In the past I've wrote some reviews
and articles about both Blogger and Hubpages. I wanted to update this
continuing review with new developments.
The insight I've gained of late is a
little different, in that I haven't been very active for the last few
months on either platform. This has allowed me to see how they do
without consistent content being added. Specifically, I've written 12
blog articles and 2 hubs in the last three months.
HubPages has been getting
less views lately, I've noticed that since Squidoo has came over the
views have went down by at least half. This before I even became less
active. Strangely, I actually had the best month on HubPages two
months ago because I was given money from Amazon Affiliates from
products I don't even recall selling on my hubs. This amount makes
the amount made in the last three months better than it really should
have been without this apparent mistake.
In particular in the last three
months, these are the stats:
Blogs (three blogs total):
Views (Adsense): 2679
T:$4.07
T: .0015/view
HubPages:
Views: 1920
T:$7.32*
T: .0038/view
*Now, this is the Hubpages amount
after the likely mistaken $6.06 I made through Amazon Associates was
taken out.
These numbers do favor Hubpages as the
better earning site, yes, but the last couple months have been much
lower than usual. Basically without writing any hubs, I've made less
than a $1.50/month with 37 featured hubs. So, basically the numbers
for the last two months are actually very similar.
If you've read my other articles about
these two platforms, you'll see why I chose my blogs over Hubpages as
my writing center (articles below). This is becoming more and more the right decision
for many different reasons. One of those reason was Hubpages censored
one of my hubs about satanism being a criminal belief.
When a person comes to my blog, they
can connect with many different platforms I contribute to. There are
links there for all my eBooks, social sites, Reverbnation, Ebay and
Amazon stores, YouTube channel, and more. When a person goes to one
of my hubs they can't easily access any of these things.
I'm not going to stop writing for
Hubpages, because it is a quality popular site to use to promote my
different projects. Yet, I'm going away from making it the number one
place for product reviews. Rather, I'm going to make one of my blogs
the main place for product reviews. It just makes more sense, and the
amount I can make through Adsense, although not much, is something I
can calculate and work with.
Some people may like Hubpages better,
but for those who like to be creative and personalize their website,
then blogs are a much better way to reach the audience you want.
Another great aspect is you can have people subscribe through email
and different readers. This way you will start building a unique
audience that is loyal to your work.
I have a good feeling my three blogs
at Blogger are going to grow and begin to gain a good sized audience
in the near future. When I get into a better writing routine and
start being consistent with posting, they should exceed Hubpages in
earnings and help gain attention to the other money making strategies I'm using to
make money on-line.
I just thought this might be
interesting to some people who are thinking about writing for
Hubpages and have a blog. They are both good places to write and be
heard, and they both have the potential to make money. Choosing which
one you want to make the center of your writing system, depends on
your overall goals. Check out some of the articles below to gain
further insights.
