There are many ways to make money on Hubpages. Making money on Hubpages doesn't have to be difficult, and read on to learn of the many great benefits that Hubpages offers to its writers!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet Connection
• Adsense Account
• Amazon Affiliate Account
• eBay Affiliate Account
• Kontera Account (optional)
• PayPal Account

1. The first obvious step in making money on Hubpages is to sign up for a Hubpages account. You can find a link on the bottom that leads through a tour before allowing you to sign up.

2. Sign up for a Google Adsense account. While there are multiple ways of monetizing a Hubpages Hub, the best way to make a lot of money through Hubpages is with Google Adsense ads.

3. Sign up for an Amazon Associates account. This is easily done through Hubpages, which just about guarantees that you'll be accepted.

4. Sign up as an ebay affiliate. This is also much easier through Hubpages, and helps to guarantee your acceptance.

5. Optional: Sign up for Kontera ads. This is another option, although some people say that even though these work in conjunction with Adsense, the pay outs are so small that it's not worth the clicks they could take away from Adsense ads.

6. Build excellent keyword based hubs. Hubpages is well liked by Google, so you tend to get very good rankings for good web pages with a lot of relevant content. The more original, the better.

7. Put appropriate Amazon and ebay products on your Hubpages by using the Amazon & ebay modules.

8. Think of other ways to monetize, such as affiliate text links, or back links to other blogs or products you have.

9. Write a LOT of hubs, and really build up your reputation. Some "hubbers" make a really good amount of money on Hubpages, and most of them have a great number of hubs. More hubs = more money.

10. Have fun! This is a great community that provides not only a place to display your writing, but to also make good money with Hubpages.

on 5/28/2009 The key to making money on any site that counts primarily on Adsense, and to a smaller degree, Kontera, must focus primarily on building up backlinks as they create hubs.Search traffic is the best way to generate Adsense revenue, and search traffic is largely determined by backlinks.

on 1/10/2009 Hi wordstock, thanks for the comment! It is definitely a longer term project. I started off on fire, then my highest traffic hub went from five Google advertisers to one, so the Adsense numbers took a hit :( But I have done well since, and I have noticed it is something of a numbers game and better as a long term side project. Good luck at Hubpages, and I hope you do great there!
