Happy Valentine's Day

Last week I didn't manage to write a new hub--sometimes circumstances take precedence to writing.  Even so, I made an Amazon sale last week.  It was a shock to see one sale when I checked my Amazon Associate's earnings and found that one sale--my first.  I'm not sure which hub the sale came from, but it was one of my gluten free hubs.  Someone purchased my favorite gluten free cookbook.  That's encouraging, even though the earnings from this one book were not high, and I'm hoping this first sale will have opened the floodgates and now more sales will soon come along.

That's the update for this week.  I would like to wish you Happy Valentine's Day!  Today is the day of love in many places around the world, although some countries do see it as more of an imported, commercialized day.  What are your thoughts about the day?  Take a look at these hubs about St. Valentine and the day of Love to see how the holiday is celebrated around the world, and the history and tradition behind Valentine's Day.

Ad Placment Advice

Monday, January 31, 2011

Today's post is a bit short, but I wanted to share some great advice on the best ad placement.  This method does work, and it is not a scam or a gimmick.  

A friend of mine, Hospitalera, is a fellow-Hubber on HubPages.  She, in turn, is friends with another Hubber named Lissie.  Both Hospitalera and Lissie offer great advice for making money online, including how to write hubs and make residual income.

Lissie has a great blog post about optimal ad placement for hubs on HubPages.  Her advice is spot on, and offers insight on how to increase your passive income on HubPages.

I am using this method, myself, and have to say it seems to be one of the best ways to write in order to have ads placed at the best position to earn.

A quick update, I now have 15 hugs as of last week.  Traffic's good, but I need to find more ways to backlink and improve traffic and clicks.   My writing schedule is keeping on track with writing at least one new hub per week, but my goal is to build up to 30 hubs.  That's a challenge as things are busy right now, but I might be able to write additional hubs in the evening.  We'll see how it goes. 

Good luck and happy Hubbing!

Helpful Hubbers: Rebecca E

So, you’re new to writing on HubPages, and you don’t know where to begin.  I’ve been there, and had no idea how to work with the different capsules, Adsense, and the Amazon Affiliate program.  I’m still in learning mode, but I have found several hubbers who offer helpful information in hubs they’ve written on how to succeed with HubPages. 

One of the hubbers with some of the most helpful information is Rebecca E.  She’s written 195 hubs, has 2,346 followers, and has been a member of HubPages for 17 months.  Wow.  Rebecca E offers information on how to earn money online, how to write better hubs, and more.  One of Rebecca E’s hubs that has helped me the most is Making Money (Earn) from and With Google AdSense in a(One)Day (USD): How Much is Good? (And What do you Want to Make).  In this hub, Rebecca E discusses the fact that writing on HubPages is a business.  You need to have this mindset in order to succeed.  She goes on to discuss the importance of goal-setting in your writing, and the realities of getting paid with Adsense.  Rebecca makes a firm statement that not everyone will make money with Adsense.  I appreciate her honesty on this.  It’s not easy to write online content and earn a living—and it’s best to understand this from the beginning.  There are no get-rich quick ways to make money online that actually succeed.  Earning an online income is work, and you have to work hard and steadily in order to accomplish your goal of making money. 

Another helpful hub by Rebecca E is Make Money, Improve your Google Adsense Earnings in Three Days, But You’d Better Want to Make Money.  Again, Rebecca E stresses working online is just that—work—and it is your business—the business of making money online.  Earning an online income takes a plan and discipline, along with learning from your mistakes.  Rebecca discusses how to increase your Adsense earnings in three days.  Her advice is correct and sensible, so be sure to check out her hub for the details. 

Here’s another hub that has helped me, Amazon Affiliate Program Payout:  Amazon and HubpagesIn this hub, Rebecca E discusses the need to have more than one income stream when you’re working online.  That means, it’s advisable not to rely on only one source of income, but rather develop several income streams.   That way, if one stream dries up, you’ll still have an income coming from the other streams you’ve developed.   Rebecca E talks about using the Amazon Affiliate program, and then goes on to explain how to sign up for the program and what to expect after that.

Like I said earlier, I’m still in the learning process with making money online.  I understand it takes discipline and work to make money, just as it does in the “real” world.  So, if you stick to your plan day after day, and don’t give up, and learn from your mistakes, I believe you will become successful.  Be sure to check out these helpful hubs, and explore more advice given by other top hubbers in order to learn how to succeed.

Good luck and happy hubbing!

Learning from Other Hubbers

Wandering through the hubbers list on HubPages is always an interesting trip.  You find so many people, from very diverse backgrounds and places, who write informative and helpful hubs.  Some hubbers are not only out to make money for themselves, but offer insight and advice for new hubbers to follow and find success.  Every-so-often I will feature these helpful hubbers here with you. 

One hubber I encountered for the first time is Dale Mazurek.  Dale's written a very helpful series of hubs called Earn Money Working from Home-Ezine Articles.  This is an eight-part series sharing Dale's tips for getting more traffic and income for your hubs.  I read through the series this morning and found some very helpful tips.  Dale's writing flows and you'll have no trouble following his no-nonsense steps.  I highly recommend reading this series in order to gain some insight into the importance of article writing and how it plays an essential part in gaining traffic and customers to your blogs and websites.

Another site Dale writes is called Hubber's Hangout, where he shares his favorite hubs with readers.  Dale offers a great selection of hubs. Be sure to check it out!

Happy hubbing on HubPages!
