What is HubPages?

HubPages is a content sharing website and community where you can attach articles of specific topics to for free. It is a great way to gain free exposure to your opportunity and can also be used for the benefit of branding yourself and being seen as a leader and contributor. I have used HubPages in the past very successfully and have no doubt of its usefulness and value. So let's get started.

Head on over to www.HubPages.com and click Sign Up Now. Signing up to HubPages is easy and free, no email confirmation is required.

You should have a pre-written article ready to publish beforehand, if not you can come up with an article and save it as a draft to tweak it how you like before publishing. Keep in mind it's best to add YOUR OWN content to the site.

The major benefits of using HubPages are:

- It's 100% free to use.

- The advantage of search engine ranking. By using certain keywords you can get a high Google ranking thus receiving massive free exposure to your Hub.

- Creating links within your Hub. If your Hub gets indexed by Google the links of your choice within your Hub will also receive a good amount of traffic.

- It's another great resource for creating your presence on the internet.

- The affiliate ad sharing revenue. You can get paid using HubPages by interconnecting it with Google, Amazon, eBay, Kontera and Analytics. Whenever someone clicks on an ad through the Hub you created and revenue is generated, you keep a percentage of it. The current rate is %40, the rest goes to HubPages.

You can also attach photos and videos within your article which can be a huge advantage when done correctly. Find a few good photos and/or videos related to the content you're going to publish and attach them where you feel is best.

Suggestions for getting the most out of HubPages:

- Add a decent picture of yourself for personal branding. The more you brand yourself the more you will stand out amongst the crowd.

- Write good content. The major point is to add value or write something interesting in your perspective that will get people to read what you write.

- Publish YOUR OWN content. Sit down and write something out if you have to or explore other people's articles/posts and gain ideas on what to write as your own.

- Aim for a bare minimum of 250 words. The more useful information you can put on there the better it will be for everybody.

- Add links within your Hub that relate to the subject you're writing about.

- Use keywords in the search feature to find other authors, called Hubbers, with your same interests.

- Post a comment on other Hubs that you like. You can receive a lot of free exposure by doing this alone.

- Become fans of other authors that interest you.

- Use social bookmarking to gain even more traffic to your Hub, two popular sites are www.Digg.com and www.Propeller.com.

- Pick some good keywords and add them to the "Tags" section to the right of your Hub, pick keywords that are related to what you're writing about.

When you're all set and done check for spelling errors and then go ahead and Publish your Hub. And you don't have to stop there, you can create as many of these Hubs as you like for free. If you have followed all of the directions above you will have a great lead generating source for your opportunity and a position to be seen as a leader in your market.
