I do not need to know specific amounts paid to you, I know that is against the rules. Just wondering how long it took everyone
Used to be 2 years. Don't know how long it takes Google to make up its mind these days. Am likewise curious.
My first payout was at 5 months and I had a dozenish hubs or so at that point. My later hubs definitely performed better by about 10 months here i made payout every single month. It's doable and you'll get there . Once you reach that threshold it's easier to keep hitting it and growing.
Took me 6 months don't know how many articles, and then I made payout every single month, but some time around a year and a half ago it was every two months for a few months, before getting back to every month.
Thanks everyone! I think I'm on track to get my first payout in June which will be 8 months. I check every single morning. Even when it's just 25 cents I get so excited lol. Not even because of the money but because of the views.
I think I saw my first payment after about 9 months with 20 something articles but that was obviously accumulated over several months (5 or 6 I believe) at this point after writing regularly for 2 years I am still not managing payments every month, usually every other month, once in a while two months in a row.
I just started posting again and will try to post at least once a day. Hopefully the money will start coming steady once i keep posting more regularly.
When I started you got paid directly from Amazon or Google. Took me a year to get my first check from Google, and the minimum payout was $100 dollars.
It was easier then to make money than it is now, and I was absolutely crap at making anything of quality. My articles were no better than what I now think of as blogs.
I just started writing articles in November 2017. I am going to get my first HubPages ad program payout of about $70 next week.
If the first payout is at the level of $50 I hope to be able to reach that amount in about a week or two from today. I have been writing here since January, so I've just about completed my fourth month.
Wish me luck in getting my first paycheck soon.
Good luck to all of you, hopefully i can get there one day also.

How much time did you spend to earn your first $50 pay out?I am referring to the Hubpages ad program.

There are a large number of writers contributing in hubpages. Depending upon the quality and popularity of their work they must be receiving the payments from hubpages.I want to know how much time it took for your first payment? If you share this information it will be a good guideline...

I only have $5 to go to reach payout for the first time. It took 2 years but I really don't count the first year because I only had 5 hubs that sat for a year so I figured it took about 1 year to reach payout. Is it true after your first payout your next payout comes quicker?

I'm not sure if this is a good change or not, but in my 4 years here the earnings have never gone up to more than 0.01 or 0.02 the highest probably 0.08 . After the move, the earnings i get is getting 0.16 or 0.18 $ at most, is it real or could it be a bug? Should i feel great about it?

I have still not seen even .01 from HubPages. I have 18 hubs and have been on the site for over 6 weeks now. Do the articles take awhile to start earning money? I am just curious what other hubbers results have been (typically).Thanks!
