Hi
I can't help but think that the affiliate scheme has great potential, but I still haven't managed to earn anything from it.
I have put the link on various forums, had lots of clicks and even three sign-ups but not a single hub posted by an affiliate.
Has anyone managed to make any revenue this way and do you have any tips on places to find potential punters?
Thanks
Me too. I have 7 people join from my affiliate link. Only two have written a handful but they are writing each week.
I've noticed this too with other revenue sharing websites. I have a about 7 people join from my referral link with about a dozen revenue sharing websites but only a couple are writing each week. I feel it's better than nothing. When I first joined Hubpages I didn't write seriously until about a year later.
I feel ya.
Just putting your referral link out randomly will only get you random results. Like anything else, it works best when targeted.
In other words, if you don't get referrals who are interested in making quality Hubs, you will find you don't get much in the way of revenue.
I make a little over $100 per month from my referrals.
I'm still working on the whole referal thing so I cant give you the best advice. I have to admit though it is harder than I thought!
I have about a dozen people signed up under me and of those that write, they have written about 90 hubs. I make about $3.50 a month from these articles. It is not much, but it is still something.

Wondering if users who have been inactive for years still earn anything.

There’s so much talk about Medium and how great it is. After all these years I’m still a huge hubpages fan. It’s more laid back and passive income from a website that’s been around for so long is more valuable than anything. I even reached out to hubpages and they let me know that if I passed away...

Hi,I have other accounts here (this is my forum account). So far in the two days of Amazon earnings reports in the new HubPages-linked Amazon products, I only see products listed that I directly linked to. Usually I earn commission from products that were bought using my affiliate links...
