How many articles do you think must be published on Hubpages every week to earn a bill-paying...
income?
My best guess is that the key is not how many articles have to be published, but how high your hub pages rank on Google, so when someone types in the right keywords your article comes up in the first page of searches.
It depends what source of income you're looking at - Google adsense, Clickbank affiliate products, Amazon products, etc.
The key to making sufficient money on hubpages is to write quality hubs, persuing keyword terms that are high in searches but low in competition.
If this ranks on google you should recieve adequate traffic, and if that traffic can convert to, say, ad clicks, you're on your way to making a bill-paying income from hubpages.
Its not about quantity, its about quality. Some of the successful hubbers that I chat to have a small selection of well written and researched hubs yet they make a good amount from them. People with loads of poor quality hubs make very little.
It can sometimes pay better to market the small amount of hubs you have rather than just flood the "market" with crap.
It's also not about quality, as some may lead you to believe. Once I figure out the 'gimmick' I'll be way ahead of the earning money game.
How long's a piece of string?
And how big are your bills lol! Hubpages rank really, really well in the search engines. I used to make little mini-niche sites before Hubpages was born, and ended up having a nice 'bill-paying' consistent income from it. Some of the sites converted well, and some just plain didn't.
It's all about the market you choose and the quality of the content you write. People like quality content. People pass quality content around. Someone else here said that quality content was key. I really agree with that.

So my first article has been published on HubPages network site- Turbo Future. I had never expected this. This is for those who feel lost here. We never know what happens! Just keep going!

I have two new followers recently and neither has anything published on hubpages. How do I find outI have recently gotten two followers that have no published content on Hubpages. How do I get them to unfollow me?

I've noticed that when it comes to traffic, my hubs on network sites (ex. turbofuture, pairedlife) perform a lot better than my hubs on hubpages.com. I'm just wondering if there are certain ways we can do to increase the views for these hubs other than just sharing them on social media. I'm asking...

I notice I still have some articles published on Hubpages.com. What's the story about those? Are they visible and indexed on the web? The URLs are appearing in a search, so they must be.

Is anyone holding back on doing any new hubs? I am working on one but fear publishing yet
