Hi Everyone,
My name is Nick and I'm really, really excited to join Hubpages. I've got a load of questions, many of which I was able to answer browsing the net or this forum. Others I hope you might help me with
1. I heard that the earnings distribution is 60/40 (60% for us, 40% for team hubpage). Is that only true for adds or also for affiliate earnings (i.e. amazon or ebay)? I heard somewhere that affiliate earnings are 100% ours.
2. How many affiliate links are we allowed to add to a hub?
3. How many self serving links are we allowed to have?
4. What is the minimum pay out?
5. Does Hubpages only use google adsense or also some other add networks?
6. What are the minimum number of words for a hub?
7. How long does it typically take for an article to get approved?
8. Do I need a paypal account?
9. Do I need google adsense, amazon affiliate program, ebay affiliate program?
10. How long does it take to get preapproval, i.e. be able to write and publish articles without reviews?
11. And this is probably the MOST IMPORTANT one. If I write something, am I still the owner
of the content, or does ownership go over to hubpages once the article is published?
I am really, really grateful for any input on these matters. Thank you so much,
Nick.
1. Yes it is true if you join the HP Amazon program. If you join the Amazon program directly you will get 100% comission but start on the lowest tier.
2. Two links to any one site except flickr, wikipedia, etc. No clickbank links allowed.
3. 2
4. $50
5. Google and others
6. No minium but 500 is a good starting point.
7. 24 hours
8. Yes (to get paid).
9. To earn money you need all three.
10. All articles must be approved no matter how long you have been here.
11. Yes you retain the ownership.
Click on the word "help" in the top right corner of your screen. Read the HP FAQ. The answer to these questions, and more, are all here, and in detail.
If you read through all of these answers, and follow the suggestions, you will do fine here.
Good luck.
Hi dear
Welcome to HP, a good community for global writers in English. My advice is first you concentrate on writing alone and try to get maximum reach, I mean hits. Money will eventually follow. All the best.

Hi,I have other accounts here (this is my forum account). So far in the two days of Amazon earnings reports in the new HubPages-linked Amazon products, I only see products listed that I directly linked to. Usually I earn commission from products that were bought using my affiliate links...

There are some troubled men who regularly use forums, and they have not a single hub in their profiles. How come? How is it allowed? I do not get it--- Is HubPages a chat-website?

If I want to promote Amazon items off Hubpages, like my own site/blog etc. do I need to get any kind of permission from Amazon or have them verify it first? I will obviously create a new tracking ID separate from HP, but can I basically stick it anywhere? How about on a Facebook Page or...

I am unable to use the Amazon Affiliate Program now that I live in Colorado. However, I am a book lover and would love to use affiliate links to books I review or talk about. I am a Barnes & Noble Affiliate, and am wondering if I am allowed to use my affiliate links from there on my hubs. If...
