Please help me with my first Hub. it took me courage to write it. https://hubpages.com/literature/An-Open … ed-Writers
Okay, but you know, I have to judge it
Firstly, you cannot, I repeat, cannot, take an image from Google images and republish. We tell people over and over that they must use images correctly. This is what HubPages says,
"It is NOT OK to use an image that you have just found on Google Images. Many people search on Google Images and just credit "Google Images" for their photos. This is incorrect. Google Images did not create that image, nor does it host it." https://hubpageshelp.com/media/Learning … -image-use
Secondly, you need to learn how to format a hub correctly. All those white gaps are unnecessary. Make use of text capsules and make sure to delete excess 'returns'. Write in proper paragraphs and use bullet points often. https://hubpageshelp.com/standards/Lear … iting-Tips
Use title case for your sub-headings.
As regards the content, well, to be honest, it sounds as though you are feeling sorry for yourself. There is a lot you can do to improve your writing. Your English is excellent, so no worries there. There are a few little grammar issues but none that would prevent approval. I've seen a lot worse lately. Try reading it out loud, you may pick up some errors.
Your hub is trying to be positive, but it comes over as a bit negative, sort of, "I know how you feel, it's crap that we're all judged and why can't we just say what we want to without all those horrible people judging and criticising....?" Well, that, unfortunately, is how it works. Especially on a site like this. You *are* judged on the quality of your writing. If you weren't you will never improve and you may as well write in a private journal. You want to be a writer? Then you have to accept criticism. You have to keep learning your craft.
Title: Is anyone searching for that title? Would you be typing it in a search engine as it stands? Try, 'Encouragement for Frustrated Writers' or 'Writing with Confidence', though I don't think those are much good either. Spending time looking for the perfect title is always a good idea.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much for your feedback! I will follow your advice. THANKS!!!
There are many writing issues. Try to avoid adverbs and construct positive sentences.

I hope this is in the right forum. I am trying to figure out what went wrong with my hub. The second day I was on the first page of google. I realized that I hadn't put the right title, I meant to change it before I published it and had forgot. so I went back and change the title....

I have finally published a hub that has been deemed unfeatured. I can only direct my attention to a table I inserted which was long when viewed on the mobile platform. Grammar is checked, titles tweaked, content is solid as its in the same vein as my other articles. Do you think this could be it?...

I just wrote a hub on making money with HubPages but wanted to make sure it's ok before publishing. I know you are not supposed to mention what you are earning on HP, but is it ok to use titles like 'How To Earn $1000 per month on Hubpages', or 'How To Make $1 Million On Hubpages'? I don't...

For the first time, after publishing a new hub, I was not able to find it in google search for three days. I had to manually enter the hubs information into google so that it would be added to the search engines. Since then, the hub has only had 1 view from google... though yahoo search seems...

When I first started writing at HubPages I was under the impression that one should make the url and the first title of their hub the same.So my question now is: When trying to write the url for maximum traffic, how much should you really deviate on the main title? Or does it even matter if the key...
