Topic or subject matter is the biggest thing that's going to effect earnings, followed by how you write about that topic. If you have 100 Hubs but have not even earned a dollar, then you have quantity but not quality. A lot of people who don't earn well write about high-traffic but low-or-no-pay topics, or they don't have a genuine idea of what constitutes a good amount of traffic.
Hub metrics are rough indications of potential, but nothing more. I have a whole series of Hubs that I wrote based on my experiences. By the time I had been with HubPages for nine months, I only had 35 Hubs but was making $100 per month.
All I can suggest is to read over what I wrote and see if any of it helps you. Below is the Hub that starts the series. hubpages.com/hub/Hubpages-help-information.
Join the club of confusion. This is what I understand, the hubber is given a score based a set of factors like the number of hubs,his/her background,and and the hubtivity wchih reflects I guess the followers and participation in hub pages interactive fora. The score for the hub seems start generally at fifty and may be little up or down based on the subject and its pereived importance.
The page views reflect the number of times a page has been opened (not read). Making money would depend I guess on the viewer actually clicking on an advertisement on your page and buying (?). That revenue is sahred between you and hub pages.
I find the hubber scores and hub score goes up and down every day at different times based on the traffic that is coming in to your hubs. It is the rate that seems to matter not the absolute score. Your older hubs may have huge score but that does not seem to influence up and down movement.My personal opinion is that the scores seems to have a fixed maximum point for a specific hubber for a period,.
And therefore don't seem to go beyond that point, may be until a lot of hubs are produced. This could be wrong The number of followers and comments are also important. I don't see the hubber score reflecting the hub quality in all cases.
We have to assume(since we cant see them) that these hubs have good traffic. Quantity seems to matter that is all, no matter what the subject is.
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.
