How to Make Money with Hub Pages

Want to make money with Hub Pages? If you are able to write well, know how to do a little articles promotion and have some web savvy, you can potentially earn money online with just a little investment of your time and talent. Read these basic steps to get started. Even if you're new to online writing, you can be successful at Hub Pages. Here's how to get HubPages earnings.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. 

   Browse the Hub Pages site online (see link under resources, below) to get a feel for the site and the style and content of the web pages. Note the monetization elements, such as Google Ads and Amazon affiliate links, on the pages.

2. Sign for an account at Hub Pages. Choose a user name and settings. You'll have the option to sign up for Google AdSense at this time, but you can come back and do that step after you have some content up.

3. 

   Write your first Hub page. Think of a topic that interests you and do a quick search to see if it's already covered. Even if it is, there may be an angle others have missed that you can provide. For example, there are thousands of articles about dogs. But is there one about your experience showing your Australian Cattle Dog at the national championship show?

4. 
   Add pics!

   Polish your article and add photos. Hub Pages with pictures are more interesting than those without, and tend to rank higher.

5. Promote your articles with links on your social sites and by social bookmarking. Send links to family and friends who may be interested in reading your articles.

6. Optimize your monetization outlets on the page. Be sure to sign up with Google AdSense, Amazon and the others available. You can even become a Hub Pages affiliate and earn money for referring writers.

7. 
   Quality first.

   Continue to write your Hubs and focus on quality content. Use phrases you'd Google, in your title and body, to increase rankings with the search engines. But don't overdo it! Write in a natural tone and above all, deliver good content to your readers. The money will usually follow.

on 9/10/2009 Agree with you to some extent- hub pages are great if you want to earn $20 per month or so. If you are to post a couple blogs/hubs a day to increase your readership and traffic, Hubpages just close your account and they block you from publishing further work even if your material is original and good. They don’t even let you know why they close your account and they don’t reply your emails. Whenever I opened an account with hubpages it was closed when I increase my postings. In addition they give you rankings which are not based on how good your hubs are, but on participating on forums, and other factors. Good luck with hub pages.
