Okay, so not as aggressive as last month’s 100 Article eHow Challenge, I have completed my first week of the current 30 HubPage – 20 eHow Article Challenge. I had briefly considered shooting for another 75 – 100 articles on eHow, but decided to branch out and diversify. I have wanted to start publishing articles on HubPages for a while now as a new opportunity to build a few new passive income streams. Starting this new challenge is one way to motivate myself to begin using this site.
I have read posts on other blogs noting the income they have earned through HubPages. My intentions for publishing these articles is not to earn direct income through the site, but to test out various keywords that can eventually be turned into niche sites that I own. The ultimate goal is to eventually move all of my online writing income streams to sites that I own and control as a way to minimize my exposure.
Week #1 Updates
The shortened first week was a bit slow as I am learning how to write, edit, and publish good articles on HubPages. I also have felt a little unmotivated to start writing again for eHow, which is why I only wrote one article this past week.
Here are my results from September 1, 2009 – September 4, 2009 -
HubPage Articles
- Published Articles – 3
- Article Views – 35
eHow Articles Published
- Week #1 – 1
- Total – 1
eHow Total Views & Earnings
- Article Views – 11
- Income Earned – $.83
Keyword Research
Besides learning about HubPages and writing a few articles, I decided to invest some time identifying keywords that I can use to build Hubs and write eHow articles. I have started using the Micro Niche Finder Keyword Software tool as a way to identify some niche topics that I can capitalize on.
In just a few short weeks that I started using this tool, I have identified several keyword phrases that I plan to use in eHow and HubPages articles that I write. This will help me to accelerate my earnings and reduce the amount of time and research that I spend publishing online content. Keep in mind that while the Micro Niche Finder product can help me save time, I still need to work hard and think smart to build a successful passive income stream.

I look forward to hearing how this goes. I’m using Micro Niche Finder too – it saves so much time. I think it really helps make sure your keywords are profitable too. With some of the earliest ones I picked, I think they’re a bit hit and miss.
