RPM for HubPages: My Experience
Pennies rolling in for 9 years equals…
HubPages is a premier revenue-sharing writing site that’s been around since 2006 — six years before Medium launched.
I’ve been writing on HubPages for nine years, since 2014. In that time, I’ve written around 50 articles total. As of now, I have 28 published articles — I’ve deleted 12 of them, either moving them elsewhere or assigning them to the online rubbish heap.
Saying I wrote there for 9 years is inaccurate because most of this time I completely ignored the site in favor of my blogs. In actuality, I focused on the site for around a year and a half.
With my background there established, I want to share my findings on how much writers can expect to earn at HP; specifically, the revenue per thousand views (RPM). They pay through PayPal by the way.
RPM for HubPages
Writers for HP used to be required to have their own AdSense account to share in the AdSense revenue from the site. Now, writers don’t have to have their own AdSense-approved account, they can simply sign up and start earning from their articles through the HubPages’ Ad Program, as well as through their Amazon Program earnings.
This is a welcome change considering how difficult it can be to get approved for AdSense.
