How to Make People Read your Hubs

Hubpages grants tons of opportunity for it's members to make money. The only problem is that, many Hub makers make much less money than they would have hoped. Why is it that some fail to earn while others make hundreds of dollars a week? The answer is simple: Traffic. Your pay is based on your ability to attract readers. There are many ways to attract readers and this article will explore just a few of them.

The first and easiest step to gaining traffic which many people is is getting your friends and family to read your hubs! This could be done in many ways. Hubpages offers a service where you can email any list of people with an in invitation to become a fan of your profile. Also, never underestimate social networking sites. Most people have about 300-400 friends on Facebook and many have more. If you have 400 friends and only 10% become fans, you already have the very nice following of 40 fans which will being to grow ever time.

Also, throw a link to your profile (or individual hub if it is more relevant) onto wherever you can! Do you have a Youtube account or a Blogger account? In the description for all your videos or at the end of each blog post, include a link to your Hubpages. Don't hesitate to throw around your link on forums either. If you are a member of any that have a general chat or internet-related chat section, then make a topic about hubpages with a link to your profile! Also include a link in your signature. Just make sure you don't break the forum rules.

Getting people to open your hub isn't that hard. It is getting people to stay and return that can prove challenging. Write interesting hubs about interesting things for your readers. Unless you are very clever and witty, nobody would want to read you going on a rant about nothing. Write informative articles about whatever you want. Also, ask your readers to become fans or bookmark your page to make sure they come back again. 20 visits from 1 visitor carries the same weight as 1 visit from each of 20 visitors. Turning your readers into return readers is absolutely essential.

These few simple tips can help your hub rise from almost nothing into a profitable asset. Now I should take my own advice: Make sure you become my fan if you want more help on drawing traffic and feel free to post whatever you want in the comments section. If you are too lazy to become a fan you can always just bookmark this page and come back to it whenever you want! Good luck hubpaging!
