It’s been a long time I didn’t write about Make Money Online post. I found this YouthSays.com online advertising company offer publishers from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Philippines to make money by advertising. There are coming available countries like Cambodia, Myanmar, Singapore, Laos, Brunei and Thailand. Great news to blogger that they can have alternative make money online income source now. But how good is YouthSays.com?

YouthSays.com works like other online advertising company which offer Pay-Per-Click income. The earning is not as high as Nuffnang as I know. Most of their campaign offer their members RM0.20 per user click only and nuffnang has more opportunity like pay-per-impressions.

There are something unique about YouthSays.com which I just discovered. You can post the link to Facebook, Twitter, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Skype or Google Talk status and make a blog post about the campaign advertisement. The unlimited power of advertising would increase your earning faster and reach people easier. Make sure you follow the guidelines on YouthSays Guidelines to avoid misleading clicks.

Many people seems to confuse about passive income and earn income. Before I read “Retired Young” from Robert Kiyosaki, I hardly know the real meaning behind these two terms. Make Money Online from Blogging is not a passive income. It is an earned income. Why? It requires your effort and hard work in order to earn the income. Without working, your income is slightly to decrease overtime.

This does not same with passive income. Passive income should be an income that require less effort. Even without working for months, the income is always steady. Those income are usually comes from investments or assets. Although investments and assets do have risks and may be even will lost money when not planning and analyzing the impact and ROI in a proper way.

Total passive income can be calculated with almost 100% assumption monthly or yearly when you have more experience. But earned income like Adsense and Kontera is fluctuated and depends on latest trends, weather, occasion and so on. Income will be drop when your blog don’t have topic about latest trends searches. Example Michael Jackson, Windows 7, Golf, Stock…. Well, I hope I have all the popular topics in my blog also, if I am able to.

So, I think income that come from blogging like Adsense is semi-passive + earned income. You can still earn income when you are not writing. It is just that it will drop gradually in the long run when your reader had give up waiting for you to post something.

Introduction

hubpages.com is a free blogging tools for everyone. If you know what is Squidoo, you will know what is hubpages. While you can host your blog for free, you can earn revenue also when you are posting a topic in your hub. A hub is a topic indeed. hubpages works by sharing revenue among its hubber(blogger) who consistently write good quality contents in their page. There are many informative contents if you do a search on the website. Most of the quality and lengthy topics share by hubber.

You can write any topics you want and there are varieties of categories for your topic to be choose. What’s good about hubpages is that it is a CMS tool just like WordPress. But wordpress is more powerful and more controls than hubpages.com because there are limitation that hubber have to follow. Such as all the links inside the topics will be a “nofollow” attributes. hubpages don’t recommend hubber to link to other websites because this will decrease their link juice.

What’s so good about it?

Hubber can include their Adsense code into each of the post. Not only Adsense is supported, hubber also can add Kontera links to increase their earning. If both of these opportunities are not enough, there are still other like Amazon buying list, Ebay… Hubber can customize the position of Amazon code (Up, Bottom, In between paragraph)

Besides that, there are millions of posts sharing across your network. You can follow them and get updates of their latest posts. Random related posts will be display at the right panel of your post which means that your posts will have chances to appear in other hubber’s posts also!

Compare to a new blog with hubpages, starting new posts in hubpages seems to have more benefits since new blog need time to grow while hubpages is already have 5 years of services on blogosphere and millions of posts in the community. Google will surely recognize and crawl website effectively.

What’s more?

Recently, there is a feature call “Hubtivity” which appear at the right side on the homepage once hubber login into their account. It will show recent activity or achievement of hubber.

This is a cool feature for hubber to keep in touch with the recent event and achievement by others.

Each post’s quality is determine by a score call Hubscore. The score is determined by quality of your content, traffics sources, comments you have made, and how helpful you are in the community.

What’s bad then?

You have to share revenue you earn from Adsense, Kontera and so on with them. You can only get up to 60% of the revenue earn. This is the cost of using their free services and tools. But actually it may not seems so bad at all.

The post editing is very limited but user friendly. Hubber can click Up or Bottom to arrange the elements like (text, links, photo). There is no code script or manual code needed. But for professional coder or editor who wants to have special customize design find some limitation in there.

Conclusion

Blogger who want to look for other opportunities can give a try on hubpages. Below are two posts I have made in hubpages. Not much. It is too little to see any traffic yet but I will add more random posts in the meantime.

Make Money From Tweeting

Start from basic
Don’t try to do everything on the page at once such as putting poll widget, stat counter, adsense, rating widget and other cool widget. Wait until there were more posts and topics on the page then only consider adding new widget to improve the blog.

Do some research
Write posts with different types of categories. This will be easier for user to search for the keyword they wanted to see when they arrive at the site.

Consider the reason of blogging
What is your reason of blogging? Many people blog for fun and about their life experiences but most of the bloggers have some similar reason such as  ”make money online” or “gain popularity”. Everyone can have their own reasons like helping people figuring out what they want like problem-solving, giving guidelines and tutorials. As for making money online, they can think of giving motivations to other, giving views or opinions and have people pay attention to the idea. Take a look at those successful blog. They always have their own mission of goals and very clear-cut meaning of their posts.

Get out of box
Instead of worrying to get to top of search engines, you should be relax and follow the above steps. Search engine can easily find you once you have more niche contents and posts. Consider posting comment on other people’s blog or link to other people’s blog to tell others about your new blog.

Be patient and don’t give up
There were many people who always give up half way or lost in their way when they found out that they make so little out of nothing from blogging in early stage. Everything start from scratch is hard such as swimming, working, dancing, blogging and others. Who did all of these without going through all the difficult times they have? It is good they have it, then their experience will become the success story of their life. “Start growing your seeds now, nurture it and grow it until it become a wonderful trees.”
