Web 2.0 is dated. This blog is about writing for Web 2.Oh! Writers who write in the Web 2.Oh world know that now is when we can truly self-publish and make a living -- at sites like HubPages.
How do writers make a living without drudgery and query letters? Web 2.Oh writers know. I submit the best place is HubPages, and you may well find this blog carries a pro-HubPages.com slant. The reason is simple.
In addition to HubPages' ultra-cool staff, like one Ryan Hupfer, whose duties include cheerleading and helping "hubbers" enjoy the self-publishing experience at HubPages, the site is easy to use, and shares revenue on a straightforward 60/40-split basis.
All you need is your own Adsense code (which the site will help you acquire if you lack it), and 60% of the time the Google ads on your hubs are yours. The other 40% goes into HubPages' coffers -- they have to make money, after all.
Others may tell you that Squidoo or Helium are great places to write. I submit that HubPages is better -- because they are straightforward with what percentage you will make from your revenue streams.
Most other self-publishing sites use complicated, proprietary formulas. HubPages keeps it simple with a 60/40-split on Adsense (and they have other revenue streams to boot!) -- nothing too complicated about that!
At Web 2.Oh Writer, I will be exploring the best ways to write and make money online. We're not going to talk about things that are fly-by-night here, but I am keen to help you break free of your day job and full-on write for a living.
Web 2.Oh Writer -- smartly writing for money online.

ReplyDeleteWhen I thought of this challenge it actually made me think of you and how you're always wanted to test out the potential of HubPages, too.
Well, looks like you now have your chance (and so do I).
Be sure to keep us updated and thanks for calling me 'psycho'...haha. Awesome. :)
