How successful your journey have been on hubpages?
I know this question has been asked loads of time, because every newcomer is curious to know about the successful and struggling not-so-successful hubbers. Do you make a living of the hubpages income? And dare I ask, How much you earn per month her combinig all the affiliates?
Been here two years and have earned nothing - zero. I write mostly poetry which is not a huge draw for views. I don't do it for the money which is a good thing because there is no money coming my way.
Trying to make money here is so time consuming that one would be making pennies per hour.
Personally, I can't write to meet SEO - Keyword etc. I view writing as an art form rather than a money-maker. But I guess there are those that make money--but they work very hard at it.
Really? I checked out some of your hubs and they are awesome. How can you not earn anything from them? That's out of my comprehension and a bit disappointing.
Thank you very much wowtgp. I have not idea what it takes to be successful here but to be honest, I don't give it much thought.
I have been fairly successful, but nothing like I want to be.
My views and earnings are steadily increasing. I joined a few months ago and was just making 2 cents per day for the longest time and now I am starting to see the pennies turn to dollars.
I have tried hub pages for years. I have not given up because it is the only place you can create really nice looking content. I spend hours on my hubs, I comment and read others. I hardly ever get any comments
It is all about content. What are people searching for? I write "how to" articles about swimming pool care and maintenance. I joined over 2 years ago and although traffic is slow right now because not many people are swimming this time of year. Last May, June, July, August and September I was getting monthly payouts of well over $300.00 with just 30 hubs. I am expecting that to increase significantly this season. I make more with just 30 hubs than some of those who have 7 or 8 hundred hubs. In today's economic state, people want to save money and so my articles are valuable to readers and are searched for often. And to duffsmoms' comment, I didn't really need to work that hard at it.
I don't make a living here, but I started as a hobby. It took one year for me to start making a pay out every other month. I have been keeping with that pace for a while now.
I've been here over two years, but have not put a lot of effort towards income here.
Right now, I barely make $20 a month through HubPages, and around $10 from adsense. While I do some onsite SEO, I do not do a lot of offsite SEO. Also I have only been able to write one article every couple of weeks.
I don't make a living on HubPages, and never plan to. It's one of several publishing projects I'm working on, and my goal is eventually to earn $100 to $200 each month here.
My first month, I just kind of tested the waters and didn't do much hard work. My second month, I published a few more hubs, got my first decently successful hub, and cleared $2 or $3 for the month. Three months in, my portfolio of hubs is growing, and I'll make $5 to $6 for the month.
My goal / expectation is to reach a point where I'm getting a regular monthly payout sometime between June and August.

My aim at hubpages is to earn an average of $500 or more per month in a years time. Right now I have 165 hubs and earn between $20-$30. I wanted to know if I can achieve my goal in a years time or less if I concentrate on keyword and good topic selection and don't do any backlinking.

One of the biggest ways to learn success on the web is to...study success.1. Go to Alexa.com's profile of Hubpages2. Go to the profiles of the hubbers who get the largest percentage of Hubpages' traffic.3. Examine what kind of topics they cover. How would these topics be useful for people searching...

I'm not sure If I ignored the link directing me to hubpages or if I clicked it, I can't recall but I do know it was from a article that had landed me at hubpages. So I am wondering.. Who is it! Who is making their money off me...

Does anyone make any money on Hubpages?Does anyone make any money on HubPages? I have written 63 hubs. 56 have been featured, so far I have made less than $10.00.

Anyone ever run the numbers on their views per hubs?I guess what this says to me is:1. I should study those more popular hubs to see if there are commonalities that I should focus on for future hubs2. I should write a LOT more hubs, figuring that I'm going to do a lot of culling of the less popular...
