Jerrico Kensington Usher - Profile Hub

• Profile Updated Sunday October 16th, 2011 7:53 p.m.

Hi, my name is Jerrico Usher and At the time of this profile update I'm 36 years young.

I have two baby girls Riann and Hailey (adopted from a previous relationship, not living with me).

I'm engaged to a gorgeous, intelligent, compassionate and above all PATIENT woman-

Michelle- the love of my life.

I live in Bend, Oregon.

I moved here almost 2 years ago from California.

I've since adopted the terms "Oregon is a Paradise" while "Sacramento is a Concrete Paradise"

Trees and beautiful foilage truly inspire more than concrete and bad air!

I'll never leave this paradise!

I started my "making money online" career here on hubpages and ran with it.

Hubpages is phenomenal for training you to make money online (anywhere including here), and I've translated my "lessons" over the years proactively sought with a vengeance (I hated working in the offline world, and now work full time online) into an eBook that I think is just incredible.

I wrote it originally as a consolidation of my lessons so "I" wouldn't forget them and as a reference encyclopedia when I needed a way to do something but couldn't remember how I did it before. It's since become much more than I'd like to keep to myself.

I tried converting it into hubs and they were very popular in their time- but NOBODY clicked ads so I made 0.00 from my hard work building hubs. Even the hubpages team warned me that building hubs about hubs- even if they helped other hubbers- was a waste of time if I wanted to earn from my efforts.

I've since removed the hubs and produced an eBook that even itself has evolved incredibly over the years and now am about to offer it for sale to those who want to skip the BS, the hard work of learning every little thing (including most of what nobody will teach you or even knows) about how to effectively make money on hubpages.

It's truly possible to ditch the offline slave labor jobs to work here in online earning haven. I started using my writing skills and now have more skill sets than I can even remember at once! There are literally 1000's of ways to make money and all fun (different people like different ways).

I love to write and manage writers in my "day job" as well as freelance to supplement my income. I enjoy writing on hubpages because not only can I write what I want with no pressure, but my hubpages account literally pays my rent every month and sometimes even half my groceries!

Since the beginning of my Hub Author career here- a passive income at this point- I've been fascinated by this site, it's creators, and it's community. It is possible to earn what you make right now at your menial job (12k/year or 1-2k a month or so) full time. If you write hubs a certain way and consistently you can in time generate a passive income that grows as you write.

There is a "docking" period usually 6 months to a year where you earn less until you build up to your 100th or so hub, but most of that time is learning the basics of writing hubs the right way. Once you learn that, it's just about polishing of your previous and new hubs so they earn instead of just sit there (my eBook teleports you to the latter part right away like having cheat codes can get you to several levels that normally take months to years to get to the manual way).

I spent the past 3 years writing here and learning how this site ticks in detail. My goal was to crack the algorithm and to learn how to make the most money possible here consistently. I've done that and poured out all my secrets into an eBook that will soon be available exclusively to my HubPages Fans for around 7.00 (haven't priced it yet but it will be cheap) and to the rest of the world for slightly more. It's currently called:

"The Hub Of Opportunities(.com)"

other working titles are HPA Advantage (hubpages algorithm advantage)

And it breaks down the sites many untapped opportunities for earning in detail, gives a very holistic view of the sites features and how to tap into the sites "power"- it's algorithm (whose gas gauge is quantified by the Hub Score and Hub Author Score respectively). The book is over 100 pages (currently) and is anything but your "basic" hubpages "for dummies" book- but is written for newbies and non hubpages authors (wanting to become hubpages passive income earners) and expert "hubbers" alike.

This is taking a lot of my time lately- I'm going to start publishing videos of some of these tactics (free) to hubs to show you guys (hubbers or aspiring hub authors) how to do some really creative stuff here to differentiate your hubs from others!

• Writing

• Psychology

• Adobe Photoshop (image manipulation for websites, hubs, and projecting (dream board building))

• Adobe Audition (music creation and sound effects etc...)

• Camtasia (video creation, editing, tutorial building etc...)

• Website building (writing, images, videos, hubs, all of the above!

• Teaching, learning consistently

• ... And more

I enjoy manifesting things into being, especially innovative things. I also enjoy improving upon things including inventions, sites, business models, marketing, psychology tools, and especially inventions that become products (so far I've not tried to market any of them but have created many for other companies and friends with companies).

I also love solving problems and am quite good at it- especially on computers. I'm an adept computer user although programming code I've dabbled in is a bit more complex than I'm comfortable with- but html I'm pretty good at.

I have a passion for helping people and teaching people to become their best self. My eBook started out as a passion to share my knowledge of hubpages that I've EARNED through blood sweat and hubs so others can earn like I do here. It's truly exciting to make money doing nothing, or doing what you truly enjoy doing.

My latest invention is turning hubpages into a playground that trains people to become "making money online" enthusiests and powerful internet marketers (term used for making money online but sounds like becoming an online amway salesman- but isn't at all)- Hence my book teaching internet marketing the way I learned- by building hubs on hubpages (about everything but marketing lol).

I have 3 cats, two adults and a kitten, an exotic underwater Axolotl, 6 fish and counting, and a cute hamster.

My fiance Michelle brought the two adult cats and we got the baby/kitten together(and all the other animals/pets).

Our white and black spotted cuddle bug cat is named Blue (like little boy blue, not my favorite name for a cat but...)

Our Calico Cat is a bit of a "baby" hence her name "Baby" is shy and hides all day

Our newest addition "Lexi" we adopted from the SPCA at about 4 months, she's an amazingly cool kitten as ambitious and curious about the world as I am :)

We got the Axolotl in Sacramento at a pet store, and the fish we keep wanting more (and more tanks! nice feng shui, we love to surround ourselves with life of all kinds.

We all live in a cute two story town house and enjoy our life very much. Michelle and I have been together since November 22nd 2009 and have never had a fight, we've had the usual annoyances but are incredibly great at communication- every day feels like the first but with more fortification of love and respect. If wealth is at the core being happy- and having enough money to more than survive, we're very wealthy. We love what we do (work) and spread our joy to others.

She's truly my soul mate and inspires me every day. She supports my work and even helps me all the time. She's truly the woman behind the man- and I believe with her support I'll move mountains- I already have!

You can read a whole lot more by scouring my hubs as I've been pretty much documenting my lifes passions since 2007-8 here on HubPages. At first this site was a money making venture, but I lost hope about a year in and started to "Hub" just as a release, a peice of therapy and a creative outlet for all the information stuck in my head. This "Journal" of a sort has become an income that surpassed my original goals and continues to rock!

I still write based on my passions in many areas including my biggest passion "Psychology" and "innovation" areas. My goal is to vent but to teach too. By vent I don't mean negatively- but as I'm addicted to learning each and every day- I need to pour this information out into a hub just to get it out of my head to leave room for new information but with the security that I won't lose anything I learn.

A personal one and a great group of hubs that people love to read based on the comments and fan mail I get. I've been a "Featured Hubber" too... wasn't all the "traffic" glory I thought it would be but was a fun "award" to win of a sort :) Out of over 200k people I was chosen.

I hope you enjoy these hubs as much as I enjoyed writing them. I'm all over the web with my writing and sites, not just here, but I'll let you find them :)

I'm in the process of moving all of my websites out there into hubs to centralize my business and because Hubpages is phenomenal for generating money without me having to really work at promotion. SO much so that my sites turned into "Hub-Series" are earning more than they did as stand alone sites!

I've decided to pour my passions into HubPages to teach others to make money on this site while simultaneousely learning to make money online anywhere else, but my hubs will more than not still be based on other things I learn or want to share. My hubpages knowledge will be poured into the eBook and upcoming blogs (off hubpages) exclusively accessible to those who purchase the book. I tried making hubs of these concepts but made no money and with as much work as it is, I can't build hubs that don't earn- ever- but in an eBook I can share and earn- I do have a family to support!

Thank you for visiting my profile hub- I invite your comments and thank you for patronizing my site!

_______________________________________________________________

Please look around and read a few hubs. There are plenty of intriguing topics to choose from. I’ve always written hubs based on things I learned. For fun or business (or my own sanity). Below I'll describe how I see my hubs

My HubPages Account Is Set Up Like An Encyclopedia

I was always fascinated, also, with the format of an encyclopedia. Not so much with alphabetizing the material, but the sheer volume of information present in a set! In writing my hubs I try to stay with that spirit. I want people to be able to come to my HubPages account and can use my search box like Google; hopefully eventually there is an article for every topic :)

I’d be curious about something then would go out and fully research it out. I would often be intrigued with something new I learned or discovered, or a lesson that I learned the hard way, and would be bursting at the seams to share what I learned. - Nobody cared. People often said I overanalyzed life, but I begged to differ. I found literally hundreds upon hundreds of people who actually like to read this stuff… A writer was born- officially, that is.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

Why I write here…

I started hubbing as a way to both get some creative outlet, relief, and a great encyclopedia of life's answers, tailored just for me, but useful for anyone wanting to listen to my perspective and experiences.

I needed a way to remember it and to store it for MYSELF later if I ever forgot something or wanted a refresher on the material. Although my journey to landing on HubPages in the first place was one of desperation to find a way to make more money… with writing… but it became much more over the years.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

Writing Status – What You Will Find Here

I published currently over 400 hubs!!! On topics ranging from Making Money Online to Eyeball bling to psychology to cabinets and laminate flooring.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

The Mission:

Learn About My World Then Share My Findings / Awareness

My interests are varied, very varied, and I’ve always been curious how the world around me works, both mentally and physically. (if your on or have been on this same mission, my hubs should prove a gold mine of information- if nothing else, to use to research your own answers).

My hubs reflect my live lessons and curiously, they also pay the bills. I’ve always wanted to just make enough on HubPages to pay my rent and my checks (Adsense) are now big enough to almost do just that.

You could say work I’ve done over the past 3 years (writing hubs/articles) has paid off and continues to pay off even now that I stopped writing like I used to. I refer to my own hubs consistently for insights and as a shortcut when telling a friend “how” something works or “how” to make money online or “how to not feel lost” and so on. You’d be surprised how much you learn and forget only a month later… and you’d also be surprised how much more effective it is to show your friends a fully compiled, researched hub answering their question better than you could tell them yourself! (we always miss the details in conversation).

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

I Use My Hubs Just Like Anyone Else… To remember or get Information

I browse through my hubs often using keywords (like Googling my question) and often I’ve written a hub detailing the problem and solution, or ideas, and even many humorous hubs about how to write better hubs, how to hack HubPages (go beyond formatting to change the look of your hubs) and more…

I love to write and share my wisdom… my wisdom is the consolidation of all those who’ve come before me and taught me, showed me, or that I’ve read online or in books and magazines. I love to learn, and I love to share. Please leave comments, and thank you for taking the time to look around my site!

To Those Looking To Write for Money on HubPages and beyond:

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

I started out, like many of you, on HubPages writing articles about things that interested me, but like many of you I wanted to make money with my writing. That was the goal, but 3 years later I discovered that making money on HubPages was not only possible, it’s not too hard to do.

There is a lot of work getting your first 150 hubs written, and often it takes that many before you start to see triple digit checks, but many of you will, like me, land that one hub that takes off and all by itself can earn 100.00 a month. (I wrote about this success in a hub linked above) I thought it was a fairy tale to make 100+ a month from ONE hub, but I did it (quite by accident).

Granted, if you’re looking to make 2k a month, and maintain a high ROI (return on investment) of time and money, HubPages won’t get you there. What it will do, however, is train you to write like an Adsense site builder. I love how I can write potent informative hubs and sites that help people, and at the same time I can earn a passive and recurring income from my articles.

I wouldn’t be where I am today had I not found HubPages and started writing hubs.

It took me 2 years to even start to see 50.00 a month, but I also didn’t try to promote anything, but once your hubs (if they are potent in information, not just a bunch of hubs but GOOD hubs people want to read) reach 100+ you start to see magic. HubPages is self promoted so just putting a hub on your account is like attracting free traffic, targeted to your hubs message.

HubPages Should Not Be Your Only “Egg” or Money Maker

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

Right now your probably only making money on HubPages, not all of you but many. You’re curious and almost desperate to learn how to make money on the internet. That was my goal too, and I’ve discovered how it’s done, wrote many hubs about my experience, and I love to share information too. I continue to write hubs on topics that span across just about every niche out there :).

My hubs do earn money but knowing that so many people are finding answers to their questions and the hope that my hubs help every visitor learn something or figure something out, is more rewarding.

Within these hubs are many things, but making money online and human psychology, and let’s not forget hubs on how to make money on HubPages, keyword technologies, and the like are abundant here.

At the time of writing this there are 250+ hubs packed with great research consolidated and optimized. If you’d like to read my hubs later, or would like to be alerted when new hubs are written (usually when I make a breakthrough I will share the “how” in a hub) I invite you to follow me, or become a fan (whatever they call it these days). You can email me through the hubpages email system any time. I love hearing from my readers :)

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

My Eggs Are Many (income streams?) But I always practice ethically, no black hat SEO or crap articles to generate money, I make sure my work is at the very least interesting and informative.

██████████████████████████████████████████████████

I currently make my living between an evening online job (co-manager of 400+ writers/twice as many customers for an online content provider company), HubPages (700+ hubs now, and hundreds and hunderds a month here) and Super Apprentice. (and various projects)...

Take a look around, and if you have any questions shoot me an email!

Thank you for reading this page, enjoy my emporium of ezines!
