Greetings to you, whoever you are!
be you from near or from far

come and join the select band
accept an invitation from Quicksand

have you ever written an essay?
has writing ever been your forte?

can you describe an event well?
a little better than show and tell?

if you have the knack to write some sense,
in the present, past or future tense,

then use that talent to your advantage
do not bother about your age

if ethics is well set in your mind
to write an article of any kind

write, noble scribe, write,
you have all the right to write

write like hell, write for fun
on any topic under the sun

be it on science or on technology
history, geography or even psychology

come, join hub pages
men and women of all ages

your first step is to click on a link
and the form will load in just a wink

provided you have a speedy Internet connection
oh! dial-up is simply an abomination

enrolling with hub pages is free
as they do not charge any fee

all you need is a computer or a laptop with an Internet connection
and the ability to write, although not really to perfection

join soon and submit your very first essay
your opinion, view, experience, just have your say

thanks to the brilliance of our members,
growing by the day in numbers

hub pages is a storehouse for information
supplied by participants from every nation

so it is up to you to share your knowledge
even if you are from a remote village

tell us all what you know
help our knowledge base to grow

but whats in it for me, you may ask
well, just think of writing as your primary task

when you submit your essay to hub pages
do not think only of the wages

if you are one who has achieved fame
you need not even tell us your name

anonymous you can forever remain
on any server and domain

nobody's gonna ask you your name
well, that's the way we hubbers play the game

you need not even submit your photograph
an image of part of your face would be enough

not enough to recognize you though
nobody's gonna ask for more

hub pages is a storehouse for knowledge
even if you've already been to college

you can learn something new every day
not even a cent do you need to pay

be part of the great hub community
as this enables making friends from many a city

who we call hubbers are actually members of hub pages
made up of students, professionals and even budding sages

you as a hubber can have your own fan club
that will attract members who like your hub

a fellow hubber who likes your essay
will become your fan as if to say

I really like the way you write
and would like to keep you in sight

whenever you write a new hub and hit publish
your fans will be informed, as that is their wish

an e-mail will be instantly sent to each and every fan
that's the way you gain popularity, man!

frankly what's in it for me you will say
you know, some money could even come your way

every time you write a hub and publish it online
some of the income generated by that hub will be thine

each page you publish will carry advertisements
and that is how you make dollars and cents

sixty per cent of all the generated revenue
will be passed on to you ... too good to be true?

earning money with ads from google, amazon, eBay, and contera
oh boy! are you not glad to be in the Internet era?

there are some hubbers who make a lot of money
and there are also those who really don't make any

the latter are ones who write one or two hubs and say
I did not make any money, so why should I stay?

you really need to be able to write and write
and not expect a great income overnight

sticking to the task in hand is indeed a must
like in everything else success does not come first
