HubPages Writing Update
On my most recent day of writing on HubPages, I wrote and finished two hubs in one day, a much needed boost to my lagging numbers in the 30 Day Hub Challenge. I went for the tamer 30 Hubs in 30 days instead of the wild 100 Hubs in 3 days mostly because there's a lot going on right now for me: including moving across the country, doing the extra freelance work on Guru.com to fund it, and trying to really start my own personal AdSense and eHow challenges, so even 30 in 30 seemed like a test, but that's what challenges are for, aren't they?This time I wrote two hubs, which you can visit here, if you so desire:
How to Brawl in Self Defense
Double Air Mattresses
The hub about brawling was based on a request asked by the HubPages website, and admittedly was one of the most interesting requests I've seen. In researching what Google has ads for, there's not much for brawling, but there is for self defense, so I put a lot of brawling as self defense in that page.
The double air mattress is a product review hub. One thing I have learned from both HubPages and Squidoo: if you're going for affiliate sales and money, product review hubs are definitely the way to go. It's also a numbers game, but 100 review hubs or lenses getting traffic will get a lot of affiliate sales. 100 hubs or lenses on other interesting topics will get some sales, but more readers, and not make as much money. That's just what my testing has shown over and over again.
So those two hubs made #7 and #8 out of 30, with 16 days to go including today...so move or not, I'd better get moving on this challenge!
The other good news I have noticed: I've kept at my goals of online passive income on and off (mostly off, I admit) for a little over a year now, and there's no question that the AdSense and affiliate sales for me are doing better than ever. The affiliate sales are jumping by leaps and bounds, while the AdSense is still going up by at least 33% this month, after five straight months of gains.
So I'm going to keep at it, and if you haven't started your own online writing quest, the best advice I can give is to get started now, because time is a huge factor in getting that online income so the sooner you get moving, the sooner you'll start seeing some results.
