What online writing website have you earned the most money from this year so far?
I write for a variety of websites, some that use Google Adsense and some that pay me directly. I'm just wondering, based on people's answers, if there's one that most people do best with?
I have made more money with Bubblews than I have Wizzley, Seekyt, Zujava, Squidoo, Hub Pages put together.
Wow, that's great. I have stayed away from it because I have heard they have trouble paying people. Maybe because it's new?
Wow, Linda! That's great! As you know, I began writing for them last week but I don't get quite as many LIKES there as you do. But, I can write a lot more posts there since they only require 400 characters. Maybe I should continue... .
I have been there since January or Feb 2013. When we request payment, keep in mind our number of posts goes to Zero on bank page, although all of our posts remain active. Right now, I have close to 200 actual posts.
HupPage by far for me!
What websites do you write for and which has earned you the most?
Squidoo by a very long way. Then after that I have one website that I write on about once a month and that does around $40 a month on Adsense. Hubpages is third. I also do some writing at Fiverr but in truth that is just a pain so I packed it in.
The least work with the most return is my own site which has only 12 articles but regularly does $40-50 a month. I plan to make a few more of those for sure.
Squidoo really? Wow, that's great. It seems like it's similar to HubPages so I never tried it. I don't want to spread myself too thin. That's great about your own site too.
Examiner.com
It appears like a an online newspaper and each writer chooses a specific topic to write their articles. Some "examiners" write about more than one topic and you are encouraged to write about your region. I am a "Chicago Dating Advice Examiner". My articles are all on dating and relationships. The title also gave me a little more credibility when I published my book.
Examiner.com has an application process and requires you submit writing samples. Earnings vary month to month depending on how many articles (you) submit.
Wow, that sounds interesting. I have never heard of it before. Thanks.
After 1.5 years of struggling on the internet, I have exactly one payment so far, and that's from Bubblews. Very prompt, and I'm very happy with that result.
Everywhere else has been a NO NO for one reason or another

Have to wonder if writing here is worth the effort...Okay, I have tried just about everything to get natural traffic but to no success. I get the whole "write better hubs, longer hubs, seo friendly hubs" etc. but this just feels wrong to spend an enormous amount of time in the hope of...

Was curious after seeing most of the long term - experienced Hubbers. So thought of doing some research. Topic explains it. Let's try to be truthful here. What really keeps you going on here on HP? Why should Hubpages be the First choice for any Writer? Please try to support your idea with...

How do you effectively divide your time between work and the online writing projects you engage in?Time management is increasingly becoming an issue for me. I work 10 hour days at my regular job and I am up at five to work online. What are some of your strategies?

Many people writing different things. But I and I'm sure that many other people would like to know the potential of hubpages. Thanks for answers.

I was thinking that it would be a great idea to pair up hubbers to help each other prosper and grow as online writers. They do this with new teachers so why not do it here!An ideal pair of hubbers would write and different topics so there is not head to head competition. You should not do this with...
