Hubpages is a website that allows people to build hubs or pages free of charge. The pages created by members are relevant to many different subjects; gardening, traveling, technology, artistic activities, gastronomy, astronomy and whatever you can imagine.
One of the best thing about Hubpages is that it gives its members the opportunity to make money.
These are some of the many ways to earn money with Hubpages
1) Adsense
Hubpages shares with each hub owner a percentage of the commissions earned from google adsense. These commissions are generated from clicks done by visitors on the ads displayed on each hubpage.
In order to take advantage of this money making method you need to have a google adsense account. You can open an account with adsense free of charge
2) eBay and Amazon
If you have an eBay store or an amazon account you can promote them and earn money on your hubpage through some special modules provided for this purpose.
3) Affiliate Programs
Another great way to make money with hubpages besides adsense, eBay and amazon is through affiliate marketing.
You can do this by adding links or banners to your affiliate products. There are many afilliate programs available on the internet that you can take advantage of, like clickbank and Commission Junstion.
4) Hubpages referral program
Hubpages has also an affiliate program. They pay their members a percentage of the commissions generated by people they refer to the site.
5) Send visitors to your own blog
You can also use hubpages to increase the traffic of your own blogs and websites. This will help you to increase the income of your sites as well.
These are only some suggestions to earn money with hubpages. There are probably other methods to monetize the site. Keep in mind that if you want to take full advantage of Hubpages it is very advisable that you write more than just one hub; the more you write the more money you will earn.

Your last point may be the most important. For people looking to earn money, it’s really important to create several Hubs. You never know which Hub will be the strong earner and like a good portfolio, you want to spread the risk around.
Two other things about Hubs. Like fine wine, a great Hub does better with age. Traffic to an individual Hub peaks at around 30 months after it’s first published. The other thing, the more Hubs you make, the more effective authors become at creating Hubs that drive traffic and earn, so it takes a bit of practice.
You possibly can add me to your “longing for an update” list. I’m contemplating giving this method an attempt myself and I’d love to hear how effective you thought it was.
