Monetizing Hubs in the Begnning

First, I love HubPages.

I can, and do write for hours at a time for the sheer joy of writing. However I found myself struggling with aspects other than the writing when I first began writing on the HubPages site. Things like HubPages Earning Program, AdSense, Google, eBay and other means to monetize my account were very intimidating. Maybe I just wasn't getting it? How the heck does a Hubber gain all of the information and angles needed to get paid? I personally was more apt to spend my time finger dancing across my keyboard then I was searching for information regarding the 'how to' of making a buck writing online.

Am I lazy or just an artist?

I asked myself , "Am I lazy or just an artist?" Or are these synonyms for each other? Looking at things like I did, my brain wanted to go to one page that had a checklist of options to check or not to check. I was willing to fill in information windows and the likes, but it really was way to intimidating when I had to go from page to page, linking to this and to that, enter the URL information and all of the things I had no understanding for. It just seemed that if someone had very limited computer skills and needed to write, but also wanted to make a few shekels while doing so, that a check list would be available? I simply wanted to fill in 'yes' or 'no' and when done, KAZAM!! I would have monetize my account and all would have been good in online writing land.

What I found was this; it takes a little more then good writing to make a few dollars writing online articles.

How To Earn Money While Writing Online Articles

Here is the thing, I work hard.

I keep my Hub Karma at a helpful score and my Hub score high enough to feel good about my day. So....correct me if I am wrong, but it is Hub Karma, right? So where is my good karma for my hub Karma? Know this: No one is going to find any Hub money laying around on a bad HubPages article no matter how high your HubKarma may be. And forget entering the contests here on HubPages, they won't render a single accolade, or an honorary mention if the article doesn't have the right stuff. Making money with online writing is a task designed to work only when you have the right formula and know-how. Using the right keywords, SEO, and above all good quality content, is just the tip of the online article writing iceberg.

Online Writers

Get Down To Some Real Facts

The truth is that true writers are artistic. We have a kind of "in our heads" approach to the world. We exude intellect (in most cases) and share needed data with the masses. Online writers:

  • research so others don't have to
  • tell stories so readers can imagine
  • they reach inside themselves to recall deep-felt experiences so others can also feel

It is in our make-up and is usually what the writer does best. Why not make a little money at it, or even loads? Online writers deserve the reward for creating good quality work.

Spectacular Hubs

Some Hubs have made me laugh, tear-up, and a few have even made me angry. All this emotion brought out by reading good quality content within many of the articles online. I have been truly amazed by this HubPages writer's community. This is truly the top of the heap when it comes to talented people compared to some other factory style writing sites. Many of the great writers here on HubPages deserve to get paid for their words; because theirs are the articles that will pay-off in the long run—or more accurately, the long tail—for the HubPages site. They have more to offer the company as a whole and thus, should make money for their online writing.

Tips For The New Online Writer

For those who are new, or struggle to make a little jingle writing online, it is imperative that you reach out to these proven authors by reading the outstanding hubs that pertain to the subject of making money with HubPages Ads, AdSense, Amazon, and the likes. These are the articles that will help you the most. But they have to be read, bookmarked, and understood in order for you to improve your own placement within the online writing community. By reading really good content articles you will see how important "good original content" truly is—for the lack of a better term—"content" is in fact, king!

Write first because you can, then write because 'baby needs new shoes'— if you will.
