Analysis of a Successful Hubber: Misha

In past Hubs, I have looked at two other Hubbers who have found success and make more than $1000 per month at HubPages using totally different methods and techniques. If you haven't had a chance, please review my analysis of Ryan Kett and Nelle Hoxie to get a sense of how they make a nice chunk of change online.

My third analysis of successful Hubbers will be focusing on Misha. I picked him since he uses a third, entirely different strategy of making money with HubPages. Looking at what Misha does can really open your eyes to the possibility that exists on the internet. But as always, there is a lot of hard work involved. So, let's look at what makes Misha special and why he inspires me to work both harder and smarter to achieve success online.

The first thing that stands out when comparing the others against Misha is that Misha only has a limited number of Hubs.  In fact, he has only published 21 Hubs total.  And yet Misha has made more than $100 in a single day!  That works out to be $3000 per month for the mathematically challenged.  How is this possible?  It seems absolutely insane that he can make an average of about $5 per Hub each day.  I can't even make $5 per Hub in a month.

The other thing that you should notice is that Misha's Hubs don't jump out at you.  They are on various topics but don't strike you as extremely commercial or money making Hubs.  And he still makes a ton of money.  So how does he do this?

Misha is a perfect illustration of the power of backlinks on the internet. While others choose to publish lots of content, Misha has the effective use of backlinking down to a science. You can learn a lot by reading Misha's Hubs on backlinks.

Misha really opened my eyes to the power of backlinking and I have been working to increase my backlinks on the internet. Of course to this point I have not been as effective as Misha but I have noticed a steady increase in traffic by spending more effort on this aspect of my internet hobby.

The other characteristic that I think helps make Misha successful is that he has built himself into a brand here on HubPages.  If I mention Misha's name, I am sure that many of you automatically think of his avatar picture and a witty, no-nonsense guy.

Misha has over 2400 followers and has posted almost 15,000 times to the forum.  That provides a lot of exposure which I believe helps his internet success.  Those followers could easily provide additional backlinks to his Hubs.  They provide the potential for numerous comments on his Hubs which also help in the SERPs since each comment is viewed as new content.

So, even though Misha does not spend a lot of time writing Hubs, he does spend his time backlinking and building up himself as a brand which is marketing.  Misha is out pounding the internet pavement marketing himself and his 21 Hubs which is the key to his success.  It is a totally different way of doing things than Ryan or Nelle, but is just as lucrative (if not more so). 

Here's to Misha and his continued success.  I wish him the best and strive to be half as successful in twice the time.
