Infect this looks tempting enough to a person with entrepreneurial spirit.
Reason #2: Legitimate and reputable
Hub Page is a legitimate site. All its business activities comply under applicable USA state Laws particularly in San Francisco where its head quarter is located since 2006. Hub Pages is highly reputable site. It has been ranked the 50th most visited site in USA according to recent survey by Quancast, an organization that measure web users for web users around the globe.. Hub Pages boast a huge score of 20, 000 freelance writers and about 2 million readers. Articles published with Hub Pages if of acceptable quality stands better chance of being crawled upon by the Google search robots and being ranked highly in Google Page Ranks thus boasting the hub’s traffic and generating income for the Hubbers
Reason # 3: Be an authority or expert in a niche (topic)
One fairly good reason why you should join Hub Pages is this. Hub Pages allows Hubbers to publish their articles under different categories and presents the Hubbers with a very range of categories. You can pick one category and make it yours by publishing all your articles under that category and be seen as an expert in that category. The more hubs you published under a niche, Google eventually comes to realize you as an authority in that niche and can send you more traffic by ranking you high in Google page ranks. Take for instance; A Papua New Guinean, precisely from Vanimo may want to write all about surfing in PNG, taking Vanimo as his case as Vanimo is currently the hottest surfing site in Papua New attracting professional surfers all around the globe. That Hubber will eventually be an authority in that niche as Vanimo is only found in PNG and nowhere else in the world. If you are in USA or and are know a bit about back yard gardening, you may want to share your skills here in Hub Pages and be respected as an authority. You get the picture? The bottom line is to publish more high quality articles in this niche. Major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing enjoy high quality consumer oriented articles so if you can give them this, they will regards you as an expert and ranked you highly in their pages ranks.
Reason # 4: Earn Respect and Good Credibility
Writing and publishing may sound easy in talking but not so in doing. Only committed ones really do so. Every one love talking about it but only few does it. If you happened to be among those few, many will see you as an authority or expert in a niche or topic or just seen as a professional writer. What do you get? Respect from your peers, family work or school mates or you’re a good credibility from your employers or professional colleagues. Imagine a friend who looks down on you one day stumbles upon your hubs in Hub Pages and see how your well written article demand greater attention from an international writers and readers from around the globe. His or her perception on you will definitely change from looking down on you to looking up on you. I am telling you this from my own experience.
Reason # 5: Publish for pleasure and popularity
Not all freelancer writers publish in Hub Pages for income. Some of my good friends and brilliant writers in Hub Pages just want to publish because they want to satisfy themselves. To have good depth and breadth of this reason, I asked a closed friend of mind and a Hubber (name withheld) why he was not interest in earning with Hub Pages and his one line response was “I love to see the hub out there and someone reading it”
For me, I kind of go for both. Write for income and pleasure as well because writing to me personally is a hobby.
Some write and published to gain popularity and believe me Hub Pages has it takes to make you a Hollywood celebrity in the writers circles if you live by the rules of good quality hubs and observe the professional code of conducts strictly observed by the Hub Page community. Forget not the Universal Law Sowing and Reaping.
You Reap What You Sow
Sow good conducts in Hub Pages and you reap countless benefits. Be bad to others and that’s exactly what you get back in return.
Reason # 6: Improve your English reading, writing and speaking skills
English is not the native language every society around the Globe. In PNG where I originate from, English is the third language of command. We have well over 800 languages, with Motu and Pidgin being the second language of command and English being the third. But English is the accepted language of command taught in all schools. To me this is ridiculous but that’s not the point. The point is if English isn’t your mother tongue, than it is necessary that you require more practice in reading, writing and speaking to better your English.
What a better way to do it Hub Pages under the watchful eyes of the Hub Pages community member. Hub Pages is one on the highly professional and profoundly friendly members who are always there to give you hand when you fall and show you the road ahead when you get lost somewhere in the middle. The more you read, do your research, write and publish, you eventually learn where your weak areas are and better each time you publish a hub. As you vocabulary widens, so is your writing and speaking.
Reason # 7: Market yourself as a profesional writer
Hub Pages is a writer’s community made up of professional writers. Experts in their own right share their expertise in Hub Pages. You being in there will certainly blend you as a professional writer. This may widen your chance of employment or freelance opportunities to write for even more income or better still be seen as an expert where you can coach others for extra bucks. Brilliant huh! Think about it again.
Reason # 8: Learn new technical skills
Look at me! I was literary an internet dummy before I joined Hub Pages. All I knew back than was to check my emails or if I wanted to research online, just type in what I wanted to search and that’s it, get the information and out I go. After joining Hub Pages, I can blog, access countless social sites, and even do search engine optimization, something of which I thought only experts can do.I know affiliate marketing and how to use advertising programs like Google AdSense, traffic monitoring program like Google Analytics and affiliate programs like eBay and Amazon.
