6 Months Later...
This post is a bit of a break from all the travel stuff and is about my feeble adventures in making money online. 6 Months ago I completed the hubpages challenge, an experiment in making money online where I published writing on the hubpages website, put Google adsense on and links to Amazon
products (where I get a tiny percentage (3-5%) of any product sold). As I promised at the end of the experiment I’m now going to analyse whether it worked or not and if it’s worth doing. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

I have been asked to review a hotel comparison website called HotelCalculator.com so this is what this post is about.
Firstly – it’s got a cool an appropriate name, you already know what it’s about just from the title. It is a place to compare hotel prices in the city you are interested in visiting.

Just a quick update on what’s happening in my life right now. If you didn’t know I have taken a break from travelling for the past few months and have been at home in England. But now it’s time to say syonara. Sometime I will write a related post about my local city and it’s history (not a common place to people to visit – I’ve never seen it on another travel blog so far), however this will tie in with another attempt at making some money online later on (which involves iPhones).
Anyway, the title gives away the next period in my ‘travel life’. I am going to Japan… for a year. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

30 Days Over
I have now spent 30 days writing articles for hubpages in an effort to build a online passive income stream. Of course this is an experiment that won’t show if it works until a year or so into it (whether it generated money straight away or takes a few months). So I will probably report on it occasionally/as demand wants it.
The challenge was to complete 100 ‘hubs’ (a written article of high quality) and publish to the hubpages.com website within a 30 day time limit. I aimed for 700 words per hub, although not essential, it was a reasonable guideline to aim for.
Hubpages.com puts adverts in place and gives 60% of the income from the advertisers to those who wrote the respective article that the advert was placed on and a reader clicked on. So say an advertiser is paying $1 per every click, I would receive 60c from it and hubpages took 40c of that for their own needs.
Anyhow… the results… Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
