What is HubPages?

HubPages is an online community that provides everyday experts like you with the tools to share your knowledge and experiences in a fun and rewarding way. We provide you with an innovative platform to share your knowledge in a way that will help you build a readership and earn you money from ads strategically placed on your Hubs, which are one-page, content-rich topical articles.

HubPages is the best place online to express your interests and passions and earn money from your writing.

Many people join HubPages hoping to use it as an online publishing platform, but our site and community offers much, much more!

• Hubs: Hubs are the topical articles that act as the building blocks of our community. Each Hub is a one-page topical resource created by a Hubber. Hubs are easy to make and can include anything from videos and maps to polls and quizzes.
• Earnings: HubPages splits revenue with Hubbers on an impressions basis from online advertisements (Google AdSense and HubPages' Ad Program). HubPages offers several different ways for you to earn from your Hubs, ranging from contextually-placed ads to Amazon and eBay products. We also host quarterly contests in which you can win anything from $10 to $500 in cash prizes. HubPages disburses earnings via the HubPages Earnings Program.
• Community interaction: While many people join HubPages hoping only to make money, even more stay because of the amazing community present on the site. We have an amazing group of supportive, passionate publishers who comment on each other's work and offer valuable feedback and encouragement.
• Educational Resources: Our FAQ, Learning Center, and Forums are great places to learn about online writing. Whether you are just getting started or looking to sharpen already strong online writing skills, we have a guide for you!
• Topical Communities: We have over 6,000 different Topic Communities on HubPages, complete with their own dedicated Forums and Answers pages.
• Answers: Our Answers feature allows you to ask and answer questions of interest.
• Forums: With over 6,000 Forums, we offer plenty of places to chat with other Hubbers. Want some feedback on your work? Check out the Extreme Hub Makeover Forum!
