My last post highlighted a few of the benefits of writing on HubPages. HubPages is a very versatile platform that’s great for everyone from newbies to those more experienced writers and Internet marketers. I’ve watched the site for a long time to see how it ran, and to learn how people were using it. After this “watching time” I decided to give HubPages a try. I’m a newbie at writing online in this way, but it is a fun learning experience.

HubPages is used in many different ways. There are writers who just enjoy writing and sharing their insights and advice, there are others who are there to share advice and would like to make a little extra money online, and then there is another breed of writers who use HubPages as a promotional tool. Hubs of all kinds and styles abound. This makes HubPages an exciting place to write.

I like the fact that HubPages is free and open to all people around the world. As one who likes the “bootstrapping” method of making money online, this free site is a wonderful opportunity to have a potential audience of hundreds of thousands of people each day. Amazing. I am currently in the process of expanding my online money-making process, and HubPages offers a great platform to reach a massive audience in a short time. I have a lot to learn, but that audience is out there and I’m learning how to attract a few toward my hubs.

HubPages is also a legitimate website, making this a very attractive writing platform for me. I am one who doesn’t like to write “crap.” My purpose, in writing online, is to provide valuable information and advice to others, and to earn money in the process. I am a perfectionist and want to provide the best content possible to help others, and I look for sites that are legit and not fly-by-night on which to write.

These are the reasons I’ve taken up writing on HubPages, why do you write for HubPages? Or why have you chosen not to write on HubPages?

Happy Hubbing!

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!

 Part of the process of learning how to make money online is reading and researching other blogs and resources offering "how to's."  This process is like being in college--you have to study and learn, and then apply what you've learned in order to be successful.  Each day I spend some time gathering information on many topics, one of which is how to make money online and how to use HubPages to fulfill that goal.

While checking my email this morning I came across an interesting blog post by Leo at Internet Marketing for the Rest of Us.  In the post, How to Improve Your HubPages Earnings, Leo offers some very blunt advice on how to go about the process of making money online.  Check out his post--you'll learn that making money online is not easy, but that it is work in the full meaning of the word:  time + effort + education + experiments = success and earning a living online. 

Good luck with your making money online endeavors!
