How do I build my following here?
I have a few hubs now but next to no following.
I believe that you should publish good hubs, and you will eventually get followers.. Think like this, who would you like to follow? Probably someone who writes about interesting topics or is very expirienced and you could learn something from him..
To build a following you have to be prepared to put in a little time making comments on hubs, giving answers to questions, following a forum thread and generally giving feedback and praise (or criticism) where you think necessary.
Read hubs that are of interest to you and start to build mutual relationships. Write hubs on topics you are passionate about and other hubbers will read them and comment, or even follow you. HubPages is a very responsive community and you'll find that as time goes by you'll get people following. Best of luck.
Do you read, comment and follow others? Don't overdo it, but it is a good idea to start to make connections by participating in the hubpages community. Plus, you want to be sure to write good quality hubs.

Dear staff, is there anything that can be done to the feed where I can choose not to receive notice of hubs shared by other hubbers? There are people who share every hub they read. If I want to read a hub or follow someone I will. I don't need to see all those hubs of people I don't even know in my...

I was quite stunned a week or more ago when someone made a statement on one of my hubs that she had commented twice and I had snubbed her by not replying. Her comment had been particularly flattering, and probably because I've spent a lifetime being flattered by others only to find that they wanted...

I have an odd situation. When someone comments on one of my Hubs that's on a niche site or on discover.hubpages.com, I can't create a reply comment. It logs me out of the site, and when I try to log into the niche or discover site it sends me back to the old hubpages.com. There's some sort of bug....
