Is Hubpages Legit? Absolutely! How You Can Make Money and Win Money at Hubpages
I still get a few people that email and ask me is hubpages legit? Yes, Hubpages is a legit way to make money online. If you want a 1 minute guide on how to make money at Hubpages, checkout HubMoney.com. Here’s my complete guide on how to make money and win money at Hubpages for beginners.
First, you have to sign up at Hubpages. (Takes 1-2 minutes)
Second, you have to sign up at Google Adsense. (Takes 3-5 minutes) This is what people are talking about when they say Google Cash or Google Money.
Third, add your Google Adsense key into your Hubpages profile. This is super easy to do.
Fourth, write quality articles on stuff that makes money. How do you know if you’re writing about stuff that makes money? Think about if what you’re writing will lead to a sell of a product or service. For example, if you wrote about womens coats, then someone reading that article is most likely thinking about buying a coat. When you write about that, ads for womens coats appear next to your article. When someone clicks on one of those ads, you make money.
How much money do you make? It all depends on a number of things. Usually clicks are about $0.25 to $0.75. Sometimes they’re more or sometimes they’re less.
A few quarters probably doesn’t sound to exciting to you but imagine if 500 people read your article. That could mean 25 clicks – and that’s just for one article. The more articles you write, the more money you will make.
Bored of all my blabbing? Just dive right in and sign up at Hubpages now. (Just don’t forget to comeback and read this article with all my tips on how to squeeze more money out of your articles and get even more money direct deposited in your account – wink, wink)
The beauty of it all is Hubpages gets good natural rank in Google so more people are likely to see your article! This isn’t some blog you are starting on your own. Hubpages is already well established and gets ranked in Google pretty good for a lot of different stuff.
Look at one blogger’s Hubpages income after writing a couple hundred articles:
Hubpages Earnings
You read that right, he made $228 in one week from Hubpages. That’s more than some people make in a week working 40 hours at a regular job.
Now, I don’t want to make this sound like a get rich quick scheme because it’s not. You have to put in all the dirty work complete with cleaning and scrubbing at the beginning. But once you do this, the articles will make you money forever. This is passive income at its finest. The more articles you write, the more money you will make – it’s really that simple.
So how do you get to $200/ week on Hubpages? You have to write a lot of articles. Probably around 400-500 articles is what you should aim for. I already have 80 written myself. My goal in January is to write 60 more articles.
This type of big power potential is exactly why I recommend people sign up at Hubpages and get to writing articles right away.
Keep in mind that once you make this much money, it’s cake. You’re earning this money with no additional work. It’s one of those things where you put in the time up front and then you’re absolutely done – and I’m not jacking you around on this. It’s pretty steady money, week-in-and week out. What I mean is if you’re making $20/week one week, you’re probably going to stay at $12-$28/week from here on out.
PS 1 Quick Note – If you’re not making a lot of money right away, this is completely normal. It takes a little time before you’re making $1/day, then $2/day, then $3/day. The articles slowly start to build up (you should link to your articles within your articles BTW) and as they get higher and higher in Google and as you write on topics that make you more money, your income will just keep right on rising.
Another cool thing is Hubpages is always having contests where you can win money by writing about different stuff in different categories. Keep in mind you don’t need to be an expert on this stuff. You just have to write a good article. For example, one of the categories in this month’s January 2011 contest is how you saved money at the store. So if you wrote a great article on feeding a family of 4 on a $50 week budget, then you can win extra cash at Hubpages.
Can’t wait to get in the January contest? Here’s the link to sign up now.
If you have a website or blog, you can make even more money by sending visitors to your site which has ads on it. It’s a big win-win-win for people that write on Hubpages so yeah, Hubpages is legit. How could Hubpages be a ripoff when it’s completely free anyways?
I think you should make it your 2011 goal to write 40 articles every month – that’s about 1.25 articles per day. That’s 480 articles in this next year! With that many articles, you’re going to have a great passive income coming in not only now, but more as the money piles up. Not only this but right about stuff that you like – your favorite watch, the TV you’ve been dying to get, the luggage that you need for your upcoming trip – whatever stuff that sells for money! In fact, here’s a list of stuff I approve as money making article topics:
- tvs
- laptops
- shoes
- home furniture
- medicine
- luggage
- jeans
- contact lenses
- home furnishings
- mp3 players
And much, much more! One hot tip is to be as specific as you can when writing about this stuff. For example, if you write about a pair of jeans you love, put the name of the jeans in the title “DKNY Retro Stone Washed Blue Jeans” and then in the article describe how they fit, how they look, how they feel, how much they cost, etc.
