Hub Authors Go Freelance

There are so many great writers on Hubpages, Who write fantastic articles on so many topics in so many different writing styles, and that got me to thinking about a different way to gain exposure and help them to make a little extra money in the process. it started off with a forum post and it has grown into 3 hubs and more if needs be.
Freelance Writers Wanted
open only authors who have published on hubpages, I have created a directory of Hubbers who want to try their hands at writing articles for other people.

After the initial question who would like to take part? I wrote a hub Writers For Hire and included  some top quality writers from hubpages.

The demand to join the directory has been so good that I have had to publish a second hub More Writers For Hire  to help cope with the demand, at the rate it is going I may have to add a few more pages in the near future.

Becoming a hubpages Author or Hubber for short is easy and as advertised only takes a minute to complete the online form. before you write your first Hub or article on Hubpages you should check out your account settings and set up your Affilliate settings because if you don’t you will not earn any money from your hub.

When you have completed the affiliate sign up process for Google Adsense, Ebay, Kontera and Amazon, you are then ready to publish your first Hub and begin your journey into your new Writing Hobby.

Hubpages How to Earn With Amazon and Ebay

For 2 years I have been writing on hubpages and my earnings from Ebay and Amazon have been to say the least disapointing, a couple of dollars here a couple of cents there and some months I wouldn’t earn a single cent, my highest payout from either source of revenue was around $5.00 in a single month.

For the past couple of months I have been experimenting on my new hubs to try and increase my earnings from Ebay and Amazon and I am pleased to say that I have seen a significant increase in my earnings from both.

The first month I made record sales on Ebay for my account with a grand total of $7.32 and on Amazon I made $6.89

The Second month I again increased my sales making $12.29 from Ebay and $9.47 from Amazon

October has smashed those records yet again as my Ebay earnings rose to $24.00 exactly and Amazon totaly surprised me by raking in $27.37.

If my earnings keep growing at this rate I could soon be earning $100 a month from both Ebay and Amazon top that off with around $35.00 a month from Kontera ads and the $150.00 I earn on average from Google, I could soon be earning around $400.00 every month. not too shabby for a hobby that I love and would be more than willing to do for no money at all.

Whats the secret?

The key to my increased earnings, I try to find the latest hot products on the market, through reading magazines, newspapers and even on the Internet I write a review of that hot product and then I search ebay and Amazon to find good prices on that same product and add the relevant ones to my pages, products are classed as hot because people are buying them and more people want to get their hands on them.

This Hub made $22.00 from one sale on Amazon, 2 days after I published it hopefully there will be a few more sales coming in from it, it has only been published for around a week.

Give it a go yourself, Hubpages is a free website where you can write about almost anything and get paid for your efforts, you get a 60% share of the advertising Revenue and hubpages get the other 40%

Sign up here it’s totally free, If you sign up using my link I will get 10% of the revenue from your advertising but it comes out of the Hubpages share leaving them with 30% me with 10% and you still get the 60% that you earn from your writing.
