Sorry, just can't help it. But I've been here 3 weeks, with 7 hubs, and no earnings. Am not complaining, I was prepared to wait and hubbers here are great!
But right after I published my 2 hubs in the HubChallenge for 3 days now I have $0.47! This is great!
Day 1: http://hubpages.com/hub/MAKE-MONEY-ONLI … K-PROVIDER
Day 2: http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-15-Amateur-Singing-Moments
I don't know if it's coincidental, or if my hubs for the HubChallenge are better but there it is, my first earnings from HubPages. Hope it's not a fluke!
You beat me and I've been on here for 3 months. Congrats!
Congrats mommyfreelancer!
KCC that's a very good tip. Will apply it right away!
How do you participate in the Hubpage Challenge?
You just jump in. It's 30 hubs in 30 days. Day 1 is when you chose it to be. The 'rules' are here: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17849
When you publish your hubs you can post links to this thread only: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049
You can meet the Challenge team here: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/17940
If you have questions, holler!
Definitely not a fluke.
CONGRATULATIONS. I wish your more and more earnings.
My income has increased too. Slowly, but, Improving.
The challenge is great isnt it?
I'm really glad you guys are seeing some of the many benefits of participating in the HubChallenge ALREADY! Can you imagine day 31? You'll be posting YOUR graphs next go around! It is very exciting! Keep up the great work!
Well done its a nice feeling when you earn even a small amount, it will grow, keep writing !
This seems like as good a place as any to mention this...but do you guys/gals have each hub set up in Google Adsense under the "URL Channels"? This feature allows you see day by day which hub(s) are bringing in that 47 cents. It's fascinating. It's not always the hub getting the most pageviews like you assume it would be.
How to set it up:
Copy the URL for the hub you want to track.
Go to google.com/adsense and log into your Adsense account
At the top just above your "today's earnings" you'll see a white tab with blue lettering sticking up that says "AdSense Setup"
Click that tab and when you do it changes screens and that tab turns blue with white writing and opens up new options below it. You'll see "Channels". Click on that.
On the left side, right in the middle of all the darker blue writing it says "URL channels" just to the right of "Custom Channels in black.
Click on URL Channels and it will turn to black lettering and just below it you'll see "+add URL channels" in blue. Click on that.
Just below that, a box now appears and above the box it tells you how many more channels you can enter. It does have a max. My suggestion would be once you get close to reaching that max you start omitting some older ones that don't do much.
Paste the URL in the box and click "add channel". You'll see your hub URL appear in the list.
Now when you call up Adsense, you'll be able to see that 28 cents came from this hub, 10 cents from this hub, etc. It helps you determine which of your hubs are making you the money. If you can figure out WHY, do more of whatever that is.
Oh I never knew this! Thanks KCC!
BTW congratulations, mommyfreelancer!
Great information. After I see my hub what is the next step?
See above. If you still need help, email me.
Sorry, I'm still getting used to the AdSense thing, but I was wondering, do I need to then check the boxes next to the links I've added at "Activate" them? What does it mean to "activate" them anyway?
This was great information! Thanks for posting it.
Thank you so much. I had totally forgotten about adding my new hubs to the channels. I have noticed a slight increase in my income. So slight, but im so thrillled!!!!!
Hi, KCC. I did this but when I log in to the Adsense Report, it does not show the individual URLs, instead it just has a line for hubpages. Could it be because of this message "Please note that the channel data in your report below may overlap if ads are tracked by multiple channels. Only your aggregate reports will be used to calculate payments"??
Help, please. How do I view them?
Thanks very much!
BTW...you guys/gals are doing great! The earnings start out slow, but take off really quickly when they do. It took me MONTHS before I saw my total at $20. But after the last hub challenge in May, I've now reached my first payout. I'm working towards a much quicker 2nd payout.
good job..i'm very happy for you..neat--you're seeing some $$$$- i got some, too- less but we are hubbingly happy - yipppeeeee--
keep up the challenge--
I reached my first payout today also,feels like something accomplished writing hubs.
Watching earnings rise and gather momentum is like watching a thermometer got to love it, lol
VERY Cool KCC Just setup channels for my hubs; will be interesting to see what makes what then build on that.
Actually I just dug around on Analytics and found something similar to this.
Login to Analytics (if you've linked your Adsense to Analytics) and Click on 'Content' -> 'Adsense' -> 'Top Adsense Content.'
It will break down each page and what it's earned, bit more comprehensive.
Thanks, KCC for that tip. Now I will know if it is really the HubChallenge hubs or the others that made me rich! LOL!
And thank you, all. Good luck to all of us!
Aww... look at it this way. You started waaaay early, so pretty soon you'll be earning lots! Cheers!
You can't have an account here either,
Once You register you may create a Hub to become a Author. Only adults (18 years and over) may become Authors.
http://hubpages.com/help/user_agreement
Sorry. ciao.
You mean even if I have not a AdSense account, it still records my revenue?
But really, what's the point of being over 18 and being an author? This is discrimination. But wait, I am over 18! In human age (me as a panda), I'm 42 years old. Lol, 42.
And it didn't say anything about being 18 when I signed up. Not my fault
We should all post our graphs after we complete our challenge. May need to make another stickied thread for that (Post-Challenge Follow-up) or something like that.
It'll have to be something coordinated through Darkside and Ryan Hupfer.....because it's ongoing....the 'end' is hard to define, but I'm sure they'd love to post some success stories to encourage the next round once this initial round hits it's 30 days.
That's what I was thinking, it's not really an "This is the end of the challenge post" but more of a "Did you finish your challenge? Show your results to encourage others..." That's all
Yeah, I think this is a great idea....once we start to get some HubChallengers that have finished, we can come up with a way to show their results.
Wow, that's great. I am getting tons of traffic, but in fact, have gotten absolutely zero beginning on Friday, the start of the challenge. I am beginning to wonder if the rest of July is a wash.
July has been my best month, if I remembered very well I have been doing my on challenge since june, and with june 26 - 30 july I have managed to doubles my hubs and gaze what the adsense income has also double, initially with 20 hubs I was earning less than $3 a month but since then am past $10, hope this new challenge will make it better
Awesome stats guys! Kidgas, have faith.....if you write it, they will come.....(corny I know).
Thanks for the encouragement KCC. I appreciate it. Just had 4 days in a row with no revenue and thought with the increase in hubs and readers, I wouldn't see that large a drought. My earnings did increase from June to July by 50% as the number of hubs increased so I agree with your sentiment corny as it is.
After my first earnings of 47cents it hasn't moved
But I'm still lovin' the HubChallenge!
Is there a way to check how much money you're earning by checking something in HubPages? or do you always have to go to your Google AdSense account?
As far as I know the only way is to click into your Adsense account, but you have a shortcut to it on your "My Account" screen if you click "affiliate settings", then "check Google adsense". (now that I think about it, it might be easier to type. google.com/adsense and log in. LOL)
Earning something every day, not enough yet, but encouraging.
All thanks to the 30-30 challenge.
I can't view the individual URLs though so I don't know where the 47 cents came. Anyone know how to do it? Thanks.
Click the line that says "Top Channels"...it's at the top just between "adsense for content" and the number of page impressions for the day. You can switch to a different time period other than today (like month to date, all time, etc) and do the same thing.
Thanks, KCC. I posted another forum on this
I was under the impression it can also track those before I listed the individual URLs. I am now enlightened. Cheers!

Hi Fellow Hubbers!I have done a bit of (unscientific) averaging of AdSense income on HubPages.com, and calculated an earnings rule for Hubs:On average, any given hub will earn about $10.00 per year.My page showing my sources is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Hubbers-Reveal- … s-EarningsDoes this...

Okay, guys! What am I doing wrong here? I have written 39 hubs, and only made $4.94 on AdSense. That must be the hardest earned $4.94 of my life - no joke! I made more than that in one evening of babysitting 25 years ago.HELP!! Please!! I have heard it takes...

Instead of fiddling around with Google Adsense and Analytics to figure out which Hub is making me money, Can the team add a new feature to show number of ad clicks for each hub?I am techie and I have been fiddling around for almost 3 days with Google Adsense and Analytics to figure out what is...

I'm new to HubPages, so give me a break if this is a terrible question. I nearly have 40 followers, and I have posted 15 hubs in 5-6 weeks. When do you start making the big bucks?
by Simone Haruko Smith 9 years ago
Are you in the midst of a Hub Challenge? Fantastic! Should you like to share the Hubs you have published as you continue along on your epic journey, share them here. Please do not post Hub links in other threads or start a new thread for individual Hubs. That makes things messy, and makes it harder...
