Yes you can, if you study the tutorials, pay attention to how others have set up their hubs, set up as many links as possible, and be patient. Really patient! Hub Pages is not a get rich quick business.
Most the folks that are making it with Hub Pages have been with HP''s for a couple years or more and have written several hundred Hubs. So, be patient, write good quality Hubs, and do your homework. You'll be fine with time.
