How to Earn using Referral Links in Hub Articles

HubPages provides the vehicle for article writers to earn money from Google, eBay, amazon and other advertisers. Many have earned from a few dollars to thousands of dollars from the articles they have written. The more articles you have, the higher the potential for earnings because of more reader exposures. But writing articles really takes a lot of preparation and time consuming. One has to put in effort in research, composition, spelling and grammar check, and producing high quality pictures to accompany the hub. It may be simple to a few but tasking to many.

Fortunately, HupPages offers another way to increase your earning capacity aside from writing hubs. By simply referring published articles to your friends through email or social networking sites, HubPages pays you 10% of the ad impressions on those articles you referred. This pay out is not taken from the earnings of the article writer but from HubPages itself. This proves how good this company is.

How to Use the Referral Links

Before you can use the referral links, you have to be a member of HubPages. If you are not a member yet, Join Now to start earning money. Once a member, log in to your account and customize your settings. I suggest you write your first hub before using the referral links.

You need a referral tracker before you can start referring links. Actually one referral tracker is automatically created for you. But you can create several unique trackers so you would know from where your viewers or sign ups are coming from. To create a tracker click on your tab "my account" then click on the tab "Earnings" then the tab "Referral Trackers. Then follow the instructions on how to create your own tracker. You can visualize this on the picture below.
