So how much money have you made from this since you started?
Just a few bucks.
However, the reason why I submit to these sites more than anything is to get the benefits of link juice or SEO. Any money I make directly from these sites are just an added bonus.
Also, this list is provided as a way to help all the writers out there who are looking to make some extra cash.
Hubpages is great specially when you are just starting out to learn how to earn online. Hubpages is spidered frequently so you know that the pages you create will get found by the search engines soon enough. When writing a hub, concentrate on finding a profitable topic and don’t worry about promotion when you’re just starting. Soon you’ll see a trickle of earnings. The trickles will turn into real income if you just keep at it.
