Make Money Writing For HubPages Online

By Janet Calhoun

With the ecoomy in flux, many people are looking for an easy way to make extra cash using their home computers, figuring out how to make money online in one way or another. Here's one simple service you can use, where you can write as much as you like on topics you love, and then cash in by earning revenue from visitors who come to your site. The service is called HubPages.

The HubPages community consists of people who want to share their information with others on "hubs", for just about any topic you can think of. When you create a Hub, you add your writing, best links, and video you find on the Web, along with any other information you think would be helpful to readers. "Hubbers" don't need to be professional writers - justa love of your subject helps! It's a great community of people who want to share something fun or informative.

So how do you make money with HubPages? You have a few options. First, when you write a Hub, ads will display on your pages, and when visitors click on them, you earn income. You can also post ads from other programs on Amazon.com or eBay. Part of your work is to attract visitors with good content to increase ad clicks.

A second way to earn is by having new HubPages members sign up from your pages. When those new "Hubbers" build Hubs, you get a portion of the income from those Hubs too, from their advertising revenue.

A third option for making money with HubPages is to build Hubs and sell them to other new or existing members. Since it takes time and effort to create an excellent Hub, some would-be Hubbers don't have the time, and would prefer to hire someone to do the setup and writing. You earn money,and they get Hubs running right away. There are several places online where you can buy and sell Hubs, for anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred!

Last but not least, you can earn with a Hub through selling your own goods or services. If you have writing or design services, for example, or you've written an ebook, or you create and build hard goods for sale, you can create a Hub talking about it and sell from there. Add a link to your sale site, for example, or promote your talents by showing how much you know on the subject. Your Hub has to be be informative, you can't make it a big ad for your stuff. But when you post authoritative information, you look good and so do your products and services. You can also link to your sales page and sell your own stuff just as you would goods from Amazon or eBay.

And to top it off, HubPages is free! There are no fees to join or set up your Hubs. Start with just one Hub or build two hundred - the sky's the limit! Start to quickly earn income through multiple sources. Of course, this takes time and patience plus hard work, but if you get started today, you can see the results of your effort quickly, just by building sites about your favorite topics, and making money online.
