Improvisational Hubbing

As I'm staring at this blank screen in front of me, I have no idea whatsoever about what I'm going to write. I just made the decision to become a more active hubber, so I figured "why not start now?"

I'm generally good at improvising, and I'm literally making this up as I write, and it's fine so far I guess.

I'd consider myself fairly creative, I'm a blogger, and I'm pretty much forced to be creative. I'm heavily into the Personal Development and manifesting, law of attraction, wealth consciousness (etc) scene, and I've been studying that sort of stuff for several years now. This has expanded my mind greatly, and that's one of the reasons for enhanced creativity.

My personal development blog is called Lemonarian Life, feel free to check it out. If you've been online for more than three minutes you should have realized that that was a link. If not, you can paste http://lemonarian.net into your browser address bar and hit Enter.

Creativity in improvising

Just came up with that title, and that'd force me to say something interesting that'd be related to that.

As a personal development writer, I'd say that creativity is as hard as you want it to be. I know a kid at school who lags behind a lot in Swedish class (I'm in Sweden). We often write stories and such during class, and he's usually not even half-finished by the end of the class. His excuse is that he doesn't know what to write, that he doesn't have any ideas. That's one of the reasons I made this hub in the first place... I mean, just start! There's nothing stopping you. Do it now, think later.

I RARELY think writing tasks through before I start writing. Most of my blog post start as a single idea, a single word or two, then it just comes to me. When writing, for me it's quantity over quality at first. Then you just cut out the bad parts and keep the quality parts. Just start writing that you're halfway there.

Speaking of creativity, I just found an entire site entirely dedicated to creativity. It's pretty cool, so check it out. So here, CreativityForLife, here's a backlink for you, hehe. <click>

And what the HELL is wrong with that URL thingy? You only see like, a fifth of the window... See?

Weird URL Add feature thingy screenshot

Yay, another improvised text capsule!

Hah, I like the "move capsule" feature. It's way better than the one on Squidoo, as you always have to reload the lensmaster workshop...

If you couldn't tell by my other, more promotional (but not entirely :P) hubs, I'm also an internet marketer, and that's yet another reason for becoming a more active hubber. An additional source of income. I hear some people are making thousands every month from their hubs.

When I found this out, I was like "Daamn, I gotta start taking this thing more seriously!". An extra thousand bucks every months wouldn't be too bad, and my adsense account could really use a little boost.

As for making money online, I'm an affiliate marketer, a beginner affiliate marketer, and this is because Iove the idea of "bum marketing", i.e.Making money online without having to cough up any of your own, if you don't want to.

Enough is enough.

Improvising only gets you so far. I feel this hub is very diffuse and sort of random and I'm going off course here like I'm just rambling on into the fiery pits of nothingness... See?

So yeah, I'm gonna stop writing in just a sec, and I could find something complementary on youtube.

So hey, I hoped you enjoyed reading this hub, which was built up completely from scratch and developed while it was written.

I invite you to stop by my Internet Marketing blog and My Personal Development blog if you're interested in any of those subjects. You can find links to them in the capsule below. Thanks.

Here's a video from a great speaker by the name of Brian Tracy.

I think that sometimes we do need to JUST DO IT! I used to buy into that "I got to be inpired" thingee but NO WAY! You just have to dive in and do it sometimes. It is a creative process and sometimes diving in will alllow the words to just flow, and sometimes, there won't be any- but we won't know unless we try!Good hub "on the fly!"

  • School is evil

    I’m completely serious with that… They educate you to become an employee. That’s why. Why is that so “evil”? Think about it. No wonder people have money problems. Mass brainwashing… Zeitgeist, anyone? Sorry for the cryptic post… some people will know what I mean. That’s all.

  • Holy crap

    I’m sure you’ve been hearing the buzz lately about Mind Movies… these are getting popular again. I was kind of skeptical to it at first, because I didn’t think you could internalize something like that just for watching a 2 minute movie once a day. Last week: I heard about the Mind Movies thing springing up again and [...] - 2 months ago

  • Seth Godin rocks

    No I was just browsing over at Seth Godin’s blog, and came across this post about the “secret” to the web. Obviously he meant the secret to making a name for yourself on the web, something I’m slowly but steadily doing right now… So here’s the post… he’s just begging for people to link to this and [...] - 3 months ago

  • Magic Words…

    Just came to think of this… Two words… that make people buy…? Think about it, what are pretty much everyone that’s looking to buy for, looking for?
