What value do hub pages questions add?

Audrey, you can always find value if you are looking for it. Glad to have given you something you value.

Au fait it is my belief that any way to bring traffic to a hub is a good thing. Social sharing is fantastic because people know what was written was worth reading by at least one person.

I don't know about today, in the past though questions have been found on page ones of Google and other search engines. The two most important questions are will readers come and will they stay to finish the article? It doesn't matter where the traffic comes from as long as they stay and read. What I personally like best is when someone like you leaves a relevant comment and there is social sharing.

When a person is new and even at times as a person progresses into writing on Hub pages questions are going to arise. Although you can earn in an MLM fashion most writers have very little to no contact with those who join through their link.

With the question section there is an easy way to find the answers. There are many experienced hubbers who are willing to share what they have learned.

Thanks for taking the time to visit our hub and leave a comment Careermommy.

Questions answered are how people learn. In our business most questions are answered with questions asked by us. This makes the person think and come up with their own answer. What we find is most people actually know the answer, they just can't frame it. Sometimes our questions are "Does this make sense?" "Do you see the benefit of this?" Or "How do you grasp a prospective customers attention?"

Thanks AudreyHowitt for your input.

How can anyone learn without asking questions? When I first started writing I learned by making every mistake in the book. The idea of going to a forum to ask questions intimidated me. I like it that I or any newbie has to go to a forum to get a question answered.

My first articles were published on Hub pages. I had an ezine article awaiting approval when my first two hubs were published. To date with the ezine article which was published I have 3 to go to be an expert in that field. It no longer matters because I am an expert in my current field. Thanks Vickiw for dropping by and your wonderful comment.

Interesting twist on my writers nickname. I share love daily, both online and off. The questions I ask on hub pages are only asking for information which increases the value of hub pages for everyone.

Thanks midget38 for your very different comment. It put a smile on my face.

I have no idea how many hubs were written in response to questions asked even before the way they are asked changed. This article will never be found on any search engine other than the internal hub pages one. So you could say I will never really earn from it.

Although I do earn on hub pages it is not my main concern. I will never be able to repay those who helped me improve my writing as well as writing style, so pay it forward.

Thank you for the comment and share ishwaryaa22 . I enjoy reading your work.

When I ask a question, which isn't frequently, I ask because I want an answer. I word it in such a way that it grabs the attention of the person who will have the answer I need. When I first joined hub pages I was not good at it. Lately I am getting one answer which has always been the answer I asked for.

Hub pages is a world unto itself. There are many things we can't learn without reading a thousand hubs or asking a question, which can be answered by the person writing the hub. I have actually created hubs in answer to questions.

Thank you Brett and SG for dropping by and your wonderful comments and shares.

I only ask questions when there is something I want to know. If I receive an answer and the question is removed it doesn't matter. This is as long as the question is answered with something I can use. So far I have received the information I was looking for.

Thanks innerspin for your time and comment.

From the beginning we understood that questions were for learning. The questions we do answer add value to hub pages users overall. As far as asking questions no one here does unless we need to learn something.

For the most part reading the hubs of others has taught us more than we ever learned by asking a question. In the past we would talk to other hubbers before asking questions. This is harder now as we are no longer seeing an in house email system.

Thanks Nell Rose for taking the time to read and comment.

Sometimes a simple question is the one we need answered. It is my belief as much as possible they should be questions which actually relate to learning what people on hub pages need answers for. It is simple enough to earn without relying on questions. It is hard at times without relying on answers though. Thank you Becky for your comment.

Just make sure your questions are information you need to make your hubbing experience a more educated one. Hub pages questions were originally designed to save time for the hub pages staff. The questions you ask should be those which require answers which would help all hubbers.

The idea is for hubbers with experience to help the newer hubbers. This saves time by hubbers not sending in help tickets. Thank you for your comment midget38 I hope it helps people understand what the question section is really for.

Anything we do which increases the value of our work is to our advantage. Hub pages gives us many ways to increase the value of our craft. Questions are just one of them. Thanks emmitthoeft for dropping by and leaving a comment.

Questions are to your advantage. They create a link where others can find your work. They also provide ways to improve your skills. In some cases they give you a subject for a new hub. Thank you for your comment flashmakeit.
