How to make money on line with Hubpages
In my lost couple of blog posts I have talked about making money with Amazon, Adsense and Ebay.
They are all great ideas but is there someway you could bring all three together and work smarter for your money.
Yes, you can bring all three together and perhaps even double up on traffic for your blog or web site.
More traffic = more clicks=more earnings.
Writing articles on line
If you are already active on line and have your own blogs plus participate in forums you are to a certain extent already writing on line.
You can take this a little bit further by joining a writers community such as Hubpages which allows you to earn money for the articles which you write. It is a very simple system as you share revenue with Hubpages. Every time someone visits your article page Google's Adsense program will display an advert and when somebody clicks on the ad revenue is generated for you and Hubpages.
Hubpages will ask you to link your Google Adsense account to your Hubpages account.
How to get started with Hubpages
Signing up with Hubpages is relatively easy and as with so many other online services make sure you have a Paypal account.
Your earnings will be sent to Paypal when you reach a certain level, and with Paypal you can transfer your funds to your bank account or buy stuff on line.
The registration process with Hubpages takes about ten minutes or so as you can set up and register with Ebay as well.
You will also need to make sure you know your address, phone number and email address as you will be receiving regular updates and comments on your articles and other writer's articles.
Once you have registered you will see there are different categories available and it is up to you to choose what you write about.
I would advise you not to include any pornographic content, discuss drugs or alcohol in your articles as this is not well received and could be disallowed. Easy user friendly articles are the best.
What to write about
Ask yourself what you are interested in and what you feel passionate about. If you have previous writing experience this is great but otherwise have a little look through Hubpages and learn from the more experienced writers.
Hubpages give their writers a score pr article and per writer. The more experienced and better read writers rate over 80 as a Hubpages score so it would be a good idea to have a look at their articles.
You can write reviews about products, books and films on Hubpages however you can also choose other subject matters.
Cooking recipes are very popular and so are articles about crafts which you can easily make in the home.
Try to write what is known as evergreen articles. Evergreen articles are simply articles which are popular all year around but don't be afraid to write "specials" for instance around Halloween or this article (click here) I wrote about the Blessing of the animals in Spain.
User guides are also very popular and least popular articles are poetry and fiction.
How to increase your earnings from Hubpages
We have already covered how you can make money using Adsense but one of the best things about writing articles on Hubpages is that in your article you add modules from Ebay and Amazon.
In other words if you have written article about a new camera or the new Kindle HD you can go ahead and promote that item for sale as well.
You simply link in your Amazon Affiliates user ID, and any purchases which are made from your link will be credited to you subsequently you will get paid commission.
In does not have to be something as complicated as Kindles or cameras. Check out this article, or hub as it is called, which I wrote about the herb Lavender.
If you look you will see you can by Lavender products from Amazon when you have finished reading the article.
Ebay - if you are already an Ebayer this is a great facility. Why? You can simply load up your own item which you have for sell using the Ebay item number.
Writing a book review on a book which you have for sale and then linking in your own item for sale. I think this is a fantastic idea.
Keywords and content
Just a quick mention about keywords and doing your research. It is really important to have knowledge about the subject you write about so use keywords which are popular as this will drive more traffic to your article (hub).
Content is king so make you sure your article contains a lot of content, background information and links if someone link to learn more about your subject. Also from Hubpages you can link to your own blog or web site directly from your article.
Another tip is to interact with readers and other writers on Hubpages as you will get followers and the more people that read your articles the better.
Other tips for writing on line
You should also register on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and Pinterest as all of these social networks let you promote your articles.
A following can be built up quickly however try to also participate in as many relevant forums as you can.
I have tried other writers forums and articles sites but Hubpages seem to have a good traffic score and Hubpages is the article site where I have seen the best earnings to date. So go on think of an user name ( your pen name ) and join me on Hubpages to earn some extra cash. To join Hubpages click here. It is free !
