I am a new user, and fairly new to the concept of generating ad revenue via blogs, etc. I've read much of the Help/FAQ info, and Q and A, but I am having trouble understanding a few things.
It seems to me that being successful at generating revenue via writing on HubPages, is based on the assumption that the user is already familiar, and somewhat advanced, with ad revenue tools... i.e. Google AdSense, etc. Is it possible to be completely NEW to both simultaneously, and still 'ramp up' quickly, or is it more realistic to assume that the more 'successful' Hubbers are those that are already experienced AdSense users (for example), prior to creating accounts on HubPages?
Many have come to HubPages with little or no knowledge of AdSense and optimizing content for revenue. HubPages provides the tools you need to get started, including YieldBuild that optimizes ad placement. A wealth of information is available in hubs and from the forum.
Welcome to Hubpages!
If you're completely new to using computers and the Internet, then you will have a lot to learn and much of what you do have to learn can be quite overwhelming.
The primary thing to remember is that you should not rush yourself and should learn at your own pace. Applying pressure to yourself is only going to make your learning experience all the more overwhelming and possibly too much to bare.
If you are familiar with computers and the Internet, then you already have a step in the right direction. Most of what you have to learn is mostly reading material. When you apply what you learn, then your learning curve is going to change and the amount of pressure you feel will be lessened.
I do hope you enjoy your time here at Hubpages.

My wife was a writer on Hubpages for over 2 years and she passed away in 2011. She has quite a following and people write comments several times per week on her hubs, which I do moderate and publish. In order to make a decision, I am not going to name her but I wanted to ask your opinions. ...

Hopefully someone from Hubpages HQ can look into this.I believe that those of us that are using a hosted account with Adsense are not getting any ad revenue on impressions from the niche sites.I base this on the fact that my daily impressions on Hubpages vs Adsense differ by a factor of about 100....

I am new to hubpages and was wondering how do you know when you start generating revenue, how do they pay you (ie: do they send you a check or do you have to set up a pay pal account)? I think I started the ad sense. Any help or suggestions are welcomed....

I've been on HubPages now for about 10 months and it took that long to generate 100.00, but since I hit my 100th hub or so my monthly revenue has gone up about 30.00 a month and I'm starting to see some decent change rolling in now.. seems a snowball effect happens when you get enough chump change...

I've been given the greenlight by HP HQ to write this and also post it on the forum for feedback. The reason I'm posting it for feedback is to see whether or not it's understandable to brand new hubbers. Is there anything that needs clarification, further explanation (or maybe less explanation) or...
