I have 5 hubs and have been a member for 5 days, i havn't even made my first 1p yet, how long...
does it take to actually make money?? any tips?
It all depends on your choice of subjects, number of hubs and if you have any prior knowledge of building traffic (visitors) to your hubs. Typically, many hubbers talk about it taking many months to get to the first Google Adsense payout (£60 in the UK) but after that it tends to get quicker. Search the hubs and forums for hubbers' experiences and you will find lots of people sharing how their income grew over months and years.
Ask your self a series of questons......is my hub interesting or did market my hub to the right audience.......etc.....revalue-ate every angle.....believe me you can do it.
Three of your five Hubs are about something for free, why would any visitors drawn to those Hubs want to click on an advertisement?
If you want to make money, you have to write with that intention behind what you are doing. Here's a Hub I wrote with suggestions for getting better earnings here,

i agree with bigmikeh, traffic is what makes money, how you gain traffic is by means of quality hubs, informative, useful, then visitors keeps coming to your pages, then money starts to come in
