You CAN Make Money On HubPages
IT IS TRUE. All the hype. Every bit of it. It IS possible to make money online.
There I was, wallowing in blog obscurity (the blogosphere, to those in the know) promoting, emailing, linking; promoting, emailing, linking; promoting, emailing, linking. You know the drill.
And yet, zero revenue. Granted, my blog was not designed primarily as a revenue stream, but I began believing all the "how to's" and "add sense" and began to think, "...just maybe."
Until, one day, I found HubPages. Now, I am called a "Prodigy". I have fans (really, fans, they label themselves such). I get fan mail (the politically correct term is "comments", but, same thing). And I will soon retire into the lap of luxury.
Thank You All.
...I'd like to take this opportunity to thank HubPages. If it was not for you, I would still be a lone voice in the sea of blogs, and lenses, and hubs. I will sing your praises to anyone who will listen. You have made me who I am today.
...I'd like to thank my wife for supporting me over this past month, and standing by me while I struggled to climb my way to the top here at HubPages. I'm sure it's been as hard on her as it has on me, and I love her more for her support. All the missed dinners, proofreadings, stroking my ego and telling me, "Very good, honey.", I owe you more than you can ever know.
...Last, but most certainly not least, I'd like to thank YOU, my fans; my readers, without you who knows where I would be today. And, to all of the little people out there who made this all possible, I say, "Thank You(!), from the bottom of my heart."
I gladly, but humbly, accept the title of "Prodigy" and the payday that comes with it. I will never forget where I came from. I will remember you all, I promise.
Author's Note:
The title "Prodigy" no longer applies as in just six short weeks I have attained the title "Expert", my prodigiousness was apparently apparent to others as well.
I assume the financial rewards will reflect this expertise as well.

You are too modest Marmalade.
Nice hub. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you. The $.01 will come in handy.
You are too funny Peter! I've been with Hubpages 6 weeks, have 644 views and have earned $.45, thankyou very much!!! You have something to look forward to in your next 3 weeks. I am putting $.04 in my tithing fund.
Thanks for the encouragement Dottie1. Pretty soon you can buy a soda...I can only aspire to that kind of money...Ahhhh, but it's nice to dream!
Well done. Now remember with all of those big ideas for where to spend your online earnings...a penny saved is a penny earned.. Possibly investing would suit you well?
That was too funny. I expected to see this huge number and be jealous of your new hubfame, and then the ending, brilliant!
Thanks sunstreeks and djtphn1. Great advice and very gracious.
I was the same when I started, Peter. You'll even find a post somewhere on the forums where I asked if I was doing something wrong. However, things are suddenly looking up - I checked my Adsense the other day and I have $17! Yes, seventeen whole dollars!
I've had a blog for six months and only earned 2 cents, so actually I'm pretty impressed. Sad, isn't it?
Thanks Marisa. I absolutely love hubpages. I would do it for free. But, yes, the prospect of some payment is great. Congrats on $17. Breakthrough is on the horizon.
This I relate to, having gone through this. But you're luckier, your wife supports you. My wife just gives me dirty looks. Maybe I should put her next to me like in your profile pic!
A LOL hub, thank you!
Peter! Congrats ! Wow! The interest alone will make it worth your while...but if I were you I wouldn't even think of investing; this being your first major earning go crazy with it, blow it all or buy your wife something nice but also have some fun.
I just loved the HUB
regards Zsuzsy
Thanks Kenny and Zsuzsy. I'm still debating what to do with my new found wealth. I think I may take your advice and splurge.
I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I AM SO SORRY pETER. i AM READING YOUR HUB IN THE NIGHT AT 0,45 AM AND LAUGHIN HYSTERICALLY.aCTUALL
THERE WAS NO NEED TO PROVIDE PROOF FOR YOUR INCOME. nOW i AM TALKING SOMETHING SERIOUS. yOU NEED TO LINK YOUR HUBS WITH DEL.ICIO.US, MYBLOGROLL, AND IF YOU HAVE YAHOOMAIL a/C ADD YOUR ALL HUBS IN MY FAVOURITES. oNE MORE THING TO SUGGEST: ADD YOUR REFERRAL TRACKER IN BETWEEN YOUR url. iT WILL MAKE YOUR EARNINGS ATLEAST 1.0 $.
Thanks, premsingh. I do all of those things now. I just couldn't help but laugh myself when I saw my first earnings statement was $.01. Actually, I am fairly close to $1.00 now. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Funny - nice hub - but remember the screen shot you are showing is only an estimate of your referrals for your actual adsense earnings you have to log onto google - my referrals say $3.45 but I have earned near 3x that figure last month ALONE - so I can buy a coffee and soda! I must say though that I am basically doing much better from HP than my other sites/blogs
So I do have a future writing hubs! Right on! That was hilarious and just what I needed to end my long day. Maybe you should consider compiling all of your hubs into a book and then selling them to all your fans:)
...
Thanks Lissie and luvnlyf. I appreciate you taking the time to read. I also appreciate your comments.
I was smiling at the beginning your article and laughing at the end; I admit I squinted my eyes to see your earnings, and saw your substantial earnings at the end! Maybe in 3 weeks when I have been here 5 weeks, I will earn my very first cent! :)
Nice Hub
and I wish you come with more figures in your proofs next time ;-)
Thanks VioletSun and eugie17. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading.
Keep up the good work. It will definately pay off. That .01 will be 100.00 soon. ;-)
Thank you Whitney05. I know it will.
I am a complete newbie to hubpages, but time will tell if i can get my head around it. Primarily I would love to learn how to get backlinks from hubpages.com, any suggestions?
There is a "Links' capsule that you can add to any hub and insert links to any website. As long as your hubs are not too promotional of other sites, there shouldn't be a problem
Most entertaining. Don't spend it all at once.
Thanks Mark. I'm happy to entertain. I will try to be wise about spending it.
I suggest you give all this wealth to the little lady standing by her man!
She deserves Every penny.
It's sad not all people enjoy the use of 'Computer-land' as we all do. Or at least understand our time on!
Thanks, Betty Jo. She gets just about every bit of it.
You are witty and hilarious! Thanks for bringing amusement to my day!
Thank you, christine. I'm glad to be of service.
I would be interested to know if your ctr went up after you pulicized your hub? I personally found one add that attracted me. Can you tell me how do you take snapshots of those screens and put them here in your post?
I use a program called Gadwin Printscreen. It is free to download and easy to use. It allows you to capture as a jpg file any portion of your computer screen.
Thanks Peter. Thats a great tool and I use it regularly now. I see with paintshop the image can be compressed as well. Great tip and thanks for letting me know.
Thanks, terryg.
Peter!! I just saw this hub, and think it's great that you posted it.
Isn't Hubpages awesome?!
Don't forget the biblical story of the widow's mite. Perhaps you should give your penny to a microlender.
Gamegirl, yes indeed, Hubpages rocks...and the money's great
LOL barranca. Lesson learned: it's not the amount, it's the return.
I was thinking, that someday I could go to the movies (by myself!) Nice work
LOL VNavigator. I wrote this hub some time ago, and I do have enough now to go to the movies, but just barely.
I love your sense of humor- I just found out I'm a prodigy too and I also recieved the same paycheck! Time to celebrate. I'm buying a yacht!
Thanks, Dorsi. Oh, if you're buying a yacht, you did not receive the same paycheck, I can assure you.
I can officially say you've earned .01 more than me. Shall we throw a party? Your treat?
Actually, it is a little more than $.01 now, but not too much. Hang in there. When I reach enough to hit the google payout, then we'll talk.
The title of your hub was captivating, but then I read one cent, LOL!
Peter, it is hard to believe that with your Score = 95, Fans = 97, and Hubs = 30, you have not earned much more that $.01. But at least please feel confronted knowing someone is in the same earnings club at you. I keep wondering if I will ever make any money here, thank God I am patient!
I wrote that hub a while back Marlo, so I've made a little more than that now. Not much, but a little. Almost enough to take my wife to dinner...as long as I don't eat. LOL. Patience is good.
I think this is part of the starving writer syndrome...lol...Or half a dinner writer syndrome.....
Indeed. When making 20 or so bucks for 3 months and countless hours makes you excited, it's some kind of syndrome.
Hey, Peter. You are doing well, but if you want to do GREAT, you should check out my hubs about Peanut Butter Marketing, Pirate Marketing and how to write more forgetable articles!
I think we could help each other out a lot.
Too funny, mroconnell. Will do. Thanks for stopping by.
well, I'm excited. The future is bright...yada yada yada ha Marisue
The future is bright, indeed. Good luck, Marisue and thanks for reading.
Now THIS is a clever hub, you have given many joy after strolling the comments too.
Just thought I'd give you a penny for my thoughts but I see you already have one!
Thanks DJFunktaul. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Go ahead, then I will have 2.
Furthermore, though Peter you have inspired a lot. After checking out your stub I made the laborious journey to see the fruits of my labor. I have 80 cents from my google gig. I was ecstatic! i had zero forever! I stopped looking. I ran in to my wife in the kitchen and said , "Honey you gotta see this!"
Now for your reward....my good friend. I also checked my amazon account which has been activated and i saw no money......but wait!
I've never put an ad from amazon ON one of my hubs! What am i an idiot? (Please don't answer for me) I know I am.
So tonight for the first time ever and completely driven by THIS HUB ALONE, I give a TOP 5 VIDEOS with ta-dah! Amazon ads! Thanks for the kick in the ass! Here's the link if you don't mind.
http://hubpages.com/hub/TOP-5-Videos--The-Unsung-C
and I THANK YOU! (LOL! My wife just yelled, "Me too!)
Thanks, DJFunktaul. I'm glad to be an inspiration. I will certainly check it out.
You rock dude. btw It's Funktual. sounds like punctual.
Ah, my bad. FunktUAL. I don't why I have been doing that. I appreciate you pointing it out. Thanks.
This is a great hub. And an inspiration to all who seek 'instant riches'. Glad to hear you're doing better. And thanks for the info on the screen capture programme. Very handy.
Definitely a hub worth sharing.
Thanks, sansscrect. I'm glad you were inspired. It is a great little program, and I highly recommend it.
LOL very refreshing way of putting it Peter, as of today I only have .43$ :)
You are well on your way to fame and riches beyond your wildest dreams. I do believe I have broken the $20 mark though, but only barely. Luckily, the increases are exponential, so it took forever to get to $1, but the $5 and $10 marks came much more quickly. Good luck to you.
Very funny indeed. Often times in this society we need to remember to smile. I hope to find my success and earn my penny very soon.
This is the best kind of post to read when one is feeling like running away and never building another hub again. Persistence is the key in all things.
ROFLMAO @ the .01 coming in handy. Ya'll are funny. If you really want to make some serious cash though with hubpages (over $30 a sale up to $1000s per sale) then you need to get into an affiliate teaching program, such as the WU @ http://WA.ProtoProtoss.net/ which has reviews at http://www.squidoo.com/TheWAU & http://www.squidoo.com/_WealthyAffiliate_ /
Thanks, ebookshack. I'm always happy to provide a laugh. Persistence is most definitely key.
Thank you protoprotoss. The $.01 will come in handy.
Very funny--I was straining my eyes to see how much you made on the statement at the top of the page. I was expecting some total of hundreds of dollars or something. Then I got to the bottom and had to laugh.
Thanks, Chris. It's definitely worth a laugh. I appreciate you reading.
Toooo Funny! I don't know if I am allowed to do this, but I'd like you to be able to buy your wife a dinner so you may want to hop on over to http://blog.worldvillage.com/ sign up, write a few articles (even point to your hub pages but not blatently), use the right keywords and very quickly get on the third page of google AND earn several dollars per week! I quit writing for ezine articles and now focus on worldvillage. My monthly income from them averages a whopping $100 now which really isn't too bad. It's 1/3 of my montly adsense revenue. It's 2AM. Thanks so much for making me laugh. I needed it! God bless YOU two.
Thanks for the tip workathomemom. I appreciate it. I will have a look. I'm glad you laughed, that makes it all worth it.
Wow, what an article :D . I did not even expect that i would be reading a funny article in hubpages with title "absolute proof:you can make money hubpages".
Thanks, victoryv. I'm glad you found it funny. The title usually suckers people in. Thanks for reading.
That was funny! I'm pretty daft and didn't realize it was a joke til the end though, hehe. you only show your refferal tracker though...are you signed up for google adsense as well? how are you doing there? I've only been at this 4 days now i think, and i've earn around $12 with ad sense.
$12 in 4 days is quite impressive. Yes, this was under HubPages old referral tracker system. They no longer preview earnings this way, fortunately. I'll put it this way, I hope that I will get my first Google payout fairly soon. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you thought it was funny.
These are all great ideas for making money online I just posted a new hub explaining how to make a ton of easy cash on the internet using linkbid script.
Peter, that was too funny! 1 cents. But hey, it was something right? I just started out, and hope to make a few cents myself..or at least a few clients/customers who want to do business with me. :) At any rate, I'm enjoying the sharing of information here.
linkbid script, that was not exactly the point of my hub, but thanks for reading.
dabblingmum, thanks. I hope you prosper here at hubpages. I know you will enjoy your time here. You will make a few cents, just be patient, it will come.
Hahahaha.... Oh so funny. Oh so sad. Waaaaah! I am your fan. I love your honesty.
Thank you, hot dorkage. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to HubPages.
I snicker & whimper empathically Peter! Go check out hubbers wordplay and squimpleton. They have great ideas that should drive your earnings up by at least another BUCK!! Hell go for broke...
For my traffic, I use site build it as THE way to go. They help you build pages correctly from the get go and believe me, it's worth every cent to get help. Otherwise, you're a speck of sand on a deserted beach!! So why bother writing at all, right?
If you want SOMEONE to read your stuff, there's search engine optimization (SEO) and the search engines to contend with. AT http://www.netrageouz.net/toolbox.htm I gather dozens and dozens of resources if you're ready to set up a sweet spot in the virtual universe. Great hub and thank you for the post!!
WhoIs Netrageouz? http://www.myspace.com/netrageouz
Thanks, netrageouz. My earnings have improved...a little. I'm almost to my first Google payout. I wrote this hub very early on, but I do hope it is an eye opener for those who think they will get rich here at HP.
lol, funny I thought you really earn a lot. anyways it is better to have something than nothing at all. great article.
That was too funny, thanks for sharing.
I have been given some serious consideration to all of the "adword" strategies, I even purchased an e-book from internet guru, Chris Carp____ a while back. Not sure which direction to head but having a blog spot makes sense. That is provided the affiliate links are combined with meaningful content.
Looking for serious, experienced web-marketers who are willing to share some of their insights without the upfront $$$ for yet another ebook strategy.

(everyone is willing to hire me on straight commission, but that's another story for another posting.
wow! that rocks.
a lot less effort than looking under your couch cushions for loose change.
Thanks, preciousleonna. Yes, I'm well on my way to my first Google payout.
Research Analyst, thank you. I'm always glad to make someone laugh. I appreciate you reading.
Fritz, thanks for reading.
Princess g, thank you very much. I guess it depends on how much you typically find under your sofa cushions... Thank you.
