You Really Can Make
Money On HubPages!
Today I reached my biggest
goal to date on HubPages:
I reached my first $100
Google Adsense payout!
This put me in a reflective
mood, so I decided to take
a look back and see just
how I managed to
accomplish this task.
Just what did I "do right"
to hit that mark?
Was it great backlinking?
Masterful SEO? Brilliant
writing skills? Dumb luck?
I hit the $100 Google
Adsense threshold exactly 5
months and 5 days after
publishing my first hub,
and I ’ve been using Google
Analytics from day one, so
it should be pretty easy to
figure out what works and
what doesn ’t.
It wasn’t until 2 months
into Hubbing that I realized
that I could tie my Google
Adsense account to my
Analytics account, so there
is no Analytics earnings
data for the early part of
my HubPages experience. I
do have the Adsense “raw”
data going all the way back
to the beginning, so I can
at least find out how I
earned money over those
five months, right?
Turns out it wasn’t that
easy to figure it out...

$100 - Woohoo!!
The First 3 Months
For my first three months
on HubPages
, here are my stats:
50 Hubs
9,800 Page Views
$30 in AdSense Earnings
My Stats, Month 3
Month 4
Around month four, I
participated in a “60 Day
Challenge” - it was an
unofficial HubPages
challenge devised by
Sunforged.
The general idea was to
gather a group of Hubbers
to write 30 hubs in 30 days,
and then to spend the next
30 days promoting those
hubs. There was a lot for
me to learn, and the
participants ranged from
newbies to established
Hubbers. I felt I was
somewhere in the middle
ground - kind of new, but
kind of knowledgeable and
pretty successful given my
limited amount of
experience. Six months
prior, I had never even
heard of the term “SEO”!
Together, we all learned
and shared knowledge, and
by the end of the 60 days,
these were my stats:
75 Hubs
18,000 Page Views
$60 In AdSense Earnings
