0Ahhh thats what I have been doing wrong!
Why hasn't anyone told me before now!
There's a lot of great hubs here to help one learn how to maximize their potential, so my advice will be that which you might not find elsewhere ...
Write at least 10 hubs a month and don't worry about your profits until you are about 4 months into things. It definitely takes time to get things moving ... and like a locomotive in motion it keeps moving once it gets on the tracks.
The most important things to search the hubs for are 'keyword research' and how to use the various capsules to design your hubs.
I hope this helps.

Welcome to hubpages! Some tips...chat with ppl in the forums, let them get to know you. NEVER self-promote your hubs in the threads...it's a no-no. Have fun when writing your hubs, add a bit of yourself to them if yu can. Write on topics yu find interesting and would like to share with others. Don't be afraid to ask questions in the forums, someone I am sure will answer you!
And again HAVE FUN!

Welcome to HubPages!!
Take some time to look around and read some hubs from some of the more established hubbers. Stay active in the forums and comment on hubs. And, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the "need help" forum or type the topic into the search bar at the top of the page - mtsi1098posted 14 years ago0
Never go to battle in a forum if you do not know what you are talking about. lololo Enjoy! Welcome!
Welcome to HubPages
Use search for questions in traffic, adsense, etc. The first thing to understand is that hubs are not like blog posts. They are more like articles and should finished works. I like this because it means that you can write about all sorts of topics here easily. A good blog is one that is on a topic and all the posts are related to that topic and I find this rather limiting. I just can't think of a topic that I could continually post to and to be honest I can't think of a blog topic that I would be interesting in reading either! I do not want to have to keep coming back to learn what the author knows and would rather all that info be there to read on my first visit. I am a lot more likely to want to read what that author knows on other topics when they produce good articles.
You do create a new hub each time you want to write about something, it can be on a totally different topic to your other hubs or can be about a different aspect of a large topic, like the outdoors. With a topic like that you wouldn't have just one article but would have different articles about different aspects of the outdoors like camping or hiking or canoeing.
The key to success here at hub pages is to write write write and make sure people will get something from reading what you write. Its hard work sometimes but its very rewarding and loads of fun! Nothing like getting a lovely comment about what you wrote!
You're getting some good advice here - I'd like to add, don't self-promote by leaving your link when you make a comment on someone else's hubs

Suggestion: Open discussion for hubs!
I still think comments should be comments, not discussions, that is the purpose of a forum. Maybe it would be a good idea that every author has a forum automatically made in a widget on there profile page and the topics are always the title of the Hub. That way you can discuss it and always edit...
