Analysis of a Successful Hubber: Nelle Hoxie

In keeping with a theme I started with my analysis of Ryan Kett, I want to look at another successful hubber and discover what we can learn. I want to figure out if there are additional characteristics that make Nelle Hoxie successful earning over $1000 per month on HubPages. First of all, Nelle takes a different approach in her Hubs. She writes product review Hubs and makes the majority of her money through being an Amazon affiliate.

It goes without saying that in order to be successful at anything, hard work is required.  Unfortunately, so many people either forget this aspect or simply ignore it hoping for an easy way to make money only to be disappointed and frustrated.  Nelle is not one of those people.  In the past 17 months on HubPages, she has published 359 Hubs.  That is an average of over 21 per month!  As any Hubber that has written a lot of Hubs knows, there are several hours that can be invested in each and every Hub. 

Also researching products, formulating reviews and linking to those products requires not only time but a special skill that must be developed and honed.  Nelle has acquired this ability through extensive efforts and has refined her delivery to encourage individuals to shop and purchase through her affiliate link.

I know this since she has freely admitted that she often doesn't know which products may sell well or which may be duds.  Not every Hub will be a big money maker.  To succeed online, you have to be willing to put in quite a bit of effort on many Hubs that won't get traffic, won't get ad revenue, or won't make a sale.  In other words, you have to be willing to make mistakes and be willing to fail.  It is impossible to write the perfect Hub.  There is always something different that you feel you could do.  But in reality the worst thing you could do is not publish anything while trying to write that perfect article.  Paralysis by analysis is the antithesis of making money online.

This characteristic goes along with the second one.  If you are afraid to fail, you won't be willing to experiment and learn.  Nelle has tried many different things in her time on HubPages and as a result has developed a winning combination and strategy.  She is also working on developing her skills writing for AdSense which is a totally different method of writing requiring different skills than writing for Amazon.  And yet, she is willing to take a chance, experiment and fail while getting it right.

To summarize those characteristics which have made Nelle Hoxie a successful Hubber who is able to make over $1000 per month on HubPages:

1. Nelle is an incredibly hard worker who has published many product Hubs with the intent of selling through Amazon.
2. She has developed a well-tuned technique of writing that is effective for selling products through trial and error because
3. she is willing to fail and take a chance, learning from her mistakes and constantly striving to improve her results.

Because of the above characteristics, I have no doubt that she will learn how to write to make money online through AdSense and diversify her income stream as she intends.

Here's to Nelle Hoxie, a successful Hubber!
