How much money can I make on HubPages?

HubPages is an open community of passionate people—writers, explorers, knowledge seekers, conversation starters. Interacting and informing. Sharing words, pictures and videos. Asking questions. Finding answers. It’s a rich and rewarding experience with a unique set of tools and resources to help Hubbers find and build an audience, easily create articles, and earn all sorts of rewards, from accolades to ad revenue. Over 36 million people explore HubPages every month.

There are revenue generating opportunities with HubPages, but we are careful not to over-promise any results.That said, those who approach Hubbing with diligence, patience, and attention to writing high-quality Hubs on what people are searching for can earn a steady side-income through HubPages. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it takes time to gain the readership that leads to significant earnings. Many Hubbers are earning hundreds of dollars, if not more, every month; continuously publishing high quality Hubs has been the key to their success.

On HubPages you earn money through online advertising (Google AdSense and the HubPages Ad Program) and/or affiliate referrals (displayed in the form of Amazon and eBay Capsules). Every time someone views one of your Hubs, we display ads and/or affiliate products. 60% of the time, these ads and products can generate revenue for you, and 40% of the time, they can generate revenue for HubPages. We make it easy for you to sign up for all of these!

You can set up an AdSense account with Google through a simple form. Once you hit their minimum payout, you will get paid directly by Google.

eBay and Amazon products are optionally featured in your Hubs through Capsules—you decide which products to highlight. However, Google AdSense and the Ad Program automatically display ads in your Hub—no Capsules are needed.

In order to participate in the Ad, eBay and Amazon Programs, you must activate the HubPages Earnings Program. The HubPages Earnings Program provides a way for HubPages to pay you directly for the Ad, eBay and Amazon Program earnings, and other things like contest prize winnings. Once you hit the minimum earnings ($50) in the HubPages Earnings Program, you will get paid by HubPages directly.

You can set up an Amazon Affiliate account by following the instructions in the Learning Center guide. For these earnings, you will get paid directly by Amazon.
