Making Money on Hubpages

   brandonakellyposted 13 years ago

   I just wanted to start a topic in the forum to see how well some people are doing with their hubs. I've been a member for almost a month and made about $7.50. Feel free to leave how much you make per month and advice for others as well. Thank you!

   I posted a thread about what I was making (both on HP and elsewhere) a bit back. I live off what I earn online - 100%
   
   No other income and all gained since I started here

         Just saw this and the answer is no. Tried it ages ago but the forum is confusing at best - which is why I joined. I like to learn from those that are ahead and tbh the website building etc was beyond where I was at the time.
         
         The truth is I've pretty much learned what I have from here - and a hubber that's consistently fed info and encouraged me to learn from it. So my  knowledge has all been freely given by hubbers in one form or another.
         
         The above is not about saying TKA doesn't work. I just find a lot of it bogged down with empty space that confuses the pertinent aspects. I like organized environments when I'm on a learning curve.
         
         Just give me the facts - not the fuss

   I'm having no luck at all. Considering the amount of time I put into my hubs the past month or so, I'm dissapointed. It's a curse of mine, making money in anything proves difficult. I know all about how keywords function, statistically speaking I should be getting a lot of bites, and in many ways I am, but the money isn't there. People are simply not clicking the ads. Only 40% of my traffic sources come from hubpages, so I'm getting the exposure, unfortunately when left to fate my results as always leave much to be desired.

      You are still in the very early stages and have not that many hubs yet.  Keep writing quality content, do a bit of promotion and the money will come.  I only earned pence for the first few months, but have now had Adsense payment every month for a few months and earn a fair bit on Amazon

         I started less than a month ago. I earned about 0.35$. And I wonder if anybody (other than my friends) is reading. I watched the tutorial videos and I do pretty much everything. So my question is: How do you get more people to read your hubs? And when (or after how many hubs does it take?) do you see a difference in the traffic? Help!

            You have been here 12 days, so I would not get to hepped up about it, I have read your hubs they are good plenty of useful information.
            
            Getting more viewers, keyword reasearch and backlinking are the best options, check out ryankett's hubs or maybe Website Examiner to mention a couple these guys have really helped me.
            
            Challenge yourself publish a lot of hubs, join the 30 hubs in 30 days challenge, I took up the challenge and it really does make you a better writer, my stats have gone from under 1000 to nearly 3000 in just under a month.
            
            Get into the forums a tip I am still learning, nobody here will be nasty or anything like that its a friendly community, if you have problems ask and someone will help you out!
            
            Good luck to you and nice to meet you.

      Don, it takes a lot of time and patience. Back when I first started, I was making barely anything. I don't yet make a livable income without working too, but it has grown substantially.
      
      I just visited your "silver" hub--good hub-I would add a coupld ebay ads for silver bars or coins.
      
      I make pretty good money off both google and ebay--others do well with amazon.
      
      Experiment--track and don't have false ideas you will get "rich overnight"
      
      Keep writing those good hubs and it will come.

      I don't think luck has anything to do with it.
      
      The one thing that is always true: your site can always get more views or be better in some way.
      
      With the amount of hubs you have I(personally) would find it difficult to make good money, if any at all. I can here with no experience, and am just now making okay money.
      
      I just made $7 off of adsense 2 days ago and $0.60 yesterday. If I had way less hubs, I could never expect that. At least not at this point with my hubs. My hubs are ranging from games to recycling.

      40% traffic from HubPages is huge!  It is general consensus that Hubbers don't normally click on ads.  In addition to writing more Hubs, I would focus on getting more organic traffic from the search engines.  Do some research on promotion and back linking, there are too many useful Hubs that have already been written on the topic to list them here.

   I just started getting into this hubbing thing, although I've registered half a year ago, but back then I just threw my hub out there and hoped it would work, now I provide more content, add video and images, include my rss feed and put good tags on it.
   
   I hope this helps :-)
   
   The only thing I still have barely any idea about, is how to increase my author points, so I can finally get do-follow links and help my real website's ranking a little more

    My earnings have been increasing steadily from month to month since joining hub pages. Hopefully I will make my first payout next month (Feb 2011). It has been a slow climb but I am earning and I am hoping it will increase faster for the next payout. Just be patience and continue to write more hubs to increase your earning rate.

       You need to add HubPages as a channel on your Adsense account.
       
       From HubPages Help:
       
       Once you’ve logged into your Google AdSense account click on ‘Google AdSense Setup’.
       
          1. Underneath that click on ‘Channels’.
          2. A little further down click on ‘URL channels’.
          3. Click on ‘Add new URL channels’,
          4. Type in hubpages.com. Make sure it’s ONLY hubpages.com you don’t need in the www (if you put in the www it won’t work).
          5. Click on ‘Add channels’.

          Thank you, I think I have done this but will double check.  I did look at the traffic source data and even though hubpages shows up as a url channel they do not appear in the list that is reporting.  Maybe it is not important!

    I have been here for two months now and recently took part in the 30 hubs in 30 days challenge, my earnings $2.31 about £1.98 in English money. This is with no keyword reasearch and very little backlinking. I am near the end of the challenge and will be going through each hub and reasearching keywords on them all. According to my analytics account 69% of my traffic comes from search engines, mostly Google but some Bing, Yahoo and AOL.

       I really dont know what the problem would be there, I presume you are referring to a Google Adsense account, if so try clearing your Internet history and re starting your browser, this may kick it into action. Other than that you could use a different web browser, Google Chrome maybe!
       
       Hope this is some help and good luck with it.

       If you are reffering to Google Adsense account all you need to do is type that into your browsre. Set up an account (its free) you wll be given a publisher ID is will start ca-pub make sure to paste this code to the Affiliate section on your Hubpages account. Now you can start to make money from Adsense, you need to write some Hubs first though.

I've published one hub so far and want to have a goal to publish about one a day so I can do the 30 day challenge... in the past I haven't had great success with Adsense but I think the publicity that Hubpages can give things is definitely beneficial. So I'll see what happens!
