Earlier this month I contemplated joining Hubpages and writing silly articles about Asian pop music to see if I could make any money through AdSense. Obviously, not going to be the main source of income in my life, nor do I want it to be. I’m cool with that. It would just be kinda cool to make some passive income.<\/p>\n
Well, yesterday I launched my first hubs, and woke up today to find most of them bahleeted for “duplicate content”. Oh. That’s nice. Thanks guys. I had two more waiting to be finished and published, and so far so good. These are opinion pieces, so I damn well dare them to tell me that they’re not ~okay~. (Although funnily enough, one of them has been losing points. This site, I swear. I may get too frustrated to continue much longer as it is.)<\/p>\n
Anyway, my first two “real” hubs apparently are The Top 10 Ayumi Hamasaki Song<\/a>s and Top 10 J-pop Female Idols of the 70s and 80s<\/a>. If you’re into music and curious at all about Japanese pop music (and you are, trust me, you are) you should definitely check them out. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Earlier this month I contemplated joining Hubpages and writing silly articles about Asian pop music to see if I could make any money through AdSense.
