How much time do you spend on Hub Pages each day?
- JThomp42posted 11 years ago
0 I just wondered if I was the only one always on the computer
It all depends on the hub. I try to write exclusives in my genre, and those tend to be a bit more tricky than if I came up with my own title. I've just started writing for HP in January, so it's only been two months. Currently, I have two days carved out for writing hubs with 2-3 hours penciled in. It does take me longer than that on some days, especially if I'm doing research. If I don't finish in my 2-3 hours allotted, I then spend some of my free time in the evenings and weekends finishing up. I'm trying to write 8-10 hubs per month. I hope as I get more use to having HP in my daily schedule, I will be organized and the words will flow much easier. However, I do come in to HP for enjoyment at other times to read questions like yours.
Good morning, Cantuhearmescream. I am also a newbie and joined the Apprenticeship program. Sign up for it, as you will most definitely get a lot from it and be rewarded.
They definitely guide and build on that guidance each month. They encourage you to pick Exclusives for topics, but you can get approval for your own. There are many Exclusives in different genres, so you should be able to find what you want.
As the song goes, "you've only just begun" ..
It's addictive. Isn't it, Paul? I love it!
Whether I'm "on HubPages" or just my computer is "on HubPages" are two different things. Unless I have reason not to, I most often have a window up for HubPages. I work from home, so if I have projects that I'm working on it breaks things up for me to pop on and off HP and see if anything new has shown up that interests me for a few minutes. I don't do anything on sites like Facebook or Google+, so HP makes a handy place where some "new little thing" might go on "in the outside world" that interests me.
When I don't have projects that I'm working on (or other stuff to do, work or not) I'll spend more than the throughout-the-day snippets of time on HubPages. I don't write many Hubs per month, but that's when I may use a couple of hours to write a Hub. OR, on a day when I've decided to "do nothing" and "just be a vegetable" I may come to the "Answers" section here and see what questions "inspire" me to come up with something. It's not quite the waste of time that it can seem, because sometimes I get ideas for writing something other than a Hub; and, if nothing else, I'll always save whatever answer I come up with in case I want to use it somewhere else for something. It's kind of my way of taking the occasional day off to "be a vegetable" while still having the possibility of getting ideas/inspiration for writing. On those "do-nothing" days I leave the HP window as the one where I spend more time and go back to other windows for that "scanning" for other interesting stuff or other stuff I might want to do.
So, in spite of the fact that my computer spends a lot of time with a window up for HubPages, and in spite of the fact that I generally pop on and off HubPages all through most days (at different times), I seldom spend much uninterrupted time on the site just writing Hubs (and with the new emphasis on Hubs aimed at search engines, rather than at humans who browse for reading I really don't do much Hub-reading at all these days. I do scan when I pop on or off HP, but finding reading is trickier these days).
So, in answer to the question: Sort of most of the time most days, but also pretty much no uninterrupted time ever these days. To further complicate things, my work load changes from one day/month to the next (which is, I guess, why I've settled into my very flexible "plan" of leaving the HP window open. (An alternative to looking out a "real world" window throughout the day. )Hmm, well, that's an answer then
Ah ha, glad I could keep you here
. I wish I had a smart phone!

Just gaging anyone else's earnings here. I just checked google adsense and I have earned 64 dollars in 18 months. I've only written 19 Hubs and most of them don't get any traffic. Any thoughts?
