A Top Hubbers Top 10 Tips on Writing for HubPages

Yes, HubPages does work!

I write for HubPages. After flailing about for several months, I decided to pay attention, follow guidelines, and attempt to actually earn some money. And it's working! I am often featured on page 1 of HubPages and have had, for a short time, the #1 article on HubPages - that's best of 500,000 articles, thank you.

HubPages works for you if you work for HubPages. Just like your grandfather told you, there is no such thing as a get-rich-quick scheme. Making money by writing articles (called hubs) on HubPages take patience and some effort. Here are a few tips if you want HubPages to work for you:

1) Read tips presented by people who are successful on HubPages - that is hubbers in the over 90% score range. Do what they suggest.

2) Read top rated articles on HubPages. Ask yourself what makes this a high quality article.

3) Write high quality articles of at least 250 or more words. 500 is better. Write well. Be unique. Never copy someone else's work. Spell check.

4) Use a title for your article that completely describes your topic. Be specific. Be wordy. Target your intended readership.

5) Present information in an easy to read, organized fashion.

6) Feature an image beside your second text capsule. When published, Google ads will appear to the right of your first text capsule. These are usually the ads that people click.

7) Sign up for Google Adsense and some of the affiliates HubPages offers - Amazon, EBay, and Kontera. I make most of my money through Google Adsense clicks. I must admit I never bothered with EBay or Kontera. Remember, thought, that HubPages gets a percentage of your ad click income.

8)Build some links. Sign up for Facebook, Twitter, ezines articles, shetoldme, Stumbleupon and other link building sites. An article with high quality links will increase traffic to your page. Just having high quality links will improve your statue in the search engines.

9)Establish a niche. Become an expert in your field. Write high quality content on a topic that interests you.

10) Read and comment on other people's hubs (articles) and become a part of the HubPages community. Offer and receive support from some very nice people.

See you on HubPages!
