How To Make Money Online with HubPages


Are you looking for an inexpensive and straightforward way to make a bit of extra money?  HubPages may be the answer you’ve been searching for. HubPages has been touted as a great way for beginners to make money, however even advanced marketers are finding this resource profitable. Here’s a quick look at how to make money online with HubPages.

What on earth are HubPages?

HubPages is a website that essentially makes it possible to publish your own content and monetize it. The process is quite simple. If you have a topic you’re knowledgeable about and enjoy writing about then HubPages is a perfect place to get started.

Your first steps…

The first step you’ll need to do to begin making money with HubPages is to register for an account. Browse the site to get familiar with how it works.

The next thing you’ll want to do is to choose a topic. While a broad topic may feel more comfortable, it’s easier to make money from a niche topic. A niche topic is a sub-topic of a broader topic. For example, if you enjoy writing about sports that’s an extremely broad topic. A niche topic might be rock climbing. An even more narrow niche might be rock climbing in Colorado or rock climbing indoors. 

So write down a few topics you’d like to write about, create a list of potential niches so you can make more money, we’ll talk about how in just a bit, and then do a bit of keyword research. Visit a site like the Google AdWords external keywords tool, (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) and enter your niche topics to evaluate demand. The topics with the most potential for profit have a lot of people looking for that information online and not very many websites providing it. 

For example, let’s say you’re searching the web for information on rock climbing. You’ll see there are literally thousands of websites providing information on the subject. However if you search rock climbing indoors the demand is still very high but there aren’t as many sites devoted to the topic. Climbing safety has similar results and also looks to be a good potential topic.

Your next step is to fill your HubPages with a wealth of informative content. 

But what about making money?

The key to making money on your HubPage is to register for a Google AdSense account and relevant affiliate accounts. For example, if you’re writing about climbing safety then you can affiliate with rock climbing retailers like REI. You’ll include their affiliate links in your content and on your website and each time someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase, you earn money.     

Sounds pretty simple, right?

It actually is. The good news about HubPages is that it is free to get started so there’s zero risk. Additionally, as your HubPage grows your income does too. And you have some control over how fast your page grows. You can utilize article marketing, social networking and other marketing strategies to drive traffic to your HubPage. Each page visit is a potential source of income for you so it pays to market your page. 

HubPages are such a great way to make money that many people have multiple pages and accounts. If you’re interested in earning money online and not sure where to get started, give HubPages a try.
