I have 24 hubs and last month I netted 20 cents. Why should I bother with hubpages?
You may need to go through your hubs and optimize them. Also you need to do hubs on topics people are searching for and want to read so do some keyword research.
also keep in mind that hubs earn more the longer they've been published so there is a need for patience.
I have 42 hubs and have made way more than you this month. I also routinely update them, ensure I have good summaries, proper keyword usage and I backlink my hubs as well.
When you write and publish you have to do more to draw traffic as well. Don't give up on it too soon. You may also want to write for other sites - like have a blog etc. and link your hubs/blog to each other as well. This generates more income/traffic for both places.
I'm not sure how long you've been with hub pages and what kind of material you write but all good things come with time, patience and perseverance. I saw very little activity my first few months. My activity spiked (for)me about my fifth month. It was exciting but I'm by no means earning the big bucks! Write because you love to do it and learn to write what people are looking for. My most viewed hubs are "my how to..." hubs. Keep trying and don't give up.
for the joy of writing. does it really have to be about money to make it worthwhile?i have over 50 hubs and i have never made more then $.17 in a month.
You really must decide if you are here for fun or to make a few pennies. Most people are here just for fun, like me, and make their money in the real world. Keep on hubbing!

Now that I achieve about 12000 page views per day, I felt it a good idea to give Kontera a whirl to see how I got on. Afterall, I have heard that people can achieve $5+ per 10000 page views.It was a complete failure, although my primary concern was the effect on my AdSense income. I enabled Kontera...

So far, (Saturday 16th December 2024), this month has brought the lowest earnings by a huge margin for many, many years on Hubpages.Is anyone else experiencing something similar?What on earth is going on with this site? It used to be a really good sideline, but now it's hopeless.

Prior to last month my idea of promoting Ebay was to stick an Ebay capsule at the end of my Amazon hubs, I made about $10 bucks a month doing that.So my first lesson was you want to make real money from any affiliate program - including Ebay - you have to design a hub to promote the products and...

My September earnings on HP amounted to more than $1,300. That includes Adsense, HPads, and Amazon sales. IF (notice - big if) this continues, hubby will be able to retire soon, which has been my goal all along. Last November and December, I think I made around $1,200 for each of those months, due...
