Hubpages Success Stories

As freelance writers and looking toward a New Year there are some writers that are creating resolutions for an upcoming 2012 calendar year. Reconsidering, remembering and even scheduling what we will do next with our pen and paper. I wanted to share with you some incentive for staying the course to make a nice living as a writer. You can earn a part time income or a full time income depending on what you write and where you publish your work and how much money you can make with your writing efforts.

Numerous writers read of success stories, but never get the actual numbers or rather earnings of what you can make as a freelance writer. I have outlined the Hubpages as a writing resource several times and income earned from passive income sources. A passive source of freelance writing income is income that earns over and over again for an article submitted to authority writing sites or content writing sites. A passive source of income is terrific because you earn continually for something you actually only do once.

These are more than several success stories and what writers with Hubpages are actually earning from their Hubs or articles submitted to Hubpages.

Some of the writers showcased here joined the site several years ago, but their articles are continuing to earn. If you happen to be interested in joining Hubpages, do so by clicking here.
