Adding eBay Blocks to Hubpages to Increase Revenue

March 6th, 2010

If you’re like a lot of people and you have started writing at Hubpages and were hoping the money was going to start rolling in from Adsense, you may be disappointed.

When most people start something new online, there is usually some level of disappointment. Things often take longer to get going than we initially think. Writing and marketing content online can be a bit of a struggle.

One way to add to your revenue stream and make more money on Hubpages is by adding eBay affiliate boxes to your hubs. I have found that a lot of the visitors to my hubs are interested in these relevant eBay product listings and often click them.

This is a good thing for me since eBay now pays on a per click basis rather than a percentage of purchase. So, if you’re not doing as well with Adsense on Hubpages as you think you should be, add some eBay boxes to your hubs.

But first you have to join the eBay partner network. Otherwise, you won’t get credit for any of the clicks.

Amazon.com affiliate links are also an interesting option and can really pay off if you have a very “commercial” hub that attracts people looking to buy a given product.

Also, if the related products are expensive, your 4% or 6% cut could be decent.

I’d love to hear other people’s experiences with eBay and Amazon on their Hubs.

Hubpages Income Report for December 2009

January 20th, 2010

I have previously reported my Hubpages income reports, so even though it’s late, I figured I would share my December Hubpages earnings with anyone who is interested in making money online with Hubpages.

Many people start out thinking the site is a good place to go for a few backlinks, but in truth you can make some additional income at Hubpages.

In December, I earned $129 from Adsense revenue and another $17 from eBay revenues for a total of $146. Sure, it’s not a huge amount of money, but it has proven to me that there is some serious income potential at Hubpages, which is what I was looking to see.

Over the past four months, my income has continued to get larger each month over the last. The new changes to the eBay program are a good thing for most publishers, since you earn money for each click you receive.

Hubpages Income Report November 2009

December 22nd, 2009

Okay, I know this is a little bit late, but I want to continue to put up my Hubpages income reports every month since I’ve written quite a few posts about how great I think the site is and how helpful it can be in your overall online business and income strategy.

In November, I earned $104.21 in Adsense income and another $17 in eBay income. Although not a huge amount of money, the eBay income was a nice surprise. I am benefiting from the changes eBay has made to its associates program.

The longer I continue to write “hubs” at Hubpages, the better I get at writing them for search traffic and for maximum exposure. For example, one key thing I’ve started doing is linking between similarly-themed hubs. At the end of one hub, I’ll link to five or six other articles that I think may interest the reader.

This is a great way to keep traffic moving between your hubs and to gain more page views. And more page views means more clicks.

The other thing I’ve learned is that quality counts. If you write higher quality hubs, you’ll get more traffic, more comments, and higher scores, all things that help create sustainable pageviews to your work. But that doesn’t mean you can ignore strong, keyword rich titles. A little keyword research will take you a long way.

I now see that Hubpages can be a very good place to make money online–it’s not only useful for back links, which is what a lot of people expect from the site. Hubpages is a great website to integrate into your overall Internet content strategy, whatever it may be. I think every blogger, business owner, or anyone who wants an internet presence at all will benefit from joining and writing at Hubpages. Besides, once you get the hang of it, the site has a really easy publishing system and there’s an engaged community that likes to help each other out.

Make Money on Hubpages by Writing Multiple Hubs on the Same Topic

September 15th, 2009

One of the ways that people make good money with Hubpages is by writing several hubs on the same topic. If two hubs are about a related subject, you can link them to each other. Not only does this give your readers access to more information, it also creates a new permanent link to your other work.

Links between hubs will help you gain more impressions and could help you make more money. Say you write a hub about brewing beer at home. You could write a definitive hub about this hobby and include some information answering the basic questions on how this kind of thing is done, how to get started, and possibly even where to purchase home beer brewing kits.

Your next hub could be about a specific home made beer or your own experience brewing. Maybe you write a product review. You could then link from this hub to your previous hub, thus strengthening your Hubpages search footprint. What I mean by this is you are creating a wider net for people searching for this kind of topic on Google and Yahoo.

You can do this a few times, or you could do this one hundred times. As long as you are creating useful, search engine friendly content (which I will be going into deeper later this week), you will be on your way to getting some good traffic and even earning some money on Hubpages.

Three Reasons Writing Multiple Hubs on the Same Topic Is a Good Idea:

1) It strengthens your previous Hubs by creating back links. Back links help your content become more findable in search queries.

2) It increases your pageviews. More pageviews means more ad impressions and more opportunity to make money on Hubpages.

3) It provides access to more information to your reader. This is a big one because if your content is authoritative, meaning you provide very useful information, your readers may pass on the link, save it on their desktop for future reference, bookmark it, or even link to it from their blog. All these are cool things and will help you gain more exposure.
