Hubbers Reveal Their Average HubPages AdSense Earnings

By Jason Seale

What Some Hubbers Say They Are Making at HubPages with AdSense

  • girly_girl09, with about 122 hubs, has had a month where $5.00 a day was a bit on the low side for her AdSense Earnings, and another where she has gone two weeks without breaking $5.00 a day; $0.0410/Hub/Day.
  • warchild75, with about 44 hubs, made about $9.45 on hiis best month, which breaks down to about $0.31 a day; $0.0070/Hub/Day.
  • luvintkandtj, with about 42 hubs, made about $32.00 in her first 8 months, which averages down to about $0.17 a day; $0.0040/Hub/Day.
  • curiozities, with about 19 hubs, says: "At the rate I'm going, I'll make my first million by the year 3258, give or take a decade or so". That breaks down to about $2.19 a day; $0.1153/Hub/Day.
  • dwilliamson, with about 403 hubs, made about $30.18 in two months, which equals approximately $0.50 a day; $0.0012/Hub/Day.
  • Marisa Wright, with about 74 hubs, made about $500.00 over a period of two years, which is $0.68 per day; $0.0093/Hub/Day.
  • badcompany99 (who has left hubpages), with about 46 hubs, made $16.00 over a period of two months, about $0.26 a day; $0.0058/Hub/Day

The average earnings per day per hub for the abobe 7 hubbers is $0.0262/Hub/Day. What does that mean in REAL money?

Let's assume you have 100 hubs, and it works out like this:

  • $2.62 per day;
  • $78.70 per month;
  • $957.55 per year;

Let's call it an even $1,000.00 per year for 100 hubs!

The more feedback we get from users, the more of an understanding we will all have of the potenial of HubPages. Please share your own story in the comments section below, whether you are new to HubPages or an old hand ...

We Don't All Make the Same Kind of Money

A Hubber with 20 hubs can make more money than a hubber with 100 hubs. There are many reasons for this, including but not limited to:

  • The amount of traffic, or hits, received by the hubs;
  • The "quality" of the traffic ... are they more or less likely to click on an ad or make a purchase?
  • Varying levels in the quality of writing ... are visitors compelled to continue reading or to follow through in a way that increases the chances of the hubber earning cash?
  • The "commercial value" of a hub. For example, are there high-paying AdSense ads available for the hub topic?
  • Effective use of the Amazon and eBay plugins, or of other affiliate links in the hubs;

AdSense Earnings Can Be "Seasonal"

Some hubbers notice that their Hubpages AdSense earnings "dip" quite dramatically at times. This can be due to a number of causes:

  • The number of people online varies from season to season and from day to day.
  • During the summer many people may be away from their computers, enjoying the good weather.
  • During holidays and other major events, they may also be away from their computers or, if they are at their computers, focussed on a topic of broad general interest, like an election or a catastrophe (or, God help us, a catastrophic election).

For more information visit Adsense Earnings Dip!! on the HubPages forum.

Slow and Steady Does It ...

One hubber (Marisa Wright) puts it best: "the income starts very slowly and improves over time, until eventually it snowballs". This seems to be a consensus among not only hubbers, but members of other communities, like Squidoo.

How Do YOUR Earnings Compare to the $1,000/Year for 100 Hubs Rule?

Good hub, Jason! Thanks for taking the time to crunch the numbers. Yep, unless you know what you're doing, the earnings are pretty dismal until you start figuring things out. I hope it does snowball in the future like they say

Good math! I'm averaging $10 a day from my hubs. Yes, you're right! We certainly don't make the same kind of money.

as per Google Adsense rules - is it ok to share your adsense earnings info in public?

Jason Seale profile image

Jason Seale Hub Author 2 years ago

There are a lot of very successful AdSense earners who will show screen shots of their AdSense earnings, with the day to day details blacked out, but the totals and the time period visible. It seems safe enough to talk about averages.

Interesting hub! Thanks for sharing. I'm still really new here, so I'm just starting to see the "snowball" effect. At this point, I can buy myself a cup of coffee with my earnings -- but it's a start.

Nice computation. I had 39 hubs last August and made $55.76 from adsense.

It looks to me that if you outsource hub creation, you can profit from hubpages. Let's say you hire someone to create a hub for you @ $3 to $5.

5000 hubs @ $3 each would only be $15,000. If you have the money to invest, hiring someone else to write hubs for you can be profitable.

You just have to know where to outsource and what topics to create hubs for.

Hello Jason,

I truly appreciate your breakdown and I also thank all of the honest people here commenting on your Hub.

I've been fixated learning how I can earn money with Adsense. It's not easy but each and every week my revenue increases.

The initial setup takes so much time and I have taken the time to increase my earnings each week.

A few months ago I simply got feed up trying to earn some real money with Adsense. A few months ago I was earning about a $1.00 per day. I continued to write Hubs, Blogs and create websites for free. Last month I saw a rise in my daily earnings. Now for the past month or so I have been earning $5.00+ per day. One day last month I almost hit $20. I was in static. So I continued to write and focus on learning Ad Placement of Adsense Ads AND learned a wonderful trick to find the highest paying keyword and the most searched for keywords. I'll tell ya, changing all of my Tags then submitting my URLs to Search Engines Skyrocketed my earnings.

My focus here at Hubpages is to continue to write and continue to grow. Take the time to view my profile and I feel you will find many helpful tips which I have learned from Hub members.

My lastest Hub is http://hubpages.com/hub/Adsense-Ad-Placement-Matte

Enjoy everyone who wants to learn how to earn some real money.

Thank you so much for this hub.....I have had 3 hubs on here for awhile now and was wondering if my adsense earnings were average or not. They are not as high as reported here but I see the error of my ways thanks to you and all the hubbers who shared......I need more hubs! Thanks for the wonderful content, I am now an educated follower!

It's my 18th day on HubPages. 21 hubs. R98.09 from Adsense on my hubs (about $13). My first week was way better than my second week, for some reason, but I'm just going to keep working at it. I wish I had the time to submit 20 quality hubs each and every day!

$0.274 per hub, per day average - all affiliates.

I have several accounts. :)

I appreciate the mention! I'm now curious where you got the figure from, because I'd love to know when I quoted it. I've been on HP for a month short of three years now, and my HubPages tally is now over $2,500. Which just goes to prove what I said about income snowballing.

Another way of saying snowball, would be to say a massive increase in overall traffic.. Traffic equals more money really and of course the right keyword focus. :)

Great statistic. After 18 hubs in 2 weeks, I earn ZERO. It does not look good. Jason you should ask people what niche are they in. I would like to know about their traffic per hub per month / day. Also how old is the hub

You mentioned that hubbers should write....

"Write about 5,000 hubs!"

ARE YOU KIDDING!!??

I had over 500 hubs but due to hubpages ever increasing and always changing rules and regulations, it was easier to delete them all instead of having to re-edit and re-send to hubpages and await THEIR approval which I am still continuing to do!! (That is to delete hubs with those contionus warnings!) CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH 5000 HUBS!!??

I have over 623 people who have signed up via my referall link with their 1220 hubs and yesterday my earnings totalled 30 pence and the day before that 26 pence...

It would take years and years and years before I would ever be compensated for this work! Compensation means being payed for the amount of hours I have invested here even if I was being payed at the lowest hourly rate!!

My advice is to write your own stuff on your own website or blog and YOU do what YOU want to do with Big Brother breathing down your neck changing terms and conditions-rules and regulations every month! Or get a real job which I do now which gaurantees me to be able to pay the bills and live!!

PS,,You have 2 comments boxes in this hub!

PPS,,I will not be commenting any further here as I have far more important things to do with my time which is the most precious thing in the world that can NEVER be replaced!!

Thank you so much for this. I have been writing for years. Writing as my job, my income? Still such a newbie, the internet has so changed over the years. Yipee!

Interesting hub. The averages vary, as not only the amount of hubs, but their age also affects earnings. It seems to take 2-6 months for hubs to settle and get decent steady traffic. However, this is then searched and targeted traffic that should result in more clicks.

Shared with follower, up and interesting.

I did a couple hubs back in Sept. of last year, started again in January of this year. I also started writing for other sources, too. I'm in the Apprenticeship Program right now (month 1 of 6).

To answer about HP program vs. Adsense: According to our mentors in the program, the HP program actually tends to be more profitable because of their own contract with Google Adsense allowing more links than we can use ourselves. By having the HP and Adsense, we have only one Adsense link on our pages. In other words, our Adsense clicks are credited to HP and passed along to us at a bit higher rate than if we used Adsense alone.

Very informative hub! At the moment I am just concentrating on writing, don't check my earnings too much. Still new here..... Like you said quality, not so much on quantity.

Thanks for sharing..

Cathleena Beams Level 4 Commenter 2 weeks ago

This is a valuable hub! I jumped over to the fayans profile for a few minutes to study what kind of hubs one writes to average $10 a day. Right in line with what I'd read somewhere else that the secret was to do hubs on product reviews. Makes sense. Anyway, I write here because I enjoy reading what others write much more than doing my own hubs.

noenhulk Level 1 Commenter 2 weeks ago

I was able to check my google earning first week of this month, May, I got $2 plus. It was the biggest in a week in my hubpages experience of 4 years, not so active anyway. haha! I guess you really need more quality hubs published like 200 hundred or more. It is not necessary to think of busting the 5000 or 1000 mark if there really is.

CJ I made 191 in January and 249 in February. I made about $100 last year from Kontera and $25 from Amazon. I used to make good money from eBay but the dropped me from their affiliate program because they said my traffic was poor.

    This is really interesting and informative Hub on Hubpages earnings. You have listed out some good points that should be considered, specially the section where you discussed "We Don't All Make the Same Kind of Money". And yes Adsense earnings varies and depends on many factors including Seasonal earnings" as listed above. Thanks for sharing!

    I am hoping I could too. One more thing beside being having great, informative, useful or interesting hubs is how much effort you spend sharing and promoting all your hubs. This hub is one insightful. Thumbs up!
