' phones. So I can't upload pictures.

Glad I read this. All interesting information that I did not know! Thank you! And sharing!

I had no idea that you can get paid for referring people to Hubs from other people. You learn something new everyday. I still haven't mastered this HubPages thing, but I sure am enjoying it.

Congrats on your 100th Christy! You are so motivating and encouraging for writers like myself. Sometimes I feel I don't have what it takes, but then remember that it takes time and a lot of hard work. I think one of my favorite parts in writing hubs is doing the research and learning so much about the topic I'm writing about. Knowledge is everything! Thanks for this hub! Great info and very very encouraging! Voted up and ... yes.. shared (with my tracker#) *wink*♥

Wow, this hub has a ton of comments! I can see why, because it has lots of useful info. Nice work! I will have to try these, although I don't think I could do the recipe one. My cooking skills are nil. Voted up and interesting.

christywrites,i am not using referral tracker in my hubs but by using your hub i will certainly try.Voting up and sharing.

excellent and wonderful hub !!!! thanx for u r sharing it.

Congrats on a hundred hubs and this is great advice if I can understand it. I will work at learning this. Thank you.

Everyone's always looking to make more money and you've outlined some good suggestions. Thanks for the heads up.

Voted up, useful, and interesting.

You hub is more informative with to do list.Thanks for your narrative make to understand style.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty much a virgin to hubpage. I'll lose my virginity soon

Wow, this is all new news to me. I'm glad that I found this, and thanks for the info!

Thanks! Looks like I need to start using my Referral Tracker!

well done! And congratulation for your 100 hub. There are good ideas here. I will try them out soon and see which one will be working for me .

Thanks for the tips I will try a few of them in the near future. 100 hundred? 84 more than me at this point.

Take care

I do use referral trackers when I share someone's hub in Twitter. Every so often I find a hub someone wrote that I know will be useful for friend. I use the referral tracker whenever I send the URL of someone else's hub in an email. I do this for the same reason that you mentioned in your hub. We actually make 10% of the ad revenue for any clicks. But that does not diminish 60% that the other Hubber is getting. The 10% comes from HP.

I enjoyed reading your hub as I found it to be an excellent review of other ways to make money here. Voted up.

Thanks for sharing this informative Hub.

Thanks so much for the information! I, too, voted Up, Useful, Awesome, and Interesting ... I will be following!

Voted up - well explained ways to make additional revenue on HubPages, really appreciate your sharing this

Good ideas for making money on HubPages. Just wondering why you originally called this 5 Unusual Ways to Make Money at HubPages (per the hub name in the link above), but you decided to reduce it to 3 Unusual Ways to Make Money at HubPages? What happened to the other two?

This is great information.... so glad I stumbled on it. I have been tweeting other people's hubs but not with the tracker thing... lol...

Very useful hub for all hubbers, helpful to know that you can make money posting other peoples hubs, this one is going out into the world now!

Awesome hub with useful tips. I've never ventured into writing recipe hubs, but might give it a try now. Voted up and sharing.

Wow! I'm very glad I stumbled apon this hub. It contains an amazing amount of information for us newbies! Thank you very much!!

I found this hub to be helpful. Many of my hubs are Christian devotionals and my original poetry. I have been on HP for about a 5 months. I didn't join for the money, but I am enjoying feedback from other writers and the sense of community.

Thank you so much for these valuable tips.

This is great news, I need to add some recipes.

Thanks, Christy, for this helpful hub. Up, Useful, Interesting, and shared with followers. Am bookmarking it for closer study. I may not be using my tracking code correctly, and I want to double check that.

Very useful! Thanks for sharing. Voted up!

This hub was very useful and gave me some ideas. Voted up, great hub!

Awesome i didnt know about sharing other peoples hub, thanks for the info.

Christy, thank you. This hub represents what I like most about hubpages and that is that writers try to help newbies. I'm only six months in and still have so much to learn. This was great.

Thanks for the insight. I just joined HP.

As with many other hubbers,i didn;t know that referring is another way to earn,thanks for the tip. now i have to figure out about ebay and amazon acs. in my hub pages ac.and how to earn from that

Really interesting - as someone new to Hubpages I definitely get the confusion aspect. Will def give these a try once (if ever) my AdSense application gets approved!

First tip of using your referral link is very good .I have also tried this in my hubs.Very nice hub christywrites

So interesting and very useful; here I award my Up up and away and share also. Have a wonderful day.

Wow, totally interesting and great advice. It's easy to overlook the benefits of simply referring people or sharing hubs, but you're right; totally worth it. Thanks for sharing, great job, appreciate the sage advice. VU & Useful.

Congratulations on reaching such an impressive milestone. Good for you. Thanks for the "tips" as well. I'm afraid that I am one of those that has not used,and really did not understand, referral trackers. Your hub has helped and I will investigate further. Thanks again.
