HubPages vs. Your Own Blog – Why a Hub Is Better  

Thinking of generating attention with your own online articles? You have a couple choices. You can purchase your own domain and hosting and publish blog after blog in attempt to gain a following or you can simply create a HubPages hub.

The following will weigh the two against each other so that you can make the best decision for your Internet marketing efforts.

1.    Lower Cost: When you purchase your own domain and hosting, you have to spend money each and every year to maintain that online presence. With HubPages, guess how much you have to spend. You guessed it: Zero. It won't cost you a thing to create and maintain a HubPages account. That should help you make your decision right there. But in case you're not convinced, here are more reasons to choose a hub over your own hosting account.

2.    Easy To Submit Articles: When you host your own blog or website, you have to figure out the coding and all the other technical aspects that go into maintaining such an online presence. When you create and maintain a HubPages account, you will be able to submit articles with ease since the people behind the platform have done so much to keep things as user-friendly as possible.

3.    Earn Money Easily: When you host your own website or blog, you have to know what you're doing if you hope to include ads and other revenue producing elements with your online efforts. With HubPages, you merely point and click, drag and drop and you'll be able to add AdSense ads, Amazon wish lists and affiliate links and so much more. HubPages are essentially money-making magnets - that is if you know how to use them correctly.

4.    Unlimited Submissions: You can create a following easily with HubPages, as long as you provide a lot of content. Thanks to the unlimited submission policy at HubPages, you can create all the articles you want, generating more attention for your brand and more traffic to your websites and/or offers.

5.    Pay An Outsourcer: If you were to pay an outsourcer to write your blog content on a domain and hosting account you purchased, you'd have to give that person sensitive information so that he/she could publish the articles online. With HubPages, you merely have to give the person your hub password. Your information will remain safe as you earn more with your HubPages account.
