Why write on HubPages?
Why do so many people choose to write on HubPages?  Hubpages is a very versatile platform, with a page rank of 6 and 930,000 visits per day, making the site one of the busiest places on the Internet.  These reasons, alone, make HubPages one of the best sites for anyone who would like to try their hand at making money online.  This site has so much to offer newbies and those who are already experienced working on the Net.

What does HubPages have to offer?
HubPages has so much to offer, I'm not sure it's possible to list everything in this post.  I'll share the highlights and benefits of HubPages here:

• HubPages has a high page rank.  What is page rank? Page rank is an algorithm that Google uses to measure the quality and trustworthiness of a website.  Websites with higher page rank are seen to have quality content and have proven that they are reputable and trustworthy according to Google.  Hubpages has a page rank of 6, making it one of the best sites on the Web for attracting readers who want to find quality content to address their problems, to find reviews on products, etc.  You can attain a high page rank with your own blog or website, but it takes a lot of time and work to establish yourself as a reputable and trustworthy presence online.  However, writing and publishing on HubPages offers your articles a site that is already authoritative and trustworthy in the eyes of the online world.  Thus, giving you an instant page rank of 6 and putting you above the others who are still working on gaining a high page rank on their own blogs and websites.

• Hubs are indexed faster, by the search engines, than is the content on individual blogs and websites.  This effect is due to the high page rank of HubPages as a whole.   Being indexed faster gets a published hub into the search engines fast for people looking for information online.

•  Page views per day are enormous, as stated above, with 930,000 visits per day (from all over the globe).  With this number of visits per day, you have a very broad audience to connect with.   You can get in touch with readers much faster than you can when writing your own blog.  It takes time to build up readership, but with HubPages it's possible to reach out to thousands instantly once your hub is published.

• HubPages offers a fun community of writers called "Hubbers."  Hubbers come from all walks of life and from all over the world.  They gather on HubPages and congregate in the forums, and also visit one another's hubs offering insight and advice on how to write better and make money online.  Hubbers seem to be a friendly bunch, from my experience.  And there are many who will offer free advice and assistance for those who are new to writing on HubPages. 

•   Hubs can be monetized in several ways, making this a great place for writers and Internet marketers to make money online.  HubPages allows Hubbers to monetize their hubs with Google Adsense, Amazon.com, Ebay and Kontera.  Hubbers can choose any one of these, or even combine all of these affiliate options in their hubs. HubPages, with these money-making options, becomes a great place to earn a passive income online.  Once a Hubber has several hubs published and monetized, the hubs are left to "age," and with maturity comes better earning power from more traffic (over time) for the Hubbers.

•  HubPages makes writing hubs very user friendly.  The hubs are actually put together with separate "capsules."  Each capsule can be a different type of media.  Some capsules are text only, while others contain affiliate products, videos and even polls and pictures.  Hubbers choose which hub template they would like to follow, and are then free to put the hub together with any combination of capsules they choose.  HubPages offers a learning center for new Hubbers, and many hubs have also been written to aid those who are seeking guidance on writing and putting together quality hubs.  This makes hubs very versatile and unique, and easy for writers, businesses, and Internet marketers to utilize the power of HubPages to reach a vast audience.  

• HubPages is a free platform.  Being free means a writer has the opportunity to create an online presence with no need to invest money.  It's possible to make money online with no cash output.  This is a very important point for many people who are currently out of work due to the global economic crisis.  The only investment is time, making HubPages a great place for those who need to earn extra income.  Writers are free to write at any time of the day.  Many people create hubs as a second job on their off time.   

These are the main benefits Hubpages has to offer those who would like to make money online.  It's  a great place to become involved with a fun group of writers and Internet marketers, while at the same time reaching a potential audience of hundreds of thousands.
