Make Money Online for Free with Hubpages

One of the best things about the internet is the ability to write about things you love. If you are a tech junkie, you can write about iPods or plasma tv’s on your blog and make money online with it. If you love sewing, you can write about products and such for that and make money that way.

If you are looking for a free site that will help you make money online with your sites, let me explain how Hubpages work. This site is free to join and is similar to Squidoo lenses. The major difference is that you can revenue share with Hubpages but you have 4 different options to make money. You can use Google Adsense, which is great for “Hubs” that you create that are informational in nature about a topic. You can also use eBay or Amazon.com modules in your Hubs that work really well if you write about topics that are product related.

The main thing to remember is that each Hub works best in getting traffic and clicks/sales if you write it specific to one topic/keyword/item/product. You can also add YouTube Videos, RSS Feeds, News Feeds, pictures and more to your Hub to increase the content and information on it.

Another important thing that makes Hubpages amazing for your niche sites and to make money online is that Google loves them! Unlike Squidoo lenses, Hubpages have a special “spider” we will call it that can scan the Hubs and determine if there are excessive links, affiliate links or if the content just plain sucks on it. Hubpages is NOT for spammers or crappy content.

I have several Hubs created and trust me, the more unique and better the content is that deals with a specific topic, the better your traffic will be. One particular Hub that I created was indexed by Google within 2 hours, was getting organic search engine traffic within 24 hours and had it’s first Adsense clicks within 2 days.

One important thing that you do need to understand is that you share the impressions with Hubpages. What this means is that you will receive 60 percent of the impressions and Hubpages receives 40 percent. You might think this is bad, however they still have to pay their bills and if you write great content and get the traffic, you will see results with Hubpages.
