    Who's brave enough to answer - How much are you making from hubpages currently?

    I know it's silly and probably insignificant, but I am curious to know - How many hubs have you written, how long have you been writing on hubpages and how much are you currently making?

    So far, I've been wit hubpages 8 months, I just finished my 200th hub, and I have been generating a steady $15 to $20 a month.... not sure if that's a good ratio or not, lol. smile

    Well sheesh. I didn't figure it was "fantastic" or anything, but pathetic isn't really the word I would use to describe my earnings. Meager, "in the low end", something like that. =/

    Either way, I suppose I still appreciate the feed back, lol, and the hub.

    Not much..certainly I'm not giving up the day job...yet!
    i asked a similar question and had feedback about my hubs saying things like my hubs were personal opinion and I presume this meant they would not earn much but when I looked at high earning hubbers many of their hubs were opinions...so go figure.

    I've tried backling, google word search, etc etc and have had a few flurries but nothing to write home about.
    I'm still trying to work out what the tricks of the trade are.. a little confusing because when i read some hubs of people who I believe are earning well I just don't find their hubs very interesting on a personal level but obvioulsy  they have a good deal of followers who do enjoy their work.
    So I guess i can't really see what is setting them part from the slow earners because i think it's all happening behind the scenes eg backlinking, other websites and perhaps something I've not discovered yet!
    I don't think your earnings are "pathetic" I prefer to call them "full of potential" "aspirational", "growing", "full of promise"..good luck!

    Unless you are a marketing genius and really great at writing quality hubs in an hour, don't expect to get rich quickly. There is a learning curve here. There is a podcast by Simone. I just heard it this week on hubbing here.She offered a lot of great tips.

    People may not give you an exact answer because it is against the ToS to discuss your earnings.

    It takes a long time to make money when writing online for most people. You have to master Seo, write quality article  And find a  profitable niche. We need positive feedback. And encouragement from others to make HP successful. Some people write for the fun of writing. I love this site and hope to increase my  earnings. It is probably best not to compare earnings  it can create negative feelings and comments. I believe that the person who asked the question is doing fine.

    I don't make very much money yet, but I do love to write. I get excited when I get a check because it is icing on the cake.
    As for JGaunt, I think that it is "pathetic" that you have to insult others to make yourself feel important.
    BizGen Girl, you are doing fine, keep it up!

    I have been making a big fat zero. Haha!!

    I never turned on my add-sense acount thing ... I do not write here for the few pennies which Hub-pages would like to offer me. I write because I love to write and have been writing for many years.
    Cheers!

    P.S. I suppose in jGaunt's humble opinion, my earnings are beyond pathetic rofl

      Mr. Happy,

      Why leave money on the table? I don't get it? I write here and am probably paid a whopping 20 cents but it is my 20 cents and it does grow over time.

      I know adsense is clumsy to set up but a dollar saved is a dollar earned.

    I make decent money for being a technical writer rather than a creative writer. I am here for the research. I enjoy the hunt and sharing the treasures is even more fun.

    I have several Hub Pages accounts and now I will start vertical marketing with Wordpress.

    I have seen my works referenced and people grow and learn and this is the true treasure.

    As a former Finance Director, I encourage all writers to apply for adsense and not leave money on the table. Yes, the dollars are tiny are first but they do grow over time.

    I earn sometimes as much as $8 a day on one of my account as little as less than 10 cents. Volume and the commercial nature of the content is the determining factor. Google wants commercial - HubPages wants volume - both demand unique and compiling content.

    According to the stats on my Hub about earnings, over 60% of the respondents say they make less than $10 per month and 18% say they make $10-$50 per month.
