    Can I earn even a little cash by writing poetry on HubPages and does my hub score affect this?

    I am new to HubPages and I'm publishing poetry.  Is it possible to earn even a little cash and if so, does my hub score affect this?

    Hubscore has no influence on earnings. It's based on a mechanical set of parameters like word count, spelling and grammar. So, to earn money, you need a lot of traffic. That said, it is possible to make money with poetry, but advertising that poetry would be entirely on you. Since people using search engines wouldn't know to look for your poems, you would get virtually no traffic from them. So your ability to make money would be tied to how much you share and promote your poems on other, related, websites and social networks.

    In my experience it is possible to earn a little money from your poems but you have to work hard to promote them - share them on social sites for example, support other poets who will give feedback and shares and be sure to make your poetry hub worthwhile by showcasing your best poems and adding an introduction and perhaps some opinion on poetry.
    I try to combine poems I've written over the years and put them all onto one hub. This strategy works quite well for me.
    I wish you all the best.
