I've been job searching since I graduated in August and haven't had any luck. While searching, I came across HubPages and thought it'd be a great way to keep up and/or improve my writing skills while I continue looking for a job. If I could live off of just writing it'd be a dream come true. Who knows, maybe I can get to that point someday here when I can just quit my retail job and just do what I've always wanted to for a living.
I came to hub pages to expand my portfolio as a writer, I write in several other areas and this is an additional way to broaden my base and audience while doing what I love.
The prize is meeting others who have a passion for writing and "expressing their souls emotions through words" and sometimes even just telling our stories.
I did not actually come here to create income although that is a possibility as one becomes more familiar with the HP system and marketing your profile and hubs. I am actually more accustomed to marketing on the web and learning to work within the framework of HP was not even on my radar. I presume the marketing skills learned here will prove to be invaluable anywhere on the web.
Soak it all up, learn from everyone, and write until you've had enough; if you are like me, I don't think that day will ever come!!!! Blessings:
I use Hubpages as a source of income and to write about interesting topics to attract a huge following of internet reading. Read my profile for my internet writing experiences to get a specific idea of why I use hubpages as one of several channels of online income.
Hubs are a great tool for many purposes including: SEO, making money, building brand recognition, article marketing without a website. However, I personally use Hub Pages for a Marketing Prospective.
I have been asking myself that lately, and I don't seem to have a good answer.
It's a productive way to spend my time. I find it very enjoyable to write hubs about things I find interesting or want to learn more about. I also like to do research and discover new perspectives. I wish I could do it full-time and quit my day job, but it doesn't pay the bills.

I'm currently trying to get my husband to help me write some hubs. I'm happy to type them up and edit them, I basically want his input on topics that I know nothing about - because the more topics you cover the more chance you have of getting a great niche.My husband is half won over on the idea I...
