In addition to the main revenue streams, Hubpages allows you to make money from the eBay and Amazon affiliate links you add to your pieces of writing or, “hubs.”
These additions can be quite lucrative. I read one story about a writer on Hubpages who received an eBay click-through for a Rolex Watch (his hub is an informative guide to the high quality luxury timepieces) and earned $125 from the one sale.
Obviously, this is a special circumstance, and the article is about a very high priced item, but you can see how you can earn some money with the eBay affiliate program.
There has been a change to the eBay Partner Network (the affiliate program). Publishers who send traffic to eBay will no longer be paid per action, but rather by click. eBay is calling it a move to “Quality Click Pricing.”
In other words, you will be paid a certain amount of money per click that sends traffic to eBay, and no longer will you receive a percentage of the sale price of a good sold to your traffic.
The $125 payment for a Rolex is no longer possible, but that was always a very tough sale to begin with.
Personally, I have already earned more money from eBay since this new program has been instated than I ever did before. It’s hard to get your traffic to actually buy something, so for less savvy publishers and “marketers” this move to pay per click should improve earnings.
It has for me.
Sign up for Hubpages and get started writing and earning. If you want to.
