How To Produce Money By Writing On The Web

People who are experienced with online marketing know that it can be a great revenue source if you work hard. It also helps if you can also incorporate something you feel excited about. For me, that means I use my experience with writing to make money.

One of the methods I use to make money with my writing is actually pretty simple, once you get the hang of it. I make a living by writing on HubPages. In case you do not know what that is, HubPages is a group blogging site that lets you generate income from content. Every HubPages page (appropriately called a “hub”) has the potential to garner as many as five types of revenue: Google AdSense ads, Kontera ads, eBay links, Amazon links and links to just about any affiliate program. As the content’s creator, the revenue from 60 percent of the page views that generate income goes to you. The other forty percent goes to HubPages. The only exceptions to this rule are your chosen affiliate programs, because 100 percent of the income generated from affiliate links belongs to authors. It takes a while to learn how to create good, money-making hubs but the revenue potential makes it worth it.

One of the main affiliate programs I use on my hubs is TweetAdder, which is Twitter software. It had been quite unfashionable in the Internet marketing inner circle to use Twitter, but I suspect that will soon change because of in the way Google sees Twitter. Twitter tweets are indexed now by Google, which causes them to appear in the search engine results pages, or SERPs. They’re subject to being fresh, but they can help you get a hot topic ranked in Google very quickly if you have a history of lots of activity on your Twitter page. Also very significant is Google’s new opt-in social media program: if you list all your social networking connections and your hubs, blogs and web sites, your links will be shown at the bottom of page one of Google’s search results when anyone in your social network searches for a keyword present on your blogs and sites. It is still a new program, but it could potentially make online social networking a legitimate form of traffic generation.

I optimize these Google gifts by using TweetAdder to post tweets to Twitter all day long. This enhanced posting activity has caused my Twitter page to become a PR5 in just several months. To seed the TweetAdder software with tweets, I just upload a text document with hundreds of 160-character or less posts that have bit.ly links to my pages. The software then posts them at whatever rate I set it at. It also helps me bring in more Twitter followers, if I choose to add more, and handle other Twitter aspects, such as sending direct messages to new followers, unfollowing followers and other essential tasks. I really like TweetAdder, because not only does it help me maintain an active account on Twitter with only a few moments of effort each day, but it also brings in affiliate earnings whenever someone clicks through from my TweetAdder review and purchases it. It is great when you can generate income off of an item you use and like.
