Web Career Girl

I have finally started to publish my first pages at Hubpages. I am as yet unsure whether I will do the 100 hubs challenge in 30 days. This challenge has ended officially, but I still think it could be a great start for earning some passive income.

So far I have published 2 hubs – both around 450 words each. I also made a list of quite a lot of keywords for future hubs. Since the 100 hubs challenge, it is so easy to look around the net and find some great advice on writing hubs. I have read so much I can’t remember where I found it all (though the first thing I read was at the Niche Blogger) – I’ll post up links to useful blogs along my journey when I come across them.

My Hubbing Plan

My plan is to write hubs in niches that are not very competitive at all. I’m talking sites in Google listings that have page ranks of 2 or less – ideally the lowest possible and usually 1 or less. I am also not looking for hugely searched terms, though a couple of thousand searches a month would be good (by the way, I use the Google Adwords tool to research all this), just because I don’t want to have a lot of work on my hands getting traffic.

My plan is to write around 5-10 hubs each for different niches. Ideally, these niches will have high cost per click in Adsense so I can earn a fair bit without spending hours building backlinks or relying on highly competitive, well-searched keywords.

I may also try writing hubs related to my niche blogs, but you have to be careful with Hubpages to use links carefully within their ‘promotional’ guidelines.

I’ll let you know whether I decide to go ahead with the challenge or not. Luckily the Adsense error that was preventing me from linking my account to Hubpages is now fixed, so if I see any earnings I’ll let you know. I don’t expect to see earnings until I’ve got a good number of hubs set up.
