Patience is Required To Make Money on Hubpages: Otherwise, Don't Say I Can't Find It
66Make Money on Hubpages
There are many questions asking how to make money on hubs, or why can't I make money on my fine hubs, (read the hub which I have just published two minutes ago!) but there is one thing that these people have in common. No patience. This is a business and yes you need to think like a business.
I read it and see them asking, in the basic sense, I've written a hub and now, why is the making money part not happening? Simple question, hard answer. There are many excellent hubs out there with a lot of information and of great value, but the reality is that if you aren't getting many people reading it you aren't going to be making money on ANY hub. I'm new at this myself, but I'd like to share with you some of the things I've noticed are true to making money with hub pages.
Have more than one really good hub:
This is a basic and important thing about hub pages. Like a blog, it works like a domino effect. You write one hub and an emails gets sent to your fans. That is why it's encouraged to write your finest and to review and edit your work as much as you can. I am not one to suggest that my writing is better than anyone else's but I did find one little thing. Infact I make a point of telling people in many of my hubs you need a good editor.
Look at your account, one of the sections is traffic sources. This is beyond important, as it tells you where people are coming from. What the ideal is, for any hub, is to have people come from other sources than hub pages, this of course will take while. This is where you can maximize your google AdSense. I'm not suggesting that you don't get clicks from other sources, but that is harder to get.

Learning, Writing, Google, then Money
Write With Passion and Content People Need to Comment On:
If people don't comment, it won't really be read often, like everyone else, I want my hubs to have success, but for me the comments are vital. If there is something everyone wants it's to be heard. Comments mean it's going around hub pages. Look at people's profiles and you can find who commented on what. Other will soon follow. This will lead to more clicks as well. But for me the comments are of value.
The more you comment, on other's hubs the more your name is out in hub pages, and the more people will look at your profile and then look at the hub. They might even link your hub to one of their new ones. There are hundreds if not thousands of great hubs on hub pages, you need to do some work. Comment, Write more hubs, get more fans.
Learn A Bit More About Hub Pages And Google:
I don't know of many hubbers on hub pages that have one or two hubs and can say they have plenty of money to show for it. The one similar comment most have made is this: learn about what work for google and for hubs. The title is vital, google needs to be able to find it. It needs to be high up on a search list.
Learn the basics. Linking between your hubs helps, but more importantly links between you and others hubs. It's a way of showing respect. Mark Knowles is a great teacher about google and he gave me so many ideas to help.
Editing your hubs (or updating your published hubs)is also important. Hit the spell check button. Don't doubt yourself, but keep writing and publishing the best hubs you can possibly do. Keep learning. There is so much to learn on hub pages. I am a writer, but I am learning to improve all my hubs, and I do check all of them to see if there are mistakes I've made. This improves my work.
Google isn't hard to understand but again, read the contract. The whole contract. Don't click on your own links. Don't get anyone else to do so either. Network with others on hub pages. Do the foundations for your hub. Believe in your hub and it will begin to produce some money.
Again read that contract if you haven't read it again. Go to the keywords tool on AdWords to helpyou with deciding any key words. Do your research. the more your write the more money it will produce. The most important thing, never write for only money. All the people on hub pages are intelligent and passionate and they will see right through anything. ( Including my bad editing!)
What's a Hub For?

Part of building your business is constantly learning how to improve it. The honest truth is that rules changes and a search engine which is powerful today might not be so powerful the next.
Building links is important and it is one way to work on getting and increasing traffic to all of your websites (which include hubpages) the hard part is that it really does mean being patient. A business is built with a long-term plan.
You have to decide to actually do the actions which make you the money that you want to make. You also need to be willing to change a plan if there are enough reasons for it. This is your business, and patience is required.
To your success.

excellent hub! Thanks for sharing all about the learning, writing and money.
GOOD ARTICLE KEEP IT UP
very true!... i'm not fond of reading but I love to learn. I'm new here in HP I follow a lot of hubbers just to check their hubs and if we have the same common interests. I write because I want to express myself and at the same time earn some money.
Thank you for the write up. I am new to hubs so I will keep the patience thing in mind.
Thank you, rorshak sobchak
Loved this hub!
Really good information. Thanks!
Thankyou for sharing your sound advice
Great hub. Thanks for sharing your tips and experiences with us!
Excellent hub Rebecca, you are so encouraging. Your hubs have helped me very much!
This is a great blog. You really know what you are talking about and I left with a lot of great tips. Thanks a lot.
I totally agree :)
The best thing I ever did was not to even look at my Adsense account until after my first payout (19 months after joining Hubpages). This way when I did get a payout it was a total surprise, and what I have realised since is my next payout only took 5 months, and I am on target for a third payout 2 months later. The first payout would seem to have taken forever if I had been checking Adsense daily, but instead I was enjoying the writing experience and making new Hubber friends.
Another great hub! I keep running across your hubs again and again and that is darn impressive considering that you have not really written that many (comparatively I mean.) Others keep recommending them...well done!
Rebecca, you have certainly been a great addition to HubPages.
Another good article and full of common sense.
i totally sound nerdy here, but i've been writting hubs for fun and not for the money mind you i'm 15 and i can earn it different ways so i guess i'm just nerdy like that :P
great article though! i enjoyed reading it :)
I'm on Hub Pages only 2 months and have not really been following the whole adwords thing, although I put in tags on my pages. But my rating is gone up to 88, so I am doing something right. Still haven't got any payment from it yet. I think the secret is to have a website and create links to it and backlinks. Thanks for your great advice here! I have learned more through HubPages than anywhere else!
Hi Rebecca! My hubs started generating revenue (despite having no problems with traffic) only after 5-6 months of signing up with HP. Although the revenue is nothing that I can boast of, yet, its good to see money trickling in daily. There is no instant success here. One thing I noticed...the kind of hubs one publishes plays a role in increasing adsense revenue. It works more for commercial / product information hubs. Thats what I learnt.
Excellent hub. I've noticed the same thing people wanting instant success. It was the first thing I had to break myself of. Instant gratification was something I used to get when posting fanfiction. I wrote my first hub with no clue to what I was doing and got nothing. Being the stubborn type I started reading and reading and reading and researching and researching and writing and writing and writing. I've made a few cents, but it's a start. Patience is the key.
Best of luck on your goal of 100 hubs by the end of the year. This hub was a good reminder that patience is a virtue not many of us have.
Thanks for the tips on ways to improve performance. I need to learn more about maximizing my adsense account. Still fumbling around on that part.
Thanks for another very helpful hub, Rebecca :)
You make very sound observations and helpful hints for us all.
Hard work is the name of the game.
Where's the beef LOL!!! I really do think Americans as a whole have been conditioned to expect instant results. The idea that it may take time and serious effort to make something work is just an alien concept to many. They see the success stories and want a piece of the pie, but what they don't see is the true key to success; Hours of work and months of waiting and more work. You made a great point here, now let's see if anyone is listening.
