      Good luck! You'll have fun too!  Just holler if you need help.  Nelle and I both are willing to help anyway we can.  So are the other members of the HubChallenge team.  Like Ryan Hupfer, Ryan Kett, Darkside, Julie-Ann Amos, Melissa and Waynet.

        Thanks KCC and the whole team. I'm so excited. I fully intend to have fun, and already am! Planning and hoping to finish 2 hubs per day to catch up and have 30 by Oct 31st.

        Off to write!

      Wow, you're doing fantastic! Keep it up! Every bit you do ahead of schedule means that much more in potential revenue, etc.  It also gives you some breathing room if you decide to take a day off.  Keep it up!

        I actually have a personal goal of getting 15 done by tomorrow night so I can take Thurs and Fri off. Cat is having surgery and we are moving some furnishings around starting Thurs in prep for daughter moving to AZ.

        I have 11 under my belt since the beginning of Oct. This has really been the kick in the pants I needed.

      You ARE dedicated!  Christmas music and all!  I've got to write some hubs geared towards Christmas.  I have been concentrating on finishing some of my unfinished hubs first.  I have a few more and I started one last night for this week's HubMob Topic. 

      Hey guys and gals, if you haven't tried one of the HubMob topics, you should.  Because of the publicity they get and the RSS feeds, etc. you get a lot of pageviews on these.  My number one hub was a HubMob topic hub.

    Habee, have you posted these hubs in the regular HubChallenge forum too?  If not, you really should post them there instead of here.  We're trying to keep them all in one place so that people can find them easier and don't get too confused about what should go where.

    This is where to post them:

      KCC Big Countryposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Well, you have a choice.  The HubChallenge I proposed here was to be the calendar month of October.   However, we have the regular HubChallenge that runs 30 days from whenever you want to start it.  It's all the same thing.  I just like operating on a calendar month because it makes keeping up with what day you're on much easier.  So, welcome aboard whichever you decide.  You can count from whenever you want.  All the links go to same place no matter what you decide.  If you have more questions, holler at me here or email me.

      Welcome aboard!

    So I did some reading. Figured out that if I'm going to Tweet about my challenge to use the #HubChallenge tag.

    Also wondered since I've been somewhat floundering my 1st 2 weeks here, even had 1st hub unpublished and republished in accordance with T.O.S., could I use my first 2 hubs which were done not quite in October but almost? I posted them in the hub challenge thread, just in case.

    I read in the forum that I should blog about taking the hub challenge and use one of the images provided which I did in my blogger blog. Is that correct or did it mean, start a hub about taking the 30-day challenge?

    I'm on a roll now as I proceed awaiting any correction anyone cares to share. Today will be 4th hub if my 1st 2 count.

    1. KCC Big Country profile image85
      KCC Big Countryposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      You can do it however you want.  The 30 day HubChallenge runs any 30 day period you want.  All the reading you did about tags and blogging and images is all correct. No need to write a hub about starting the challenge.  Good luck, sounds like you're off to a great start!

    Okday KCC #10 is done.

    I finished it this morning but I forgot to publish it. So the Christmas carols are cranked up, I've got my elf hat on. (I can't find my elf ears...but I know their somewhere around here somewhere.) And I'm getting my Ebay hubs ready for Christmas.

    You've heard of method actors who have to live their part, well I'm a method hubber and marketeer, I have to live my product niche. There's probably a reason that I work alone, with no co-workers nearby!

    Okay KCC, I've just completed #11.


    Carmen, first of all no offence taken by your question. I'm not KCC but I'll take a stab at answering as well.

    Once you write a hub, the income keeps coming - month after month. And my income from Hubpages isn't "just a few hundred dollars" every month anymore. Between adsense, Ebay, and Amazon it is really starting to add up.

    What many of us are shooting for is a residual income stream. One young lady, who is a college student, worked very hard this summer at making hubs, and she delightedly is continuing to earn money off of them every month.

    Haha I thought it was going to be an October HubChallenge to write 30 Halloween hubs...

  20. KCC Big Country profile image85
    KCC Big Countryposted 14 years ago

    Carmen, I don't take offense either.  Like Nelle said, it's about the residual income.  It takes time to build that.  This is the time where the income level doesn't match the work level.  However, there comes a point where the work is far less than the income generated.  Nelle is a great example of that.

    There are other reasons I, or others, write here:

    Build a writing portfolio
    Drive traffic to other money-making sites or ventures
    Improve skills that will assist you in other writing jobs
    Gauge the reception of proposed topics/projects by getting feedback
    Have a second source of income without having to leave home (this is perfect for people with small children)
    It costs nothing to do it-what is to lose by doing it?
    Theraputic-allows you to vent and sort out your life

    And many more.....

    Number 12 is done. Yep more ornaments. I've found the elf ears, decorated myself, and I'm typing like crazy. I know that this is the best way to prepare for Christmas madness.

    I've been thinking about how a 30-day challenge really is a great way to focus on a niche. Analyze in depth on a multitude of keyword searches and go for all of those 4- and 5-word long-tail searches. Eeek out every last ounce of revenue I say!

    Hey everybody!  Rest assured I've read each post above this one, it's now difficult to address each one individually.  Glad to have you all aboard!  Thanks Nelle for welcoming them in my absence and for reminding everyone to please post your hublinks in the forum designed for that so that we can keep it all neat and tidy and people can all go to one place to find what the HubChallengers are doing!

    I've been noticing a lot of good hubs coming out of this group!  There are people who believe that having a challenge encourages sloppy substandard hubs because people are rushing things.  I couldn't DISAGREE more! I find that people tend to crank out far better hubs when they're focused and participating in a challenge.  There will always be that odd one that makes us all look like a fool, but hey...I'm here to have fun and to write! 

    Good luck to everyone and feel free to email me anytime if you have a question, need help, or just want to say 'hi'.

But I continue to be so grateful for the words, "you're fine, no cancer" that everything else is a cakewalk. I am forcing liquids, sipping hot and spicy chicken soup, and not doing much at all.

    KCC, I want to thank you for the Motivation you gave me in starting this Challenge, however I'm not happy about all these issues of Hubs seen on other sites. I know Maddie resolved the Shiftm, shiftn etc but others have come to light since then and even before then. Ryan's discovered another one this morning.

    I will continue to write but will publish them once in a while instead of working my bones off only to have them copied. (Shiftm did copy some of my recent stuff, so even if people are still stealing Hubs I'll know that I wrote them in my own time.

    I hope I'm making sense. The Challenge does burn you out and is worth it (I did the 30 day one) but if people are stealing it, then to me its not worth stressing myself. I'd rather publish them once in a while. (I know I've kind of repeated myseslf in this paragraph. lol)

    Thanks for your understanding and I really wish the group good luck. smile

      That's entirely up to you and I do understand. I wish you the best in whatever you decide.  I'm still here if you need help or support.

      Since you addressed me, I hope you don't mind me telling you where I stand on the copying issue.

      None of us want our material copied and then used for the financial gain of someone else.  That bites the big one and it hurt me as well.  It's unfair, it's unethical, it's downright dirty.  However, it's reality.  This copying crap isn't new, it's only new to us.  We have to learn to deal with it.  We deal with it by getting smarter about how to prevent it and file the necessary complaints and not let people get away with it.

      I'll be damned if I let it slow me down.  In fact, I want to write twice as many hubs.  I hope they have trouble keeping up with copying what I have to say.

    You see, it's been a month since I joined Hubpages.And I'm sensing a big change in me. I easily get irritated nowadays.

    Maybe the cause is the long hours I spent every night finishing my hubs. Am I getting a low count of red hemoglobin?

    I finished 20 hubs already. I'm already wearing my new pair of eyeglasses for astigmatism.

    Can I face your challenge? Okay, I'm preparing now my hub-to-do (HTD) list for possible money-making topics.

    Travel-man & Spudnik, welcome to the challenge! 

    Travel-man, this is supposed to be fun.  Don't stress over it, seriously.  The more you practice at this, the more efficient you become at it and future hubs will take a lot less time to complete.  I know in the beginning, it sometimes seemed a strain to write 500 words.  Now 1000 words flow rather easily.  You also get used to the layouts and you learn little tricks to make things move around quicker. 

    If you guys and gals have any questions there are a bunch of us that are more than willing to help!

    Nelle Hoxieposted 14 years ago

    How's everybody doing? Tired, drained, lacking motivation. Is it the mid-challenge slump? If the answer is yes. I know that feeling well. But we have to fight it off!

    Seriously if you're here to make money, this is the most critical time of the year to keep pushing. In a few weeks it will be too late to make the Christmas selling season.

    So if you're a money hubber like me, then go for a brisk walk, think about what you need the money for (like the mortgage, food, and new car) and come back refreshed and ready to work.

    Check in and let KCC Big Country (and me) know how you're doing! Can we help in anyway. Let us know.

    KCC - Paul Deeds said in another topic that he thought hubbers should wait until hubpages gets the nod from Ebay.

    So you have to use another site as your work to get in as well as another email address.

    I have completed #19 Ebay hub. Tired of Christmas ornaments, I moved on to a strategy for affording warm winter coats.

    Reading a new book by Laura Day "How to Rule the World from Your Couch" and employed some of her techniques to choose and write the hub topic. We'll see. All very New Age and Earthie Crunchie.

      Very spunky to do 30 by the end of October. Go for it. And if you can't, I say just go for the 30 in 30 days. Whatever helps you get up and write hubs everyday is a great thing. Oh and welcome to hubpages. This is really a great place!

    Just finished another Ebay hub. Raining miserable day in the northeast, might as well write hubs.
