Last Chance to Enter

We've had an incredible time reading great Hubs during the 5-week HubPot Challenge, and we hope you have too! If you still haven't entered the challenge, your last chance is this Sunday at midnight. Robin and I can't wait to read your best.

If you haven't entered because you can't figure out what to write about (or if you've entered a ton of Hubs and run out of ideas), you may want to consider some of next quarter's hot topics. Historically, these topics have had higher CPMs in April, May, and June, and our friends at Google Adsense expect that trend to continue in 2014. Since many of the recommended topics are seasonal, they are also more current and shareable on social media. Take a look and maybe one of the topics will catch your eye. :)

For more info on quarter 2 hot topics, check out the Blog post:
