How many hubs does it take to make money?
Curious about the success stories on HP, being pretty new myself to it.
well in truth it could be just one, if the content is unique and it's what people are searching for. It also depends on how much money your talking about.
Brian Slater is right...it could just be one. How much you make per hub all comes down to how searched the subject you write about is, how well you pick your keywords to rank well, how much money each click is worth with those particular keywords, and how well you promote yourself. I have over 200 hubs now and make a decent amount, nothing too fantastic but enough to keep it in my work day, but most of them were written before I had any keyword understanding at all and I did very little to enhance the hubs or promote them. The ones I posted within the last couple of months are doing much better than all but about a half a dozen of these, and about 20-30% of my earnings are still tied up in a single hub that just happened to be in demand, even though I didn't know it at the time I wrote it.
To sum up: the number doesn't matter, here quality definitely rules over quantity.
thanks you two - I am an IMer and only (almost...) a year at it. Make most of my money from my websites (self hosted) though have only now begun to see some profit in my hubs.
I also found other hubbers that have posted their earnings (Ryankat or something like that...forget the name) - pretty impressive.
Can't argue with a backlink that pays you!
Do you guys have any tips to maximize earnings potential - like with the Amazon modules or AdSense?
Thank again!

I am a member of Hubpages for 6 months an I have 20 Hubs. (Due to illness I stopped writing for a little while) However i have made a total of 94cent on Google an absolutely nothing through Amazon. Should I give up now or keep trying? Honestly?

I have just started, so I dont expect it in the near future, but how many hubs, or how many months before you start making money? How much traffic is considered to be good traffic? Right now I am getting about an average of 75 hits per day on 4 hubs. Is that good? What...

Welcome to Hubpages.I received my first ad click in the first few weeks I was here.The more content I post the more the amount of clicks have increased. I did not start seeing any clicks until I started receiving traffic from search engines.

How many hubs did it take you before you started to make decent money here?Just curious how many hubs those of you who make decent money on here had up before you started making decent money every month (at least enough to payout monthly)?
