You write original interesting keyword researched articles and attract internet traffic through the search engines. You sign up for Adsense (ads are automatically placed) and Amazon affiliation and place product adverts on your pages.
Each time someone clicks or buys something you share the revenue with Hubpages.
It is easy to talk about, but doing it successfully has eluded me so far.
Great answer Mark. However I would like to add that HubPages keep 40% of the advertisement share while you get 60%.
There are several ways you can earn through hubpages -
Write useful hubs, the information of which people are looking for, and invite traffic through search engines -.
Then by adding your adsense account to your hubs where you are likely to get clicks to your ads seen there,
Also by adding Amazon affiliate link and if people buy anything through your hubs, you will get a commission.
If you have a Kontera account you can add that affiliate link, which may also bring some commission, if a click happens.
If you have ebay account add that affiliate link to your account, which can also bring some commission, if a sale takes place through your hub.
Hope this is helpful.
I have written only 11 hubs, and have recently started earning a little money. I try to write articles with good content and to write what I know. You must learn SEO or search engine marketing, and I bought a simple book that really helped me. One of the most important factors is to select a good title using researched keywords. If you write researched articles, it takes longer and sometimes is not worth the time and effort. The hub that attracts the most visitors for me is about fixing a pesky computer error which I wrote in a very short time. Of course, you must sign up for affiliate marketing as explained by Mark. Then you write lots of hubs before you earn much money. It does not happen overnight, so be patient. Good luck.
I'm not a huge fan of info barrel, but I do write there too. They pay a higher percentage to the writer. . . . but they aren't as advanced a community as hubpages, and they don't rank as high in search engines. Were I you, then I'd concentrate on writing about what you know the most about rather than worrying about keyword research, Keywords are very important, but how can anyone write well about things that they don't know anything about?

As a writer, how do you feel when people refer to your hub as a blog?It's clear many people still have a very hazy view of how this Internet thing works and they've picked up the idea somewhere that all self-published content on the web is blogging. How do you feel about your magazine-length,...

I found this graph huge in original size @ http://crunchydata.com/content-sites.htmHubpages is #5 and is recommended to write for when published in Feb 2010 almost four years ago. Does anybody have any newer comparisons of revenue sharing quality that has quality writing?

I have an idea for Hubpages to look into and implement if does not involve complications. More and more adsense publisher accounts are being disabled and top hubbers are being targetted. HP may come out of it unaffected if it considers to place its own publisher ID for 100% impressions for...

I will try in short because I explored whole day about HubPages and I still need some confirmation how to proceed on best way if possible?Before 2 years I lost AdSense because of stupid reasons like wrong keywords (I know, I was rookie) and since it was impossible for me to check all blogs + posts...
