Tips to start off your first hub

The first and foremost thing that you want to do when starting out on HubPages as with any site is to figure out what kind of content that you want to supply. If you know a lot about cooking, then that might be the one direction that you head. If you know a lot about fishing, then that might be the angle. It all goes down to what you know about.

In cases like mine, where there is a little that you know about a lot, then looking for REQUEST to answer would be the key of where to go. In cases like this it is easier to build a following because the people that place the request generally read what you write. Also other people like myself that answer a lot of the request will also go in and at least read your answers.

When you figure out the direction of which way to go, the next steps is putting one of these together. I can remember when I started out I left so much out of my HUBS that it hurt me more than it helped. It is so important to add pictures, videos if you have them about what you are writing, relevant links, and ad capsules. More things like this will push your ratings up which will in turn bring more readers to you.

The thing that you want to know is someone does not want to come out to read 1 or 2 paragraphs that is composed of 50 words or less. You want to make sure that you get as detailed as possible, supplying your "customers" with the meat and potatoes of your HUB. This will satisfy their appetite and when they want to get "fed", they will come back looking for you.
