My Hubpage Earnings
My husband has encouraged me to partake in Hubpages. I did open an account and publish one lens last year, but didn't do much with it until recently. I do have a separate Adsense account and I must admit, I didn't check on it all that much. To be honest, I could go months without checking. I got the account after numerous attempts at doing websites, applying and getting rejected. It wasn't until I did a blogger blog that I finally got accepted onto the program. But my earnings for that little endeavour still amounts to a big fat zero. I'm not sure if the blog is still up. I've forgotten where it is. I don't think I could remember the password if I tried. No great loss.
Around May last year I published my first lens. And it was lonely for many many months. I did zero promotion. I have no intention actually to promote or 'build backlinks' to anything I publish. It will sink or swim by its own merits. Even if I write about something I love and it has an audience of none its not going to bother me. My husband is an active hubber he gets into it a lot more than I ever can. And admittedly hes good at it. My earnings won't rival his but it could be an excellent guide for other newbies who want to gentlely dip their toes into making money online without having a mental breakdown in the meantime.
Between Tuesday, 13 May 2008 to Wednesday, 31 December 2008 I made $0.00 in earnings. And that's zero in Australian dollars so given the exchange rate the zero will be even less in USD.
January didn't do any better, but then something happened. I think it's because I made an effort to have more than one hub! I'll post the months and corresponding amounts in the table capsule, which my husband thinks is the best invention since sliced bread.
