Okay, I finally got around to creating my first Hub over at Hub Pages.
For anyone who missed my first post on it, Hub Pages, Giving Squidoo A Run For Their Money?, Hub Pages is a Squidoo like site that allows you to easily create single web pages focused on a topic. Unlike Squidoo, which uses arcane profit sharing calculations, Hub Pages just uses your Adsense, Amazon, and Ebay ids when displaying a certain percentage of the ads. So you know exactly how many impressions and clicks you’re getting.
My first hub is called How To Achieve Internet Marketing Success. It was intended as an expanded version of my post, How To Succeed In Internet Marketing, but ended up getting way too long.
So what I finally did was make the hub more of a motivation and intro for what will eventually be a large number of more detailed hubs on various Internet Marketing topics (as if I need more places to create content!) Assuming, of course, that it looks like Hub Pages is a good place to continue to create content.
Oh, and I know that it would have been a nice idea to create a hub that was on the same topic as one of my Squidoo lenses, to compare the results from both, but I couldn’t quite make myself write a hub on a topic that I’d already covered. So that experiment will have to wait until I’m feeling in the mood to repeat myself.
I’ll report back in coming months on the earnings from this hub.
Hey, good luck with your new Hub. I have heard a lot of great things about them but haven’t gotten around to actually putting one together just yet. I love Squidoo and have done some wonderful things over there, but who knows I may be right behind you.
Thanks, Matt! I’m a big Squidoo fan, too, but the whole mystery about how commissions are figured isn’t a great thing. If Squidoo went more transparent, like Hub Pages, that’d be perfect.
I would be interested in seeing the results of a good comparison between the two. I’ve used hubpages and have signed up with Squidoo…
There are so many things to do, work is taking a lot of my time lately. Looking forward to follow ups.
