Hub pages Blue printV2

The Hubpages team was founded by three guys out of Microsoft that were part of the successful startup MongoMusic. The team includes Paul Edmondson, Jay Reitz, and Paul Deeds. Many of you may have heard of Squidoo which is a competitor of Hubpages. Basically both of them are a ?free-hosted community of content producers?. Both Squidoo and Hubpages can be ?grouped? into the Web 2.0 movement ? where user generated content rules. Both Squidoo and Hubpages SHARE REVENUE with their content creators (YOU). In my experience the revenue numbers are still low, but the opportunity is growing. (But as you will see throughout this report, there are MANY other reasons to focus on Hubpages vs. just the revenue sharing . . .) One of Hubpages differences is in how they share profits with the producers of the content on this free hosting / Web 2.0 platform:

Hubpages purpose is to provide easy-to-use tools and traffic to help anyone to produce content and monetize their knowledge by creating webpages. There will be monetization programs to choose from consisting of products, advertisements and lead generation tools that each person can easily incorporate into their pages. Hubpages will split revenue with the content creator. The pages are organized in the Hubpages website based on algorithmic quality index that promotes the best pages throughout the hierarchy (based on tags) of the website. Each author will earn a reputation score called a HubScore that can be referenced to meter the quality of the content by an author. Hubpages will be positioned to take advantage of the significant numbers of new web content providers that want to supplement their income through content like many people do on eBay by selling goods.
