  Yes indeed. We should have been told this morning. I use that money for bills and now I worry it won't be there. When you get paid should be written in stone and should never be changed for any reason. If it was going to be changed we should be given plenty of notice. Why the vague a day or two. That worries me too. You could never tell people at MacDonald's on Friday sorry but were going to pay you on Saturday or maybe Sunday.

  Could HubPages tell us before payment is expected to arrive that we won't get paid on the 28th?
  
  Their statement is that we get paid "around" the 28th, but when it is always paid on the 28th people get upset and ansy when it doesn't arrive. Thanks-a-plenty for your notice.

  Thanks for providing this information on the forum since there was no announcement on the account earnings screen. Wouldn't it be nice if the HP staff let members know in advance when payments will be late? Even those of us who don't make a huge amount of money from HP (perhaps I should say 'especially those of us') may depend on those usually-regular payments. As a freelancer with multiple sources of revenue to supplement my retirement budget, it's helpful to know when my payments will be received. HP is usually right on time, so not seeing the expected payment in my PayPal account yesterday or today was disturbing. And...since HP has no member support email address or phone number, there's no direct contact unless a staffer happens to respond to a forum question. The inability to make contact is frustrating for this member, and I'm apt to 'reach out' to any staff member who's sent me an email in the past.
  
  If this comes across as a complaint--sorry, that's not the way I mean it. I'm offering suggestions for ways to support HP member writers whose work, after all, is the collective source of revenue for the site. Thanks. JAYE

  Wow! I didn't imagine my question would post such a "fire storm". I transferred from Squidoo where the monthly payment as a rule came within a three day period. I am more upset about the lack of concern over how Hubpags keep stats. My page views have not worked for over a month now. It baffles me how HP keeps track of my earnings? I guess I should be glad I see some daily earnings posted. However it would be nice to see what articles are having visitors, and making revenue. I hope all gets straightened in the near future. This is a frustrating way to do business.

  PaulGoodman67posted 9 years agoin reply to this
  It should automatically pay the money into the paypal account that you gave HubPages when you signed up for the ad program.
  
  It pays out the month after you cross the $50 threshold. So if your cumulative earnings are $53 at the end of October, you will be paid $53 on the 28th November.

It is automatic as long as you have met payout before the 28th of the previous month. Example: You meet payout before 28th of September to be paid on October.

  Linda, Do they combine the figures? Sept. and Oct. or do you have to have the set amount each month? I don't see any place where there is a total figure. I see a submit tab but on "My Earnings Settings" but have no idea what it means.

  This is incorrect. You have to meet payout by the end of the previous month, not by the 28th of the previous month. You will get paid today, October, 28, so long as your account balance was $50 or greater by September, 30.
  
  And next month, you will get paid November, 28 so long as your account balance was $50 or more by October, 31.

  There is a caveat with Amazon sales. Today you will be paid for HP ad program earnings accumulated through September 30th. You will be paid for Amazon sales that accrued through August 31st. amazon waits an extra month in case they have returns during that period.
  
  If you go to my earnings, balance history, you will see what has accrued under Amazon, Ebay and HP and what will be on your next payout.

  So I understand that they said payment will be around the 28th of the month, but for two years I've never not received payment on the 28th. It would be nice if they could address the reason for why it has been working like clockwork for years and now it's not. Just give us loyal hubbers a heads up of what may be causing the payments to be paid a little later than what's been the norm. Communication is key.

  That is very interesting. The one post about his two boxers was there this AM and heavy with Amazon ads. I found it amazing that it could have generated $1800 in Amazon sales in one month. So I am not sure if the ban is for disclosing income or for deliberately misleading the forum.

  Where did you get the $1800 figure? He didn't mention the amount of his 'pending payout' in his forum post. Did he announce somewhere else that his single hub earned that much in only two months?

We try and get payments out on the 28th, but we state in the FAQ they will be around the 28th to give us a little flexibility if we have a technical issue, or as in this case, a transfer is taking a bit longer.

http://hubpages.com/faq/#hpads-payments

We hope the funds are available tomorrow and payments are made.

Despite what we say in the FAQ, I know a lot of folks count on payments to be delivered consistently. We will review our process and do our best to get payments out the 28th in the future.

Absolutely Cardisa! I remember Squidoo writers freaking out when that little blue page with earnings was late showing up! Of course, the last couple of payouts had them flipping when they were late showing up and being received. How quickly some forget!

For some, maybe many, the income from here, and other sites, it any, is their job. The income they receive pays their bills, keeps a roof over their head, feeds their family. So those use to getting payouts since the beginning, on the 28th, this is a hardship for some.

There are those homebound, disabled who use writing on this site as a supplement to their income.

We have those retired who use HP as additional income.

I would hate to be the parent who was counting on being paid on the 28th, as we usually are, to have to tell a child that they won't get the new pair of shoes they need, or the coat they need, or their painful tooth fixed because the money needed and was to pay for those things has not arrived.

Not a job??? Well, if this is not a job, why do we fill out tax information here at HP. Why do we have to report our earnings, depending on the state we live in, and of course Federal is Federal.

There are those who do work at home, never enter a physical building or office, yet get paid for what they do. They are called Independent Contractors.

Yes I am!!!

What is even worse is that there was no notice from HP about even a remote possibility in delay of payments for this month.

Those who did inquire, got condescending responses at best.

Unless those who inquired about payment individually, or the forum posts began, I don't think we would have gotten one word from HP. What has happened to HP, other than they bit off more they can chew with the merger, not being ready ahead of time?

No wonder writers are beginning to look at other avenues for their content, which I have not seen in awhile. A couple of years ago, a lot of writers jumped ship, or left some of what they had here, move some, but never added new content to HP. Maybe we are going to see this happen again.

I don't make payout that often, but I feel for those who count on this income as a source of income, or to pay for the extras they need.

When people expect to get paid on Friday, they don't want to be told that they will have to wait until Tuesday to get paid.

HP just sent me an email informing me they are going to send me a teddy bear along with my monthly payment. Personally, I think that is a darn nice thing for them to do.

Just kidding.

Kenneth anybody who posts their earnings is doing a big No No! This is against not only HP rules, but Google adsense rules and it could get you banned from HP, cost you your Adsense Account.

  Thanks for posting this. What with my seeing HP, themselves, posting people's payments and Earned Balances on HP's own blog, I thought it was OK for me to do so here. I was going to, too.
  
  Another regicide harpoon dodged. There sure seems to be a lot of those flying around here these days.

It looks as if the payment arrived in my Paypal account, according to an email I just received. It's not the money I was concerned with, it's the long-term financial health of the site that I'm more focused on. This helps to restore confidence and traffic was up yesterday, according to Quantcast.

Thank you for the payment.

  That they may pay us, but if a time comes where they can't they will likely ignore us, not communicate issues with us, and wait until things are resolved before saying anything? I'm grateful to be paid, but the lack of REAL communication on this lets us all know that if SHTF with this website, we likely will get told nothing!

  peeples,
  I had an "interesting" email chat with a member of HP about why I was not paid yesterday, the 28th, although My current balance is 35 cents shy of the pay-out, and my current earnings for This Month is over $10.
  And I grew so confused that I just gave up. I was told that I was not going to LOSE my balance.
  Sometimes I wish I would NOT even wake up.

Don't count on being paid as usual which is the 28th.

Start a forum post about, 2 weeks before the 28th, whether or not payment is going to be delayed or not and hope we get a response.

  It sounds like you may be looking at your current month earnings and authors are not paid for the current month's earnings.
  
  Once the minimum payment threshold has been met, you will be paid the following month on or near the 28th.

  Your balance history report shows the program and periods for which you are paid

  Please also note the different earnings period for eBay and Amazon.
