0 Make Money on Hubpages

What is Hubpages?

Hubpages is a website that basically allows you to publish an article on their site. I use the term “article” loosely because it can be as short as an article or more like a single page website. It is completely up to the user. A hub (their lingo for article) can be about any topic you could possibly want to write about. You could create a hub explaining 10 things you wished people knew about you, how to play guitar with your toes, or facts about albino grizzly bears. You do not need to be a great writer and honestly, I have seen some people who are terrible writers do quite well. All you need is the ability to say a little bit about something.

How do you make money with Hubpages?

There are actually a variety of ways, but the simplest and most effective way I have found so far has been by using Google Adsense. After you finish your first hub you can install your Adsense ID and you will begin sharing the revenue with Hubpages for your hubs.

If you pick good keywords (which I will get to in a minute) you will likely begin getting traffic from the search engines within 24 hours of publishing it. If these visitors click on the ads you will get a cut of that revenue (It is 60%).

Steps to get started

If you are interested in giving this a shot, these are the steps to get started.

>> Sign up at Hubpages
>> Create your first hub. Once you get to the design page, it is pretty self-explanatory.
>> Sign up for an Adsense account (if you don’t have one). This might take a couple days to get approval.
>> Add your Adsense ID to Hubpages. When you are logged into Hubpages, you click the “My Account” button, and then the “Affiliate Settings” link. This is where you will install your Adsense ID.
>> That’s it. Once it is installed, you will begin making money when someone clicks on the ads. Warning: do not click the ads yourself or tell others to click them. Google will catch you and will ban you from the program.

Keys to succeeding

Keyword research

This is the most important part. The title of your hub needs to be based on your keyword research. A good place to look is Google’s Keyword Research tool – drop in some keywords that your article might be about and see what comes back at you. I believe this is more of an art than a science, so just find a keyword phrase that is being searched for and give it a shot.

But I do suggest looking for longer phrases, i.e. Don’t title your page “ipods” but something like “how to put music on your ipod” would likely work a lot better. But either way, you just have to test to see what works. Sometimes your research will work just like planned and other times it won’t. But the good news is that even if you don’t do any research, you still have a chance of picking up some visitors on Hubpages. But, the more you plan out your keywords the better you will do.

Get Links

Like I mentioned above, I didn’t really get many links to my hubs, but if you can link to it from your blogs and get other links it will definitely be helpful. Submitting it to social bookmarking sites might be helpful as well. Linking your hubs to each other is a good idea too.

Content

Generally speaking the more content you put on your hub the better. I would say 400 words should be a minimum. Shooting for 600-1000 would probably be best. And add as many of the widgets as you can. You can add a news widget, a poll to ask your readers a question, etc. You don’t necessarily NEED to add a bunch of widgets, but it will probably help.

Learn and adapt

Not all hubs will work. In fact, for me of the 23 I have created thus far 5 of them are generating about 90% of the traffic.

0 Make money on facebook

If you are looking to make money from Facebook, then you are not alone. There are millions of people who spend hours a day on Facebook. Many of them would love to know some ways to generate income on Facebook and turn all of that time into cash. It is important to remember that the majority of people on Facebook are turned off by direct sales pitches. If you have something you want to do to make money while using Facebook, then it needs to be subtle but yet obvious enough that people will be willing to buy from you if they so choose. There are a lot of ways you can monetize your Facebook site that will not cause you to lose real friends or Facebook friends.

Many of the online companies that offer you the ability to make money on their website also have apps that will help you to make money from Facebook as well. A good example is a website like Café Press. This site allows you to make a wide variety of customized products include t-shirts, coffee mugs and license plate holders. You can add the Café Press app to your Facebook page and turn all of your friends into potential customers. Other websites that offer similar services are Zazzle and Music Blaster.

Facebook works much the same way as Twitter. The more friends you have, the more money you can make. The difference between Facebook and sites like Twitter is that Facebook limits personal accounts to 5,000 friends. You can start a club or organizational page that can have as many likes as you want, but you will have to take the time to find the people to like your page. But even 5,000 friends can help you make money from Facebook if you start posting your eBay auctions on your Facebook page. EBay allows you to share auctions on your Facebook page, and that can help push at least 5,000 new potential clients to every one of your online auctions.

Can You Make Money from Facebook by Monetization?

Another quick way to turn 5,000 friends to money on Facebook is a monetized blog. You may not be able to monetize your Facebook page, but you can monetize a blog and drive traffic to it from your Facebook page. This is a good way to make money from Facebook because it gives your friends something to read as opposed to trying to sell them a product. All you need to do is encourage your friends to click on your blog advertising to make money.
