HubPages: Great for Online, Residual IncomeHubPages is a social community writing site that will allow you to write anything, either personal or business related. It doesn't cost anything to sign up, nor does it cost anything to write articles. In fact, it is a money making resource for residual income.There are several ways to make money on this site. You can sign up with Google Adsense or Kontera, which display ads around your published articles. Whenever someone clicks an ad, you will make money. Each click doesn't make you much, but a popular article has the potential to make a lot.  Another way to monetize whatever you publish is by signing up with Amazon. You can choose exactly what items to advertise from thousands in their inventory, either by choosing popular keywords, picking individual products, or allowing Amazon to choose what's best. One more way to make money on here is with eBay. After signing up, you can choose items that relate to your topic that are being auctioned in the next seven days. With either eBay or Amazon, you can choose how many items to display, up to a total of five. A big draw with HubPages is it's social community atmosphere, where writers can leave comments on articles written by other Hubber, as writers there are called. A wide latitude of topics to write about allows writers to cover deeply personal, controversial, and political issues. This can trigger over a hundred comments on an article, continuing over several months. There is a ranking system, which changes daily. Both an overall rank number for each writer, plus a rank number for each article by that writer. More comments means more topic popularity which results in a higher rank. The earning potential of each article is also ranked. A one $ sign is the least and a five $ sign is the highest. The amount of daily, weekly, and monthly viewers is displayed, showing where they came from, either from within HubPages or the search engines. You can write as many Hubs as you like; the more you write, the more earning potential. This is a great resource for those with a desire to make money online. Sites like HubPages and Squidoo are also a way to learn about search engine optimization (which isn't nearly as difficult as it sounds). Once you have learned a little about SEO, you will be way ahead of most who try to make money online. It is the key that unlocks the door to making real money with your own website, which should be your ultimate online money making goal. Hubs linking back to your blogs and websites not only direct traffic to those places, they give them authority with the search engines. The more authority, the higher your webpages climb up the pages of a Google, Yahoo, or Bing search. That is where the money is on the web, but you will never be sorry that you have your Hubs.
