Make Money Online: Time, Luck, Content and Traffic.... and a Couple of Fine Hubs and Websites

69

By Rebecca E.

You want to earn a lot of money, so much money that you don't know what to do with yourself. Just one fact you might forget. So does everyone else. This is true of anyone who markets or publishes on the Internet.

The why is the important part in making money for anyone. Why do you want to make money? For yourself? For your business? For your dreams? For your writing? Why is important in this online business. Not how when or where.

For some Google and its programs represent the way to making money online. the Internet is full of people who would love to make money. making money is a part of this business, like it or not. if you have a dream making money is valuable. So people flock to google, to amazon, to eBay, to anywhere that might make them money.

If they are writing about making money, well then, they forgot two things: Time and Business.

For those who want money for other reasons: This is a business and they can't lose sight of that. But part of a business is people, and that is why you need content time and luck to make some money.

So, for my 100th hub, here goes time, luck, and content.

Money Money Money Money! just how easy is it on hubpages to do this?

Money Money Money Money! just how easy is it on hubpages to do this?

Content: This is where the work/fun begins, in all businesses you need a plan, I like to look at the start of a hub and try to figure out what people need. See everyone needs something, and we all have talent to give them that something.

You Content should be one things you know. I am not guru, although it's nice to think that sometimes, still I am always learning, and that is an important aspect to my content, I learn differently than others, so I write differently than others.

My writing is my life, but it is also a business, I have four blogs, and many followers, each one is unique with different needs. My content needs to be part of the way to help others and to make money. The content is vital. People need to come away saying I can do this, and I can do it well.


Your content is your plan, people tend to read hubs like they shop they get something out of or or two point at a time, and if you have a lot of points they will come back, and find something new. Make your content easy to read, and helpful.

Always follow a plan, in layout, in writing and in making your hubs successful.

Time: This is where you've written your hub and published it. Now you need time, so now you need to link hat hub to others, but also link the hub to your blogs, to your websites and to other places. Google is intelligent, so there is a fine art to linking, but that is a whole other hub!

Still as MyWebs said it can take up to a year to get things going, so time is a big thing, traffic is a bonus as it is the only way to make money online. No, there is no get rich quick ideas, I don't have any.

I use blogger, and wordpress for my blogs, and I use hubpages for hubs and I try to link between them. This way people save time trying to find other hubs or websites of mine. Don't over promote, but give your hubs a chance!

Your success depends on you, and on time, so never never never give up! You are a published author, this you can be proud of, so bravo to you! think of it as a beginning to your successful business. This hub of your needs so help in teh form of time, and content and links but also traffic.

Traffic: This is the one I can't write enough about, so I'll try not to go on and on. Traffic to your hubs is a must, and you need to get traffic to hubs. This is a business and there are many ways to get traffic, but if you want traffic and you want to make money, you'd better remember three things: Social Networking, SEO, and Google + Links. (I know it seems like four but wait!)

Social Networking+ Links: Get on to Stumble Upon and Digg and FaceBook if you haven't done so already. Keep your name and avatar the same as hubapges or a blog of yours, this way people will find you. Next add your hubs to your favorites on all these sites, Stumble Upon is the best. Can you guess what you just did?

That's right you added a link to your hub on all these sites, I'd add this next part because it's important. Go to at least ten of your favorite hubs (no yours others) and Stumble Them and comment that you did. Good. Guess what? You've added a link to your profile on someone else's hub and they will more likely go to your hub, and possibly do the same for one of your hubs. That is social networking at its finest. Same with Facebook and digg, but digg is the second most important-- to me at least

SEO+ Links: This is really simple, find a good title with the keywords in your hub, and yes you can edit your title, then work with Google to see if it's improved your hubs, use Google AdWords for this by typing in keywords, don't worry about money yet just the right keywords. Money come later in terms of links.  Think of it as promoting your business properly.  This is a good one to build a library of books on.

Google+ Links:  Google uses links and traffic to measure where to rank your hubs, now I'm not getting into the page rank thing here, just this gives you and idea that the more links to a hub you have the better.  Google looks at keywords, so use your keyword wisely and with care.  these are tags on hubs, but take the time to notice what works and what doesn't in terms of keywords.

 

These are all improtant in terms of traffic the more people like your hub the more chance there will be to link between hubs and to get more traffic and if you plan your bussiness right you will make some money.

Luck:Yes it's a fact, making money online is a business, but it also involves some luck. I have been lucky, and that has helped. But my luck for lack of a better term comes from you. This Is a business after all and in a business you have some VIPs and these are you. Treating them with care is important. Which is why I say luck has everything to do with it, as I am lucky to have such great people coming to my hubs. So here I go.

I am lucky because of: KCC Big Country and Dohn121-- these two have been here and were the first two to comments on my very first hub. (it is called how writing changed my life) From there on in I have been very lucky, as I have learned to improve my content, ans of course myself and who I am as a person and a writer.  It is a step by step process, that began with the first hub and will continue on each and every one of my hubs on hubpages.

Yes there is a bit of luck when it come to publishing hub and making money online, but still I think with good content and traffic, luck will come your way!

To your success. To your high quality, great content hubs and to your 100th hub!

thanks, I would suggest that you begin on Stumble Upon or Digg and at least have your work there, I would also say that this is the beginning and not the end to yoru social networking. If you have dugg a story that someone has also "dugg" then that is a way to find out.

Your a great hubber. I wish I had some of your luck. I'm trying to learn how to promote my first hub, but am still not sure how to use some of these sites. Do you have to add personal friends on Digg or can it be anyone? Is there a way to find other hubbers digg?

I like to see you reaching all this goals, now is 100 hubs, pretty soon will be 1000 followers. You do so much for helping others that it's wonderful to see you having such success. Also 100 hubs and almost 1000 followers means an average of 10 followers per hub, a ratio not very common. Thanks for mentioning me, it's something that makes my soul shining, and thanks for all the times you helped me, with words and advices. Good advices. You well deserve all these positive things. :) Stumbled. :)

At your recommendation, I wandered up to StumbleUpon and got things rolling. The traffic is already increasing from there and now I have a personal score of 90 which is better than I ever had! I've only been here for about three months or so and have 25 Hubs at this point. I am very happy with my 25 and can't wait to see what God has for the 75 it will take for me to bust that 100 mark!

Here's to your next 100! Congrats!
