A Short Guide to Online Success
A REMINDER FROM HISTORY
 “All writers in this world got their
 stories rejected at one point or
 another in their lifetime. Even the
 authors of today’s classic had had
 hard times publishing their stories,
 let alone making money from their
 craft. ”
IF YOU CAN ’T SELL, YOU ARE NOT A LOUSY
                   WRITER
 Writers are often at the mercy of their editors. If you
  write a short story and try to publish it in a literary
  magazine, you are going to have a tough time
  selling it. It is simply a complicated business
 depending on the editor’s taste and the magazine
 guidelines. Read more about the pitfalls to avoid
 here
The Hard Option: Try Indie Publishing


 Some people will tell you to try AMAZON KINDLE
  PUBLISHING as a way to publish your short stories.
  This a good option, however you cannot control
  the sales. In other words, you have to drive people to
 buy your stuff which can be a little bit daunting if you
 don’t have a social media presence.
The Easy Option: Publish on
              Hubpages

 What is hubpages anyway?
 Hubpages is a revenue sharing website where you can
 publish articles, stories, recipes etc. and get paid
 depending on the number of visitors you get each
 month. The higher is the number, the better is the pay.
 Getting paid for writing short stories is not simply
 a matter of statistics. The visitors you get will interact
 with you and leave constructive feedback on your
 stories’ comment capsule. You can also build a
 community of followers around you who share the
 same interests as you do.
 In addition, Hubpages offers adsense integration with
 your pages, so you get paid if your readers click on the
 ads displayed on your stories. Besides, you can
 integrate AMAZON and EBAY products within your
 short stories as an additional affiliate income.
 Truth is, by publishing your short stories online you
 can either try to cope with dozens of rejection slips
 from different editors and get paid once in a while, or
 wait for a lucky customer to buy your stories if you go
 indie publishing with AMAZON and SMASHWORDS,
 or just do things the smart way by concentrating on
 driving traffic to your published stories on hubpages
 which will prove more rewarding in the long run.
An example of short stories published on Hubpages

 The Cost of Saving Faith ( A Science Fiction Short
  Story in 6 Parts )
 The Dawn of Post Humans ( A Science Fiction Short
  Story in 3 Parts )
 The Gods of Knowledge ( A Fantasy Short Story)
