Earnings

   Randy Godwinposted 5 years ago

   I'm seeing the worst earnings in my entire time on this platform. I hope it's simply me, but my Amazon and Google earnings are almost nothing these days. Is it time to sell my account, make like a cow turd, and hit the trail?
   
   It's been a long and lucrative run for me, but it looks like it's over if this continues. Anyone else having this problem?

      I'm still earning decent money each month but there's no doubt that the curse of the Adblocker is having an effect. Don't think there's an easy way round this. I write for younger student types on Owlcation and they are more likely to employ this feature so I read. Google updates are also a pain - the latest seems to promote crappier, dated articles.
      
      Updating your top hubs might help traffic return to AxleAddict so you stay ahead of the competition. And you can always write new ones! HP is still good for me personally so I'm renewing efforts. Glad you've had some reward for applying your skills as a writer - best of luck going forward.

      Mine are down by over 50% recently while traffic volume has decreased only slightly. I compared last January and did not notice the same trend. Seems like anytime there is a structural or policy change on this site the earnings drop. I’m hoping they recover but if they don’t I’m not sure it’s worth the inconvenience to maintain my content. If they keep dropping I delete my content and move on.

   That doesn't sound good Randy. My monthly earnings have been stable for the last year and about triple what they were two years ago, so although they are nothing to write home about, I can't complain. My views/traffic are increasing all the time though.

   I'm at 25% of the earnings of last January and 3 new hubs that I published last summer are bringing in up to 100 views a day (so earnings should go up comparatively). 100 is a good number for a single hub during the winter months as I mostly have gardening articles.
   
   I cross payout in a day or two in the summer, but this whole month I may barely make it. It's that bad. The main culprit is one of my caloriebee hubs that went from a steady 400 a day until the end of 2018 to 200 in 2019 and now it sits at just 20 a day. I gave up on it since it was in the health niche, even though all the info I have is sourced to peer-reviewed papers and it was basically a presentation I had in college around 8 years ago for a biology course.
   
   Since my gardening hubs are still doing well, I see a great summer even better than last year. From 4 figures to just hitting 50 bucks is a big swing. I don't like it, but I'm not really doing anything about it as of now.
   
   If you sell your account at most you'd get is 2 years' worth of income based on current prices of content and affiliate websites (not sure how much an HP account sells for). But if you just let it sit you'd make more than that in a few years if not 2. The good thing of having content here is that you do not have to really update it if you've written evergreen content.

   Randy, I think you need to write more and make sure that each article is moved to a niche site to get more traffic.
   No, I am not talking about short stories and flash fiction. If you look on your account page you will see what I mean.
   Your Georgia historical articles are interesting and I am sure you can do more in that area. When you finish, make sure that they are good enough to submit to a site like Owlcation. (You should manually submit your older Georgia articles too and if not accepted figure out why. Ask on the forums and people will give you crticism, even if it is kind of harsh.)
   Earnings are pretty low for everyone this month. I do not think I have seen numbers this low since 2017, but I am optimistic that it is going to get better.
   Concerning your Amazon earnings: Now that more people are using adblockers, the Amazon capsules seem to be less effective than they once were. I did not like the look of adding links to my articles, but when I followed lobobrandon and theraggededge´s advice and did so (eliminating the capsules too) my Amazon numbers shot way up. I rarely do not earn each day, whereas before I would see 0.00 reported several days each week.
   Dont hit the trail, just spend less time on those topical forums! (Yeah, I know, they are a wonderful way to waste time.)

         I have ten articles so far, 6 on niche sites, 2 which aren't and 1 which I have published 40 hours ago (hoping it gets moved.) All those articles on niche sites do not get me traffic at all. Just one of my articles, about waking up early, gets me some regular traffic (31 this month) otherwise nothing. I used to make 0.60 to close to a dollar each month but since the last 2-3 months, I'm barely making 0.10.
         
         In my short experience (I admit) here, having articles moved to a niche don't seem to get me traffic at all. I currently only receive traffic from quora (I've answered questions and linked back to my article) and since the past few months, that seems to take me nowhere as well.
         
         Any insights or something from experience you have to help me out with this?

            This is like saying "I have only driven a car 6 times. Based on my experience, driving a car is incredibly difficult."
            You should, at the very least, be able to write one article a month. You know what is needed, so make them all good enough to be moved to a niche site. (Why wasnt your time travel article moved? It would be performing better if it were not on HP main site.) Since you have been here 3 years, that would be at least 36 articles. No, I do not mean more creative writing for letterpile. I am sure you can see how they are doing on your account page.
            It may not seem like the amount of work you need to expend is worth the small amount of money that is coming back. Most of us have those kind of results the first year or two.
            It is, but only if you write more and increase your chances of finding success.

   Something we can agree on Randy! I became active here about 5 years ago. HP was transitioning, I was reading many negative comments, writers were leaving in droves, so was that my sign? I had lousy timing? Whatever the case, I am very close to a payout, waiting for that and then, while I don't want any part of cow turds, I will make a decision about hitting the trail too.

    I am updating, writing new articles, and submitting old articles to niche sites.  I occasionally use social media platforms when I see a chance to post a comment relating to one of my pieces. I see a steady climb and a dip once in a while. January is not a good month to decide to hit the road. I'd stay and see what happens, especially with HP cutting ties with Google Adsense on January 29th.  That is a significant change for HP, even though they say not a lot of money comes from Adsense.

    @Kenna,
    
    HP are not cutting ties with AdSense, they are merely amalgamating the one ad at the bottom of each article into the main HP Ads program. That's the ad that used to result in a trickle of pennies direct into our own Google AdSense account even if we had opted into HP Ads.
    
    We will no longer have a direct individual relationship with Google AdSense. But HP will still be using AdSense and we will benefit from higher rates because they are a 'bulk' customer. (In the same way we get a better commission from Amazon through HP Ads, rather than having an individual Amazon account).

       Do you know if Google will still be dictating HP policy re images, videos, and content? I ask because Google has threatened to remove their ads from some of my articles in the past because I have "gruesome" photos of things like a laceration or a video of a surgical procedure that I felt would be helpful to the reader.

    I'm still getting the views normal for this time of year, but ad clicks and amazon sales are way down. Only pennies a day instead of dollars. This happened about two weeks ago overnight and has continued. I almost had the $100 payout two weeks ago and will fail to reach it in the last two weeks of the month. I suppose I'll lose that almost $100 when I'm forced to change over to the HP programs.
    
    Something has happened to my account overnight. With normal views and no clicks on either affiliate, who knows?

    There's no doubt that earnings are low (though perhaps not as dramatically for me compared to some others commenting). I strongly suspect changes are on the way, however, given the new terms of use agreement, the ditching of Adsense, and the other things happening. I am cautiously optimistic. I mean Maven have a plan. No guarantee it will work, but there are clearly big changes afoot, which is almost certainly a good thing.

                This is a transition phase, as far as I'm aware. That's why I'm less concerned. It isn't really HP anymore, it's a subsid of a bigger company that specializes in publishing advertising. They were more doomed when they were on their own, I think. The Maven thing has opened up more opportunities and increased funding, as far as I can see. We should see the results of that this year I suspect, for better or worse. That's what I hope anyway, but there is some substance to that hope, it's not just blind faith. They are altering the user agreement so that they can give our work wider publication and potentially more earnings and views, I think. They/we have to jump through hoops and that's taken time. The Maven thing is not instantaneous.

                   What troubles me is the AdBlocker situation and the increased use of, especially by younger viewers I believe. The current thinking is that sites dependent on ads, like HP&Maven, should suggest to viewers not to use the AdBlocker as the ads are the only income source. I have a healthy income from HP and many thousands visit each month but compared to last year (and with a dozen more evergreen articles) earnings are down, mainly because of the AdBlocker I presume.

                      The problem with that is that when I go on sites that show a pop-up asking me to disable my (built-in-to-browser) adblock, I just back out of there and look elsewhere. And that would prevent people reading and perhaps clicking through an Amazon link.

And it's a right people should have to allow ads or not when reading. As a writer though I'm a bit concerned about loss of revenue - knowing there's not much I can do if a reader decides to adblock.

                   I think it's important to remember that the ad revenue doesn't just relate purely to the technical stuff. There is an old fashioned hustle that goes on persuading companies to pay for certain advertising campaigns at certain rates. If you are bringing in changes there is a tendency for a lull, as it's much easier to sell after a big change than before it. That's part of the reason why I'm hoping for a rise as the year goes on, anyway.

       Same, Kenna. Half of the first page of SERPs is ads now and the rest is unreliable or like, not even related to what I'm searching for. The quality problem isn't with HubPages, it's with Google algorithms.

          Well that is discouraging.  And here I was so happy that my articles are starting to make the first page of Google.  So you are telling me that searchers will dismiss my first page articles as "junk" or "unreliable"?  Not good for me who teaches gardening and so my articles are supposed to be authoritative, not junk.

    The views to my articles have always (in most cases)  remained the same but the value is decreasing. I will be earning a half of what I used to earn. Starting September last year, I started noticing decrease in earning despite increase on views.

    Does anyone know the ratio of the views nowadays? It was 60/40 when I first joined HP, but with all of the changes in policy, I have no clue how it works now. Is it true we have ads competing with ours which we don't earn from?

       When using straight AdSense, the answer is yes.  But as we know, that ends on the 29th. As for the HP Ad Program, as far as I know, all ads are still ours.
       
       Meanwhile, the news of the latest Google algo change has hit mainstream media. Consumer firestorm and all that. Google is even backtracking and saying they will "fix" it.

       A quote from that article: "In addition, 54% said they placed more trust in the website ranked first in the results than the others. Both of these points can cause major problems for consumers and none of it is the fault of the consumer."
       
       If someone is so dumb to trust a source based on its rankings it totally is the fault of the consumer. Google never claimed that trustworthy sites are ranked better.

    Checked my Amazon account this morning. The few items I've sold and shipped this month have disappeared along with my earnings. I thought we had till the 29th to switch over. Oh well, someone else will apprently get both my Amazon sales and my Google Adsense earnings. Only a 100 bucks or so, but still, I earned it.

       HP does not control your Amazon account, so it can't really go anywhere unless the items were returned. Look at the stats screen on the home page, did you make some money and then it went back to zero? If not, the items were never shipped in the first place, canceled after ordering or something of that sort.

          I know HP doesn't control my affiliate. Brando. I had 9 orders, five in the first two weeks and 4 just in the last few days. All were shipped with money added to my account.
          
          All 9 orders disappeared at once with there being no returns listed in the statement. It's as if they were never there. Poof! Gone with the wind.
          
          I'll have almost a $100 in my Adsense account which will be in limbo, I suppose. Anyone who can figure out how to get it can have it.

             That's weird about Amazon. But as Robin says, if you are not going to be using your Adsense account anywhere else you could close it and in that case you are paid as long as you have a balance of more than 10 USD.

    Impressions and cpm are down for me compaired to the same time last year. Not by much, but enough that I'm earning 1/3 of what I did for the same period in 2019. I have a few amazon sales, but I could never rely on them anyway so I doubt that is causing the difference.
    
    I'll at least still make payout so I can't complain too much, but it is disheartening to see such a drop in earnings again. I had a big drop from 2018-2019 as well and never really recovered as the year went on. That's my main concern. If I have a repeat of 2019 with a slow recovery there just may come a point I do not make payout. I'm already making less than I was for the same period of 2018 as well. The average cpm's were better in 2018 than they are currently too. For me it seems the lower cpm's are really effecting my earnings.
    
    I've always used the HP program so to see this kind of downward trend for the second year is a bit concerning. I really hope it is simply because Google search is so terrible right now, but if that's the case that's a lot harder to fix unless Google does some significant updates and gets the top pages back with quality work. I agree with whoever said search results are terrible right now. I jump to page three 90% of the time right now, because I know the first at least two pages are going to be garbage and unrelated to what I actually searched for.

    I suppose  the party's over. I can't log in to my Adsense account to see if I made enough to get the $100 payout or not. Needless to say, this is really pissing me off as it's still the 29th.

       That's crazy. Your Adsense account is independent of HubPages, so you should be able to log in to it as usual.
       
       I was also surprised that sales disappeared from your Amazon account. Again it is completely independent of Hubpages. So, unless (and even if) items were cancelled or returned, you should be able to see them. They can't just evaporate.
       
       Edit: Update: I earned Adsense $s overnight, and all sites are still listed on my Adsense account.

       I see what you are talking about with the earnings. I normally make a few dollars a day on Adsense but latest earnings are about 15 cents a day. I think you will find that the HP program is a lot better. My CPM went down a little in January, like everyones, but only a small amount. Nothing severe like those numbers I saw when I logged onto Adsense.
