Freelance Writing on HubPages Update

2 More Hubs on HubPages

Well June has been a quasi-bust, although there's not a lot I can control as far as health problems, family matters, and personal issues, but I've still gotten some writing in despite all of those things and am really looking forward to what the rest of the summer can bring as things really settle out and I can really concentrate on my writing and my work. I'm also going to have a post soon talking about the results Courtney Tuttle posted about his HubPages Challenge and what this information means for the rest of us who are writing online for HubPages, or even thinking about it.

That, however, is going to be a very long post and for right now I just want to bring a short update. I am still writing on HubPages, and am more convinced than ever of its viability as a passive or residual income source. Despite only publishing about 13 hubs the past two months, those and older hubs have made up for $15-20 a month in AdSense earnings that I lost from a blog being de-indexed by Google. Not only did they make this up, but my earnings are still increasing every month, so even without marketing, my writing for HubPages has really picked up the slack.

Going beyond this, my eBay and Amazon affiliate sales are also continuing to rise each and every month, so there's good reason to believe if I can hit my goal of over 200 hubs by the end of summer that with a little marketing I'll be in a position to make some pretty good passive income, and with the recession right now, I can use the extra income to pick up the slack from a really hard/stagnant freelance writing market right now.

Anyway, the two new hubs I've had since my last update are:

Shag Area Rugs

Garden Plaques

These are based on some keyword research, and later they'll also be used to hopefully provide a boost to some other larger websites I'm hoping to roll out. We'll see how they do once the initial burst of traffic wears off.

Anyway, keep on writing and thanks for reading this update!
