Birthstones and their history

Sapphire belongs to September

Gemstones, is there a more fun and valuable gift? 

A long time gemstones are used as jewelry but not only that. Gemstones are used in amulets for extra luck and to avert the misfortune or an illness to cure. 
Some stones were going to hear to a particular month, a zodiac sign or date of birth. 
It's nice to see the history behind the stone to know and to find out which stone belongs to which month and what characteristics are attributed to the stone.

Birthstones, month stones and gemstones

Gemstones are fun to give away. Whether it is a piece of jewellery or a hug stone actually makes little difference. But where goes your attention to when you’re buying a gemstone? 

Beautiful yellow amber!

Do you look primarily to the colour of the stone that appeals to you or do you also look at the meaning of the colour of the stone.

Additionally, you can also buy gemstones associated with a particular zodiac sign, or stones that are associated with a month or even a particular day of the week.

Hubpages Earnings Month September 2012

In June 2012 I first started to write on Hubpages. I wrote about 9 hubs that month. I also joined the Amazon program.

In July 2012 I wrote about 7 new hubs, because I was on vacation. However, I did reach my goal, I wrote more than 5 hubs this month. I found out that articles about health and diets do best.

In August 2012 I wrote only 2 new hubs, I didn’t reach my own goals. I hope this is only temporary, because of vacation.

In September I wrote only 1 new hub, I again didn’t reach my own goals, but this time I have a good reason! I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, which consumed all of my attention.  Still a little bit tired from the broken nights, but he is wonderful!

Like last month earnings increased, while I didn’t do a lot to promote the articles or write new ones. They increased with 165%. For Amazon I got 3 clicks, but didn’t earn anything there.

What makes a good gluten free breakfast

Everyone has heard of a gluten free diet or gluten free bread. Some people can not tolerate gluten, but what actually are gluten and what foods are they in? How can people with a gluten allergy still eat a good breakfast?

Hub Earnings Month June 2012

When I first started to write on Hubpages, I was already a blogger. I write a lot on my own Dutch blog and also for another Dutch article site. But Hubpages has a lot more readers then any Dutch site and a much bigger community. So I became interested in what money I could make on Hubpages.

In June 2012 I first started to write on Hubpages. I wrote about 9 hubs that month. I also joined the Amazon program.

Writing hubs about special niches is not that easy, so many people have already published on Hubpages, but I still am going to try. As I am a biologist I like to write about food, health, insects, biology, but also other important things in life.

Earnings

I´ll be sharing the numbers of hubs and incomes per month from now on. In the beginning the numbers are very small, but they grow slow and steadily each day.

Month	Hubs	Earnings Hubpages earnings program	Amazon earnings
June 2012	9	$0.17	$0.0
Total	9	$0.17	$0.0

My wallet, now empty,
full in a few months! Just kidding :)

Goals

Some time I hope I will make 50 dollar a month,  a small side income.

Two goals I will try to achieve the upcoming months;

1. Making 50 hubs.
2. Aim to write at least 5 hubs a month.

Hope I can achieve these goals and of course I’ll keep you informed!
