I believe this changed a few months ago. I think HP changed something ... anyway, I now make more on HP than I do with Adsense.
I have shifted my focus to writing quality hubs, not blog posts or YT videos.
I earn more with adsense. I turned the hubpages ad program off.
So far I am using both but I am highly contemplating switching over to straight adsense. I make over the threshold for adsense anyway each month between my websites and hubs and other things. It seems to me the Hubpages ad program is not generating enough yet to be truly worth it for me.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
