Avoid writing hubs for

Money and only for money

There are so many blogs and social media networks to write articles, exchange ideas, share photos and videos, chat and get inspired. My experience after creating two hub pages is - creating hub pages is fun and easy. Navigation is easy and you can watch your own progress on the score board on word count and adding other media like video, photos and links. You can watch the score board to see whether your article stands out for featured or not. After developing different capsules it is easy to shift them from place to place, text and photo side by side or video and photo. Every text content can be supported with a photo or poll or quiz or table. This web rich template keeps the visitor on your blog for a long time, thus popularity, traffic, money and success. Hope you understand why my statement 'Creating Hub pages' is worth a try
