Hubpages Challenge

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^)/ →

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^)/ →

One thing I have in my (in need of updating) about page explaining what this website is about, is how I raise money whilst I travel (not to boast but to help others do similar). I’ve generally ignored this part and not written much about it previously, but 3 weeks ago AdventureRob.com brought me in just over US$1000 in earnings. This was unexpected and delightfully received, as you can imagine! I now have the proof and incentive that making money online is very much possible, so I intend to make some more!
