Can you make a money with Hub Pages?

Many people dream of making a living by writing and many even make a start on writing a book, but, if you are anything like me, what always puts you off the length of time it takes to write a book, before you even a single penny in your bank account and, even then, there is no guarantee that you will make any real money for your efforts. One of the ways that you can make writing faster, though, is by writing for revenue sharing sites like Hub Pages, a site that I wished I had found years ago.

What are Hub Pages?

Hub Pages are a revenue share writing site. That means that you can write and publish articles and you will get paid a share of the advertising revenue that Hub Pages make from impressions of your work. You can also place your own Amazon and ebay advertisements in your articles and be paid a commission from those.

You can write on any topic that you like, so long as it is not offensive or pornographic, and you can promote your articles, and your sub domain,  via Twitter, social bookmarking sites or though other SEO methods.

There are some rules that you have to follow on Hub Pages, but they are, in the main, sensible and reasonable. You can’t, for example, write an article, or Hub as it is known, that is overly promotional and filled with affiliate links. A hub should be informative and, or, entertaining, not just a great big sales pitch for your product or website.

Also, to get a ‘featured’ hub, which means that the work will be promoted to search engines and promoted on the site itself, Hubs must be of a certain standard. SO, while the site does not insist on a certain article length or standard of grammar, you will be penalised for very poor work.

Can you earn a living with Hub Pages?

There are people who write for Hub Pages, or Hubbers, as they are known, who make well over $1,500 a month from their articles, but that takes some effort to get to. What is great about Hub Pages though, is that is a real opportunity to earn some passive or residual income. If you write a good article that attracts regular hits, then you make money from that article, forever, by nothing more, once the article has been published.

There is no real formula to tell how much money you will make working on Hub Pages, because there are so many variables. If you do your keyword research though, you can make $50 per month from one Hub. I know, because I have done it! To be fair though, I also have hubs that have performed far worse than that.

Is there a Hub Pages Referal Scheme?

Yes, you can also earn money from Hub Pages, by referring new people to the site. The system uses a referral tracker that you can place in links or in banners for your own site and you will earn 10% of whatever a Hub Pages writer, that you referred, make themselves, for life.

You can also earn between 9% and 12% of revenue that a person generates by simply reading hubs. In other words, not a Hub Pages writer, but just a passing referral of someone who visits just to read an article.

Hub Pages are a long term recurring revenue opportunity

Writing Hubs is not quick and loading your text, images and formatting a hub can be quite time consuming. The money that you will make from a single hub, is not always that good either, so, Hub Pages is certainly not a quick way of earning money.

It is good though, to include in your plan for long term, recurring income. If you write regularly and write informative, quality articles, you will slowly build up a readership and a long term source of recurring revenue. You can also come and go with Hub Pages; writing when you have time and not, when you don’t.

If you are looking to develop a real and sustainable, income online, then sites like Hub Pages, are well worth the investment of your time, for the long term, but it won't pay your bills tomorrow.

How to Make Money on Bubblews

Bubblews is a social networking site that pays you to participate. Now many people immediately think that this is a scam but, in reality, it is a perfectly sound and honest business model and one from which you can earn some reasonable money.

How do you make money on Bubblews?

Bubblews is a free to join, social networking site that pays you to post small written articles, on just about any topic that you like, and you get paid for every view, every Like and every comment that other users make on your posts. Each post must be a minimum of 400 characters and you can include an image of your own, or one of the sites own, built in library, from Pixabay.

Is Bubblews a scam?

No, I do not believe that Bubblews is a scam. When it first appeared on the scene, people were dubious about a site that pays you to interact. When a site like Facebook doesn't pay you anything, how can Bubblews? Well, if anything, Bubblews is more honest than Facebook! All that Bubblews are doing is sharing their advertising revenues with their users, so I think it is a perfectly sound and sensible business model, and probably the way things will go in the future. If you are creating content that is attracting advertisers, then why shouldn't you get a slice of it?

How much money can you make on Bubblews

Bubblews pays you $0.01c for each view, like and comment that each of your posts receives and the number of views that you receive can vary considerably. You can make a maximum of ten posts a day and to really start making any sensible money, you also need to be interacting with other uses to generate new follows and encourage them to visit your posts.

The general consensus of opinion on the site is, that with a reasonable amount of daily effort, you should be earning around $20 per day, or $600 per month, but there are no limits on how much you can earn and some people do report earnings in excess of $1,000 per month.

You can redeem your money as soon as you reach $50 and once you have asked for a redemption, it takes around twenty days to get through to PayPal

What can you write about on Bubblews?

You can write about anything at all so long as it is not offensive or pornographic. Bubblews is not an article site, like Hub Pages or Squidoo, and there are no writing and grammar rules in place. To be honest, that does mean that some of the writing on the site is pretty atrocious, but that is not the point, because it is more like a, paid to blog, site than a professional writing forum.

How to use Bubblews

You could stay on Bubblews all day long, liking, posting, commenting and following and that would increase your earnings, but I tend to dip in and out every hour or so, in-between doing other jobs in the day.

You can also place links to your blogs or other sites as well, but my experience is that users tend to stay on Bubblews, not follow the links. Also, you should be wary of adding too many links so you don’t get banned from Bubblews for spamming.

Follow the Bubblews Rules

The rules on the site are not onerous and nor are they unfair, but you do need to follow them. I have seen plenty of gripes from people who have been barred from the site for breaking the rules. The main rules are:

                1. Every post must be a minimum of 400 characters

                2. No pornography, adult or offensive material

                3. No artificial manipulation of stats with traffic exchanges etc.

                4. No plagiarism

                5. Maximum 10 posts in a twenty four hour period

                6. English language only

                7. Don’t overdo external licks in posts

Tips for success on Bubblews

Most of the revenue comes from making regular posts, throughout the day and, the useful life of a post, or Bubble, is fairly short so the opportunity for residual income is fairly limited. You need to build up followers. That is not that difficult to do as if you follow someone, they will nearly always follow back. Take the time to like other peoples posts and comment on them too, there is a sort of, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours, ethos of the site.

I would recommend adding Bubblews to your portfolio of online earning sites and use it regularly as a part of your online money making activities. I would not, however, make it your only source of income.  Websites come and websites go and, although I have no information whatsoever to suggest that this is the case, if Bubblews user numbers were to continue to grow and their advertising revenue drop off for some reason, then there would obviously be a problem.

The only other disappointing issue with the site is that there is currently no referral or affiliate scheme in place, so you cannot get paid for recruiting others to Bubblews. There used to be, so that might change again in the future.

Good luck with Bubblews. You can register for Bubblews here: www.bubblews.com

Making money online – It’s a numbers game

How can you make a living online when you see numbers like $0.02 on referral sites and other similar deals? Let’s take Hits4Pay as an example.

Hits4Pay is a website that you can join that will pay you’re a share of their advertising revenue when you read e-mails from their advertisers.  Now, that sounds like a pretty good deal. All you’ve got do is click on the emails, stay on the advertiser's site for a minute or so and Hits4Pay credits your account with $0.02

They send me, on average, 6-8 emails per day and it takes me no more than ten minutes or so to read the Hits4Pay advertisements. So that’s, let’s be conservative, 6 X $0.02 = $0.12 per day.

I can’t live off that! I hear you cry. But hold on, that’s £3.65 per month for doing virtually nothing, for ten minutes a day. So, whichever way you play around with the figures, this alone is not going to pay your bills.

The real power of this type of scheme is the referrals though. AT Hits4Pay, they will also pay you $0.01 for every email read by every person who you refer to them, and, they will pay you the same for every 2^nd level person that is recruited under that.

So, let’s say that you place a banner ad at the top of your blog or website and, over time, one thousand people register with Hits4Pay and they are registered under your affiliate link. And then let’s say that each of those 1,000 people gets just ten of their friends to register too.

That means that you would earn ((1,000 X $0.01) + (10,000 X $0.01)) * 6 or a total of $110, every time that Hits4Pay send out six emails. That could be $3,300 per month for doing absolutely nothing!

Now, this blog is not about making false claims or setting unrealistic expectations, so let’s be honest here.  There is no guarantee that Hits4Pay is going to send emails every day, there is no guarantee that you will be able to refer 1,000 people easily and there is no guarantee that even if you do, those people will actually follow through and read the e-mails.

Having said that, this would be only one of the many different strings, to your online money making bows, it costs nothing to join, and in time, you will be earning money from it.

Basically, it’s a no lose situation and just one of the ways to begin to earn a living online. As your online presence grows with blogs, websites and other platforms, you will be able to advertise this and many other opportunities to more and more people. On the internet, you are always thinking about what may appear to be low individual margins or earnings but with a potentially very high volume.

Sign up free for Hits4Pay here and claim your $5 intro bonus!

As I said, it’s a numbers game and you have to start somewhere!

Making a living online – Getting Started

Let's start at the beginning, what do you need to make money online?

We’ll take for the granted the obvious that you have a computer and an internet connection and look at some of the basic, free things that you will find useful to have set up from day one. Many people will already have some or all of these things, but, bear with me, not everybody will.

1. Creating an on online identity

The first thing to ask yourself is do you want to do this under your real name or an assumed pseudonym?

I’m not suggesting anything dodgy or illegal here, but here are some good reasons to consider a new identity for you in your money making capacity:

1. You might still be working and you don’t want your employer to know what you are doing.

2. You might want to simply keep your personal profiles on sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and so on completely separate from your online business ones.

3. Unfortunately, You most certainly will attract some spam by virtue of your online money making activities and you don’t want that cluttering up your personal emails.

4. It looks more professional if your online business life and personal life are kept separate.

5. Remember, what goes on the internet, stays on the internet. Just type your own name into Google and you will probably be surprised at what you find!

It’s easy to create an online identity and then can use that in all the websites that you visit and sign up to, for money making purposes and you can use it for Google Authorship purposes. (More on Google Authorship later).

2. Sign up for Google email

A Google account will be needed anyway for lots of things. You will be probably be signing up for Goggle Adsense, Google+, Blogger, Feeburner and Google Webmaster services, all of which are now owned by Google. If you have a Google account, you have only one login to access all these services which will make life a lot easier.

You don’t have to use Google Mail, but I have found it both efficient and easy to use and have found no reason not to use it. Just follow this link https://accounts.google.com/signup?service=mail to set up your Google Account.

3. Open a PayPal Account

For those who don't know, PayPal is a secure online banking service that allows you to both make payments and receive payments online. An account is free to open and it allows you to buy goods and services online, without having to disclose your bank account details to a website, and it is the preferred method for most online money making sites when they pay you. PayPal will use your email address, as the equivalent of a bank account number.

Signing up is very straight forward and, on Signup, they will ask you to verify your conventional bank account details by confirming a small deposit that they will make. PayPal does charge fees on your receipts, but don't charge fees on transfers from PayPal to your own bank account.

You can begin with a personal PayPal account, but they will ask you to upgrade to a business account, once your income reaches a certain level. It’s an easy process; they just ask you more detailed questions, for anti-money laundering purposes.

You can open your PayPal account here: https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/merchant

4. Open a separate bank account

This one is entirely optional but we are starting a business here, right? At some stage, you are going to have think about declaring this new found income of yours and even paying the dreaded taxes on it so a separate bank account, from the start, is a good idea. Then you can track all your business income and expenditure more easily.

5. Will you have to pay tax?

Sorry guys, but that’s not a topic for this blog. I retired from accountancy years ago, so tax rules and regulations in your own particular locale are for you to enquire elsewhere about. Just don’t get bitten on the backside by it though!

So, there you have your basics to get you started. Remember to sign up to my email subscription service to get regular updates and the latest tips and advice and please do share this page on social networking sites too.

How to make a living online

Making a living online is the dream of many, but few actually achieve it. This is not because it’s not possible; it’s just that, making a living online is not as simple as some people would have you believe.

There is no magic button that you can press, and then you sit back and watch your online earnings roll on in. What you are going to need, if you want to make a full time living online, is patience, perseverance and a little bit of luck. First, though, let’s talk about whom I am and what this blog is all about.

Making Money Online - My own Story

I won’t bore you here with a full biography; it is knowledge about making money online that you came here for! So, to cut a long story short, I have in my time been an accountant, worked in sales and marketing and run several businesses of my own. I then, for want of a better way of putting it, had a mental breakdown which, once I had recovered from, left me with a hell of a lot of time in hands.

I was left with some decisions to make. I didn't want to go back into traditional employment and was in fact being advised by doctors not to do so. But, not being the type of person who can sit around doing nothing, I started to explore the idea of making my living online.

Like you, I had seen plenty of the ads telling me that I could one million dollars tomorrow, if just clicked here, but the accountant in me told me that this was at best unlikely and most probably a scam, that wanted me to part with some cash.

But, the accountant and entrepreneur side of me was still telling me that it must be possible, so I set out to find out more. I have now spent just under a year researching, trying out ideas and, yes, building an online income and now, I do actually make my living from online earnings.

Making Money Online – The steady and reliable way

Having done all this hard work and finding out, the hard way, what are real online earning opportunities and what are not, I thought the time had come to share my experiences with others on a blog. Now, that’s not because I am so rich that I can afford to become charitable in my old age. This blog will be setting out the steps that I took to achieve a full time income and then links to various websites that I use that you can make money from too. If you sign up for some of the websites that I will mention here, then I get a commission and that’s what they call affiliate marketing. But, then, when you get people to sign up under you, then you will get a commission too, so we are all winners and that’s what this blog is all about.

Making Money Online – What you will get from this blog

OK, so you are asking, what’s in this for me? Well, if you sign up to follow this blog, then you will be emailed, every time I post a new article, or a review of an advertised opportunity to make money online.

I will be including how-to guides on things like setting up your own blog, signing up for advertising programmes as well as reviews of websites that I have made money from. And don’t worry; it won’t be a continuous stream of get rich quick schemes that are sent to your inbox. I will only post articles that I think offer genuine opportunity or about the things that I have used myself. I can also assure you that your email details will remain confidential and I won’t pass them on to any third parties.

Making Money Online – No fee, no commitment, just free information

All you will find here is ideas and tips on how to earn a living online. There is no fee, and you make no commitment on your part. You don’t have to sign up to receive posts by email, that’s just to make it easier for you.

What you will also find is absolute honesty. I won’t bamboozle you with pictures of yachts and fast cars or make false promises. I will, instead, share the ways that I know you can make money online and then, together, we can make a better than good living.
