You may have read that I had a great week of passive income while I was gone. I had written an article about List My Five which has generated lots of traffic and has led to increased followers both at HubPages and at this blog. The increase in traffic has also been responsible for an increase in AdSense earnings as well as my first double-digit earning day.
What I didn't know at the time that I wrote my first post is that during the same week I had my first two HubPages referral sign-ups. That is such wonderful news. One hasn't done anything on the site, but the other individual has written 11 Hubs already. I am hoping that he will end up like Ryan Kett and get lots of traffic which can only enhance my passive online income.
HubPages will place your AdSense code on 60% of the page impressions that people read and their code on 40% of the impressions. If anyone signs up under your referral code, then 10% of the time your ad code will appear next to their work. This comes out of HubPages cut so the split becomes new Hubber 60%, HubPages 30% and referrer 10%. Ideally, you will refer lots of people to write for HubPages, they will work hard and that 10% will end up making you a lot of extra money.
Anyway, I am hoping that is how it works out for me. It hasn't worked out all that well yet since I have had over 2000 clicks on my referral code and only 2 sign-ups. I had begun to think it wasn't working, but obviously it is. If you look over my blog you can see what kind of money I am able to make at HubPages writing part-time. If you really want to be aggressive in writing like Ryan Kett, you can make serious money.
So, if you are interested in writing for HubPages, be sure to sign up for HubPages using my referral link.
In the meantime, be sure to visit the profile of my most prolific referee, Romian1, and read several of his Hubs and make a comment or two.

Referrals are a wonderful way to make extra money, especially when they are prolific writers. I have a few on some of the sites I write for. I don't expect to get rich from referrals, though. I have 61 referrals on one site alone and yet only about 5 are active and actually earn money. Yet, a few extra dollars a week is better than none at all. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I figure that I can only count on about 10% of referrals to do anything worthwhile. That's about what you might expect from the population at large anyway. But, it would be nice if I got several more. Congrats on your 5 that make something.
