1. The HubPages Community
The Community on HubPages is like no other Community on the Web! Unlike other sites on the Internet, HubPages has a strict set of rules in place that weed out spammers and people who only contribute negatively to the site.
Community members reach out to each other and support each other's work. We let people know when they have done a great job by leaving insightful comments of praise on their Hubs and when necessary, we can privately message another user through the e-mail system to let them know about errors or make suggestions to people who are just starting out.
We can follow Hubbers that we are interested in reading and we can leave fan mail on their profile to tell future readers why we follow the Hubber and how we were affected by their writing.
Many Hubbers take advantage of the use of Social Networking Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest and create groups on those sites with other Hubbers. If you are not sharing on Social Media Networking sites then you are missing a big piece of the "Traffic Pie"!
Sharing with each other on these networking sites creates backlinks and more Hub traffic all while building friendships and creating networking relationships that can last a lifetime!
Many Hubbers participate in Contests and Hub Challenges together to support and promote each other by sharing each other's articles. You will find no other community on the Internet that is as friendly and supportive as the HubPages Community!
A Unique Community Is The Core of HubPages Success!
We Write Evergreen Content!
2. The Content Is Better!
Many other sites and traditional "Blogs" do not have the same capabilities, resources or tools available that HubPages has. Take the HubPages Learning Center for example.
How many other sites create a comprehensive library of articles that teaches it's users step-by-step, exactly how they can make money on their site? For those who are skeptical, remember that HubPages only makes money if we do the work and publish articles that draw in revenue.
HubPages allows authors to add Original Photos and Videos alongside our text. This makes our content look "cleaner" than other sites that cram all the information together randomly. HubPages is not your average Blogging site where users rant about daily problems or how many times they used the bathroom that day!
Many Hubbers make use of the tools available and create Quality Content that gets noticed in Search Engines.
The Best Hub Articles tend to have the following elements that make their articles stand out above other sites:
- 500-1,500 Words in Length which shows readers and search engines that the author is a reputable source and knows what they are writing about.
- Original Legally Used Photos that improve the Look of the page while adding to the quality and rank in search engines.
- Original Videos that show how something is done related to the topic of the article.
- Effective use and Placement of Affiliate Advertisements so that readers can find the products they are searching for.
- Appropriate use of Keywords throughout the article without misleading, overusing or "stuffing" them.
- Flawless Spelling and Grammar Usage
As we will explore later in this article, the format and design of the site from the author's editing mode is very simple and fast to use. No coding or programming background is necessary and so anybody who can write and click on a mouse can essentially publish and earn through HubPages!

HubPages Tools: Help on Using the Capsules
3. Easy To Use Format and Tools
There are so many tools available to the Authors on HubPages. The HubPages Learning Center is a great resource that covers all topics on HubPages.
The chart to the right is a list of the most common capsules used for creating a Hub Article. These shortcuts will bring you to the Learning Center Article that explains each capsule and how to use them.
If you are new to HubPages, take a look around the site at other Hubber's Hubs and look at the variety of ways people design their articles. Take note of the Placement of Advertisements (eBay and Amazon which we will explore next) as well as how they spread the text out by using multiple text capsules.
The use of Original Photos and Videos adds to the appearance of the articles and provides stimulating content to the Hubs. You can learn a lot from other Hubbers as to what looks good and what will get and keep readership, just by visiting their Hub Articles.

4. Targeted Affiliate Advertising
Advertising on HubPages is a lot better than on many other sites. HubPages allows for Targeted Ads based on the content of each article.
We are also able to link to Ads that we choose and we have some control over the Advertising Process on our Hubs. Not many other publishing sites can say the same!
We get paid when readers click our Ads (*clicking your own Ads is considered "Ad Fraud" and will get you banned from the Affiliate Programs as well as HubPages: Be Responsible when Advertising!)
Google AdSense is an Ad Program that displays Advertisements in Hub Articles based on the content of the article. These Ads are fixed meaning that their position on the page can not be changed.
Amazon and eBay Affiliate Advertisements can be placed relatively anywhere on the page by the Hub Author. This is very beneficial because we can strategically place the Ads wherever we want around the text or photos in our Hubs to promote related products. The eBay program has the advantage of "Real Time Bidding" where readers can bid directly from your page to compete for the best price of a product they are searching to purchase.
You must first sign-up for Google AdSense to participate in these Earnings Programs (*see link below for more information on how to sign-up for the Affiliate Earnings Programs)
HubPages Ad Program basically mirrors Google AdSense in that the position of the Ads are fixed on each page and the user can not change them. Many Hubbers have been making decent money since the program rolled out less than a year ago. This Ad Program is a collection of different Advertising Campaigns maintained by HubPages.
Signing up for the various Affiliate Earnings Programs is fairly easy and it is a great way to earn some extra money while writing about things that you love! If you are serious, have time and the desire to put in the work, you can start Earning Real Money on HubPages in no time!
