It should have sufficient text material and should answer the question asked in the title if your hub is related to methodology, process or procedure.

Some of the requests may be interesting to few people only. Furthermore,hubs answering requests may not generate revenue if these hubs are viewed only by hubbers. main reason for this lies in the fact that hubbers are reluctant to click an ad on a hubpage.

14. When you have created sufficient number of hubs, make a blog on other sites like blogger or wordpress providingl inks to all of your huns

Make your introductory paragraph in the hub as much interesting as you can do. This introductory statement of the first paragraph of your hub is the most important part of your hub both in public and search engine's eyes. So don't write it in a casual manner and keep it modifying till you find it most suitable.
