Making Money with Hub Pages

Hubpages is a great place to make money. I have been using them for over a year and here is what I have learned.

Adsense: Don't put a picture in the 1st capsule, let adsense be there. I had a photo in every 1st capsule and was making decent money, BUT once I removed that picture and moved it under my 1st block of text my adsense has increased. So your 1st block of text, also called a capsule should be about 500 words, and adsense will fit nicely in there. You still want to write great content so that people will come to your hubpages.

Ebay: I have made quite a few sales on EBay from Hubpages. Choose products that are related to your article and they will sell.

Clickbank - writing reviews for clickbank isn't recommended, but you can write an article and add your link to clickbanks and increase your sales at clickbank.

Amazon: I have Amazon listed on every page. Not one sale. I don't know if more people rather shop at Ebay than Amazon but so far no one has bought anything.

New Design

I changed the design for the blog. I'm not so sure I like it now since it's up and running. I may change it yet again. The other one was just too crowded, and hard to read.

New Blog for Niche Sites

I decided to make a blog detailing my journey making niche sites. I have some of the niche sites that I have done so far listed on the new site, as well as the steps and links that I use to research each topic.

The site can be found here.. http://nichesiteresults.blogspot.com/

So far I am averaging $1 a day with adsense and I made my 1st .31 cent sale on ebay from one of my niche sites. WOO HOO!! Coffee for everyone! lol (just kidding)

I am learning more shortcuts to make these sites better and faster, this weekend I have worked hard on another site that will be ready to go up next weekend.

I am still debating on if bigger sites with more pages is better than smaller tighter niche sites. Right now I am going with the small and quick sites, because they're easiest while I am still learning. Each site is about 10 pages. So it's really not that small of a site.

So check out my new blog and see how I am doing on my journey.

Working hard on niche sites

I have been making niche sites lately. Right now I have 4 online and getting more and more every week. I download the template from www.oswd.org and build from there. It takes about 10-12 hours to build one.

One site that I had done was indexed within a week, and I made my first sale for ebay yesterday. Not bad considering its been online for about 11 days. I haven't really advertised it, people are finding it from Google search.

I put ebay listings on them and adsense. Sometimes I will add products from clickbank if I can find something relevant.

Its slow going for niche sites, but they are getting easier and quicker to do. I find a topic that I want to do, then do some research, find about 10 keywords, I then write an article for each keyword then make that its own page. The articles contain keywords and the title does too. After I get the website laid out and articles done, I'm fished with it. Then I head off to godaddy to buy my site. I upload and I'm finished.

I think that I may be able to make more money online with niches than doing anything else. Keyword research is the hardest but the most crucial part of the niche sites. I will start advertising the sites soon, right now I was just waiting to see what happens with them on their own. They are getting traffic but I do believe that I will be able to get more.
