Help a noob make a decision

7 replies
I want to make some blogs on hubpages and use adsense and amazon and some affiliate links to make some money. I want to focus on physical as well as mental health. should I make one big hub dealing with all the different topics or make several little hubs. the goal is to get the most readers and followers as possible. Thanks for any help.

    Just a question, Sturmbro, but why not make them on a site you own and control yourself (even if it's on free hosting) rather than on someone else's site where you can never own and control it, they can delete it any time they like, you're subject to all their terms of service and regulations (including "no hoplinks"!), they don't like affiliate marketers much, and it isn't really your business at all in the sense that you're developing and owning an asset that increases in value? :confused:

    Sorry - I haven't answered your question at all, and I've made a disparaging comment, I do appreciate ... but what you're suggesting just makes no sense to me, when you can so easily do something so much better (even without spending any money).

        Free hosting with built-in site-building software (not suitable for Wordpress blogs): Weebly, Yola, Blinkweb (there may be others, too - these are the well-known, well-established, "safe" ones).

        Free hosting for whatever you want (including Wordpress blogs): Byethost (very well-established, professional, recommended, but no C-Panel), or 000webhost (there'll definitely be many others, too, but read their terms of service very carefully before trying them, these are collectively certainly not as "safe" or reliable as places like Weebly, mentioned above).

        You'll need a domain-name, though. You can still get free domains from .tk, I think. Whether you'd want to use one is another matter. You can buy a perfectly good .info domain-name for $1 from GoDaddy, and I recommend that, if cost's an issue. It's much more professional-looking (and maybe easier to rank) than a ".tk" one.

    I would build all the traffic into one place that I personally owned on my own domain hosted by me :-)

    Make different Hubs for each different Niche.. Try and act like a specialized entity rather then being jack of all trades on a single hubpage..
