When do I get paid?
Am I doing something wrong,the reason why im not getting paid.
Are you logging into your affiliate accounts for Google AdSense, eBay and Amazon to see the reports? Those reports will show you if you are getting hits. And if you activate Google Analytics, then you can see where hits are coming from. This is a good indication of what is wrong. Generally hits from search engine queries are the best. Those are actually people looking for something, and they may be in a buying mode. That should get you started in the right direction.
No payments come from HubPages, they all come direct from the affiliate programs.
The first thing to check is that you've actually signed up for the various affiliate programs. If you haven't, then that's why you aren't getting paid yet.
If you have signed up for and been approved by the various affiliate programs, you won't see any payouts until you've earned the minimums set by each (AdSense, Amazon, eBay). They all work independently so it may take a while if you are new.

Yes, I love to write and this hub thing is excellent, but when and how do we get paid? What am I to expect? Some of my sites look like they're doing very well, but I've only been doing this for 4 days! Very new to blogging, and so not a techie.

Hello,I have two hubs and the total views for both combined is 672. You would think I would have earned a penny or five cents right? But I have not. Am I doing something wrong? I do most of my article stuff on another site which does much better but it seems curious to me in...

I took the hubpage challenge and completed it. 30 hubs in less than 30 days (just). My hubs are doing okay with almost 300 views and averaging about 15 a day, but no recorded onward orders. I have google adsense and amazon accounts and all my hubs have ads highly positioned. But, despite all that,...

I keep submitting my request to AdSense, which keeps denying me because of 'insufficient content,' but I have four substantial hubs published AND... ads ARE showing up on my hubs but I'm not being paid for them! Help!
