I have a self-hosted blog on Wordpress and am starting a second one. The first blog has been fairly success, close to 10,000 views per month. I also started on Hubpages a few months ago. I had an article go viral and earned around $120 on a single article, but it's slower on the other articles. Still haven't decided whether it's worth the effort. I'm very active on Twitter too and have had success there. Still learning. :-)
