Ok, so I did it. First $1000 Month on Hubpages :)

   Susana Sposted 14 years ago

   I've been working long and hard to reach the goal of the elusive $1000 per month from HubPages and this November I finally made it
   
   $611 amazon & $489 adsense.
   
   Hopefully with some consistent work I can keep to this level of income once Xmas has passed and supercede it
   
   I don't think I would have managed this if it weren't for some hubbers who freely share their huge amounts of knowledge about earning online such as sunforged, Misha, Mark Knowles, Peter Hoggan & thisisoli. The unwavering support of Frogdropping has helped immensely too, as have all the other friendly people in this community. So thank you Oh yeah, I better say thanks to HubPages too
   
   Right speech over - who's getting the beers in?!

         We just take different approaches. When I learn something new I go back and edit my old hubs to incorporate the new info - I've done this numerous times. I just try to make sure that each hub is working as hard as possible

            I must admit I took Marisa Wright's advice to heart - don't bother working on the ones that are failing, work on making the ones that are going well, better. I usually chalk the others up to learning. Although 75% of my hubs don't have any keyword research, I've come across better (IMO) ways to get traffic.

               The cool thing is that a hub can stew for months, and suddenly, out of the blue, get a hit and convert to a sale.  That happened on one I'd given up on this week!
