10 Tips for Making Money with Hubpages, Online Article Writer

When writing online articles, the content should to be of good quality. The content also have to be useful for your readers, everyone wants to read content that is of good quality and that is useful to them as a reader. Good quality content can mean 'staying on the subject,' also good quality can mean making sure your content has correct grammar and no spelling mistakes. Some writers may use 'Microsoft Word' to help check the grammar and spelling of their online articles. Microsoft Word also has 'word count' at the bottom of each document. A good written article can have at least 700 or more words of content.

Try to always write valuable and unique content, never steal anyone else's content. Being a unique writer is writing on subjects that no one has really wrote about. For instance, if the competition for Real Estate is high, create a low competition title such as "Real Estate in the Valley of California." Selling houses would have to be a topic that you know something about, to share your knowledge with an online audience, or your research on that subject.

As a writer, never admit to having 'writer's block' it is a slap to you as an artist. Writing about things that you have talent and skill in, is a great idea. Everyone has talents, gifts, and skills; and Hubpages is where you can write about them. If you are good at cooking, write unique ideas and recipes about your art in cooking.

Hubpages SEO

Learning all there is to know about search engine optimization will help you make money on Hubpages. SEO will get you more visitors to your articles. It's not about having the most number of written articles, but it's even better when using SEO. For example, one Hubber can have 100 articles written with not so many views, and another Hubber can have 50 articles but uses SEO tips; this will definitely get this Hubber more views.

Search engine optimization can include mentioning part of your articles title throughout your article. Mention your article's title at least 4 times throughout your Hubs. Your title is your main keyword.

Once you start following other Hubbers, there will be Hubbers that will follow you also. When a Hubber comments on your articles, as a common-courtesy you would comment back on one of their articles as well.
