HubPages for New Writers

HubPages for New Writers

HubPages is a site that allows writers of all skill levels to publish their own original content online and be paid for it. HubPages operates on a revenue-sharing system that pays writers based on the number of views their content receives.
New Writers
While HubPages welcomes all writers, no matter their skill level, it is especially helpful to new writers looking to break into the freelancing field because it allows new writers to show off their writing without being limited to one niche. Unlike blogs where writers need to limit themselves to one main topic in order to generate interest, HubPages is set up so that writers write hubs (i.e. articles). These hubs can be on any topic the writer desires as they are organized on the site by the subject.
Portfolio
For those looking to break into freelancing, HubPages can act as a portfolio for potential clients as it allows writers to show off their writing skills in multiple subject areas. Since the content is published on HubPages, it also proves that the content was not plagiarized as HubPages will only allow writers to publish 100% original content.
Passive Income
Those who write on HubPages should not expect to be able to make enough to give up their main career, but it certainly makes for a nice passive income. The site automatically cashes their writers out when the writer has accumulated $60 in their account. Most new writers will need to write at least ten to twenty hubs before they can enter and be approved for the ad programs, which allow for earning. However, once approved, the writer simply needs to keep writing as the more you publish the more you make. For example, a writer that publishes two to three articles a week can expect to make around $100 a month, depending on how highly viewed the content is.
Obtaining Freelance Jobs
One aspect of HubPages that many people do not know is that a well-written profile can be used to attract freelance writing clients. In order to get clients, the first thing a writer needs to do is to make sure their profile is set to allow people to message them. The next step is writing a profile that will attract clients; the profile should include information about the writer’s life experience, areas of knowledge, and most importantly, the fact that they are open to receiving freelance job offers. Many HubPages writers receive messages asking the writer to feature their book or product in an article on HubPages, and all the writer then needs to do is negotiate their price. Now not all HubPages writers get paid in money; instead some negotiate only for the book, product, or service that the client is advertising, while others will only work for hard cash.
The only limit on how much a HubPages writer can do or make is in the amount of time and/or effort that the writer is willing to put in! It could be very well worth it.
