Excellent Ways to Use your HubPages Earnings

Internet Bill

It is almost poetic how fitting it is to use the money you earn with internet access to pay for the internet access itself.

A New Computer

This follows in the same thread as the internet bill. It can be very satisfying to think of your computer as something that pays for itself.

Books

I personally am an avid book collector. My bedroom quickly became my own personal library while growing up. Although I am already predisposed to appreciate books, I also consider books crucial to my success here on HubPages. I believe being well-read is key to being a good writer both technically and as far as content is concerned. My topics and content are very often inspired by what I read; be it informative or creative. My foreign language dictionaries and grammar books are also indispensible resources for my hubs on language learning. I doubt it would be too much a generalization to say that most HubPages beneficiaries are also self-proclaimed bookworms.

Magazines and Newspapers

These are excellent ways to stay abreast of the latest news and trends in various different fields. While being a good writer requires you to be an avid reader as well, reading a wide variety of magazines and newspapers will inspire you to continue writing more attractive, modern, and topical online articles

eBay Items

Since HubPages deposits your earnings directly into your PayPal account, it is a very convenient way to pay for purchases on eBay. If you are into reviewing clothing, accessories, and other goods, then shopping in general is a great investment as it will ultimately increase your writing profile, and thus, your earnings through advertisement revenue.

Ingredients and Craft Materials

If you are a hubber who is keen on writing recipes or tutorials for arts and crafts projects, then using your earnings to continue buying ingredients and materials for your recipes and crafts is an obvious investment opportunity.

Student Loans

This one is particularly important to me personally. I am currently studying on exchange and will be graduating in a few short months. It is an immense relief to know that I will be able to pay my student loans no matter what I do or wherever I end up in my further travels. It is just a matter of going online to deposit my earnings into my bank account from which my student loans will be withdrawn every month. I also like to consider my HubPages success a good reason for having gone to university in the first place. I give full credit to my academic career for getting me started as a successful online writer.

Travel

This one requires a pretty lucrative HubPages account, but it is nonetheless a noble way to spend your earnings. What better than to see the world without worry of financial woe. This is a reality for me as I seek temporary employment in various countries. If I move somewhere and my position falls through, it is nice to know that I have a financial safety net. Travel is also a good way to increase your earnings as you fill up your profile with high demand travel writing.

Your Own Website

Starting up your own website is an excellent way to invest your hubpages earnings once they become substantial enough to allow you the time to develop your website and afford the necessary hardware. If successful, this will ultimately augment your earnings through Hubpages or any other revenue sharing websites you might be involved with.

Savings

Setting up a savings account where you directly deposit all of your HubPages earnings is a great way to build up a pretty substantial nest egg. Even if your writing is not particularly lucrative, at least you will be able to increase it by earning interest from your savings account.

Charity

If your passive HubPages earnings are not necessary to supplement your general income, then donating it to charity is a great way to use your earnings. I generally advise donating locally to avoid scams.

Vacation

You have worked really hard if you have earned enough to take off somewhere warm and luxurious for a much needed vacation.

Retirement

Having a steady flow of passive income is the best way to achieve financial security after retirement.
