So I’ve started writing on Hubpages… Thoughts on SEO, Making Money Online & HubPages

Posted 63 days ago

First off, let me explain why haven’t I written anything since my first introductory post. Mainly, because I’ve been working on some very interesting things on the Internet.

I’ve been a busy Web addict, traversing the net here and there, searching for ways to make money online. Why did I just make that phrase bold? Well, because that phrase is a keyword. And search bots eat keywords for dinner. Or lunch maybe. Not sure of their eating habits.

There is so much information out there on how to improve your content that it should be a crime not to use it to your advantage. Search-Engine Optimization is essential if you want to attract organic traffic to your website. You’re probably wondering, what the heck is organic traffic? It’s just a fancy word that is often used to refer to the people that are searching for your content and actually end up finding you via the search-engines. Organic meaning natural, and not forced.

There is also Paid Traffic where you can buy ads so that people know your website exists. You’ve seen those, right? They can get pretty annoying and deceitful. Sometimes they may even just pop up out of nowhere. You can do that as well for your website. It is another way to get traffic. But of course, that involves spending money, and who wants to spend money to make money on the Internet? I certainly don’t.

So that’s what I’ve been doing. Learning new techniques and things on how to improve my content and the way I distribute it online. Oh, and I’ve joined HubPages!

If you’ve never heard of HubPages, what are you waiting for? Go check it out. HubPages lets you write for free about anything you want. It works best if you’re writing on something you know a lot about. You can add pictures, polls, ads and now even video! It is freakin’ awesome.

Well, I’ve only just started writing hubs. So far, I have 5. I’ve made a couple cents there on one account. On my second account, I’ve even reached a whole dollar! Gasp!

Haha. In order to make money using HubPages, you have to keep at it for years. And not only that, you have to be sure you’re doing it right. Like I said, you have to use the Internet to improve your content so that search-engines can actually rank you better than other websites with similar information. It is like using the Internet to beat the Internet, basically. You have to research everything BEFORE you start writing. It wouldn’t make sense to write a long article about something nobody really wants to know about, now would it?

So…that’s what I’ve been doing.

Thanks for reading. :)

Introduction to my blog

Posted 1 year, 308 days ago

Hello Internet! How’s it going? I’m doing just fine. Hope you are too.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My friends call me Rick for short. I’m currently 22 years old. I was born in Lima, Peru but I’ve lived in the United States almost my entire life, ever since I was five years old.  I’ve been online as long as I can remember in a time now immemorial before Google or Facebook even existed.

For years, I didn’t know what to do with this website. Then one day in 2010, I had an idea. I decided to write about things I loved talking about. Things that mattered to me like the Internet, viral videos and other things related to the World Wide Web. Someone once told me that if you stand in a magazine aisle and just be yourself for a few minutes, whatever you end up picking up is your true passion. I don’t know if that is true for everyone, but in my case, I already had a dozen or so technology and web-related magazines lying around in my room, so when the time came to pick my topics of interest, it wasn’t that hard.

Simply put, I’m just a guy who loves to write about the Internet. I enjoy sharing useful information with anyone that stumbles upon my blog. This can range from web-related phenomena to many other interesting things!

Didn’t read the above? Here’s an even shorter version, for those of you who like lists

Basically what this blog will cover:

  • The Internet (Interesting sites, videos, and who knows what else?)
  • Social Media and Social Networking (You know, like…Twitter?)
  • Software and Web Applications
  • Latest Technology & Gadgets
  • Blogging (And perhaps vlogging, some day!)
  • Daily Facts/Information on Web-related things
  • And much, much more!

So, if you enjoy reading about things like the hottest new tablet on the market right now, how to build your own website or other web-related things, please, stick around. I promise I won’t disappoint. If you do end up staying and liking any of my posts, please leave me a comment and/or subscribe (if you’d like to be notified whenever I post something new).

If you would like to contact me for any reason, visit my main page and send me a message.

Thanks for visiting!
