I wouldn't say that I'm actually "Unhappy with Hubpages"-- but I am definitely unclear on how to actually make money contributing to Hubpages. I'm needing more of an incentive to write and submit work to this site. If there is a way to understand how to create income from this, then I would be more motivated to continue posting here.
Have you signed up with Google Adsense and joined the HP Ads program? You need to do those things first if you haven't already.
Then you need to write hubs that people want to read. You need to make them findable in the search engines. A keyword rich title should help.
When you start getting thousands of visitors a day, you will make money through the two programs listed above. You can also join eBay and Amazon through the HP earnings program to try your hand at affiliate marketing.
Read up everything you can about SEO/keyword research/optimisation techniques that you can find, and there is loads of info on Hubpages itself about those topics.
HP is a very powerful platform to write on. You will find that out soon enough if you use the correct keywords to attract people to your hubs.
Good luck.

I see that the general forum topics revolve around Hubs being copied, Hubpages not doing well, views going down, no future for hubpages, etc. etc. So the general unhappiness continues.. I had taken a break for about a month to write on other sites and of course, earn from it, but have returned with...

Since I finished the apprenticeship, and after umpteen updates and changes made on HP, my traffic has never picked up. I can't remember the last time I saw any more than 40 views a day. My average at the moment is more like 30. The articles I worked long and hard to produce, sit there doing nothing...

I feel that Hubpages wants to get rid of me are a member...I Probably take this new rating to personally, but it's NOT encouraging! I had every intent to re-edit some of my articles to see if I could get it republish and see my ratings getting up at least some, and silly of me, one of my best and...

I read somewhere, on some inspirational quote meme or something (off to a vague start, I know!), something along the lines of going an entire day without complaining and watching your world change.I decided that this was a worthwhile challenge. Of course the day I can across this and decided to...
