I'm looking for other history teachers and/or enthusiasts who write lots of hubs that are related to history. I'm always looking for new information that I can incorporate into the courses that I teach. I was also wondering if anyone has success making money from their history related hubs. And if so, how?
I have reciently gone back to school on-line, this time for a degree I want; History. I love to write and do write History papers mostly for Hobby and a blog. Have never made a dime though.
Check out the hubs of Sufidreamer: http://hubpages.com/profile/Sufidreamer
and the hubs of Darkside: http://hubpages.com/profile/darkside
Both are very good writers and have plenty of History hubs.
Thanks everybody. I'll start going through some of your hubs as I get the chance.
How exactly will you be 'incorporating' the content into your courses?
In the same way that I incorporate the stuff that I hear on NPR on the way to work. The more examples that I can give to demonstrate points, and the deeper my knowledge of the content, the better I can make the class. It's amazing how often things just pop up in the course of a history class.
Patty Inglish has a series of well-written history hubs and she simply presents the facts, no political bias.
she is a very successful hubber, you might want to check her out.

I do the history hubs for the love of the subject.
Most traffic is from students looking for information for history school projects.
I've written a lot of hubs about history; esp those quirky areas people are unfamiliar with...from Jews in the Caribbean to the Invasion of Iceland
I am a homeschooler and write a blog about ancient history for my kids to use in their lessons. I write about history topics on hubpages that are interesting to me and will help my blog get exposed to more homeschoolers. My site is http://www.ancienthistoryforhomeschool. I invite you to check it out and leave your comments!
Hi Freeway Flyer,
I am new to HubPages but I minored in History at College, and just strated writing some US History Hubs. Would love you to comment on them and see if I am on the right track. About making money--none.
Iam a history hubber, fairly new to this site but i love history and much like yourself I am a teacher as well. i have a couple hubs let me know what you think. I am working on sevral projects that engage student and will be happy to offer any help I can
Thanks a million and good luck.
You might want to have a look at Paraglider and IantoPF also.
I was a History major in college and I love to incorporate history in many of my screenplays and short stories. I've only written a very few history type hubs but they get a lot of traffic.
Maybe you can be more specific on what it is you are looking for. Go to the questions section and ask someone to write a hub on a specific topic and I'm sure you will get plenty of responses.
I love history and try to occasionally add a history hub or two just for fun! Certain ones do add a little cash now and then. Mine are about places I have visited personally and found interesting!
HI I have written a few, take a look- some more in the pipeline. Nos of readers are not particulalry high but they are appreciative- and yes, some do add cash
I just looked at your profile. Look forward to checking some out. I can get stronger especially in ancient history.
I love history and include some in a few of my hubs. I plan to write more soon about a historical American city..

jambo87; tonymac04; Depends on what/who's history you need.
Hi there.
There is always a demand for more history writers. I'm not sure if there is a lot of money to be made, but there is a lot of pleasure from getting appreciative comments. Best wishes for all your efforts.
Again what period of history are you interested in?
I write some English and Ancient Egyptian history hubs - you can make some Adsense money from them and sell a few books off Amazon if you can drive enough traffic to them. They don't make nearly as much money as product reviews, 'how tos', and sales hubs though.
I mostly teach American history, so my hubs tend to gravitate toward that subject. But I will be branching out soon.
Hi, Freeway Flyer,
I've written about 15 history hubs, mostly to do with Ancient Rome, but a couple about early aviation and a couple more about Ancient Egypt.
I haven't made any money froom them as I set the 'advertising' box at 'Low'. If you do want to earn cash from your hubs, keeping advertising at 'High' will help. I just like writing.
Best of luck with your hubs!

Hello Hello (name of a Hubber)
publishes lots of interesting Hubs on History. Her latest one is about the Titanic.
i majored in history, but not sure how much $$ there is to be made
I've got a couple history hubs up.
In the non-virtual world, I do presentations about Michigan's colonial history for students, historical societies, and other interested parties.
I have a few about California Gold Rush history-- and working on another one. I don't think they have earned much, but that wasn't my reason for writing them.
Hi Freeway Flyer
I only have a few history hubs, some about Ancient Greece and one about my hometown in England. I make a little money off the Ancient Greece hubs, probably from adverts about Greek villas and holidays, but nothing worth getting excited about.
Shinkicker writes some wonderful Hubs about the history of Glasgow, and LondonGirl will take you on a tour through the history of England. Randy Godwin has some fascinating US history hubs. Iskra1916 and Endamac have the Irish angle covered, and James A Watkins is a fine historian and writer.
There are many more that I have temporarily forgotten, but I rarely have time to read nowadays
Hope that helps
Hi Freeway Flyer
I wrote couple of hubs on the second world war mainly the holocaust victims and the concentration camps but I have one on Ernst Rohm,
Freeway - Do you teach adults or children?
I can only offer my expertise in the Music History department. Best of luck!
I teach community college students. What kind of music do you focus on?
Historia does history hubs and only that. He has about 112 hubs, but only 13 followers. He deserves many more...check him/her out.
History was one of my least favourite subjects and is one of my eldest daughter's favourites - she has a minor in history. However, I have just published, and am continuing to publish a family history that spans almost 150 years and I am now completely hooked on the subject and have an appreciation as to why it is some people are "history buffs". So far I'm on #7 and I am absolutely hooked.
I am doing a series of poems on famous Indian Chiefs of Ohio. I love that stuff.
Frogdropping has done a hub on the Lisbon earthquake and another on a diplomat who issued Portuguese visas to Jewish refugees and helped thousands escape the Holocaust.
My "High Cost of Virginity" hub is social history, and so are the law student hubs about nitroglycerine and "Eating the cabin boy".
Perhaps ask HubPages to set up a history category?
I have known two top History Hubbers that did some great researches on World War historical facts and issues:

I am preparing my 100th hub, and for that I want to review 100 hubs written by other Hubbers. Please post links to hubs - your own or those of others - that you would want me to include. One link per post, please. I intend to review only one hub for each Hubber.
by BenWritings 14 years ago
Please post a link to one hub ( poem ) you want to share, and I will check it out. I'm mostly doing this to find new people to follow and read.Thanks

I think I'm a decent writer in my areas of expertise, but would like to get better if only to see my Hub score get higher. Kinda stuck at 88, even though I had added pictures and added daily new Hubs for about a week or so.

When googling something are you looking for short easy to read or long very explained answers?I'm confused. We are encouraged to write very long hubs. However I have always been the one when googling something to look for the shortest easiest (but of course understandable) answer. To me google is...

HubPages is not a big money earner for Hubbers, so what inspired you to join?

When you first joined hubpages. Did you ever get discouraged, because?When you first joined hubpages, we're you at all shocked or surprised to see fellow hubbers with impressive numbers like 1000+ hubs written? Did seeing such numbers at first, discourage you any, motivate you, or pose itself to...
