My friend if you are on Hubpages to make "good" money; unfortunately you will be disappointed. Not trying to be negative, just honest.
lol....that is something i beleive, i love to write, but love getting paid even more!
It is possible but, like anything else, it involves creativity, hard work, dedication, motivation, and advertising. Many people want to make money on HubPages, but they do not work at it or invest enough time/energy into this site.
I think most people will not make more than supplemental income here. If you created only search friendly posts, made this you full time job, and posted over a hundred hubs a month, then you might make some good pay.
Without years of hard work it isn't likely. It isn't very likely no matter what, but the least you will have to do is spend years here. I make enough to pay a few bills a year so I won't complain, though I have to admit it would be nice to make some more!
Really all you're looking at it is some spare change. But that's better than no spare change, right?

Is there anything that needs clarification, further explanation (or maybe less explanation) or...

I have written under the guise of different pseudonyms on HubPages since 2010. I never earned more than $5. Can you earn money on this site from writing fiction or is this site more a 'self-help' 'how to' blog that needs 'polls, pictures and links etc?'
