Am I in the right place....sort of?
The best way to go is to simply start writing and publishing articles. Use the information you find in the Learning Center and such. Look at the layout of other hubs (articles) and then go for it. That is how I started on HubPages. Trial and error.
I have been writing quite some time on my own sites as well as other sites, but this is my first at publishing on a platform such as this.
Good luck and welcome to HubPages.Once you finalize your hub and "publish" it, it has become published for the world to see. You can promote it in various ways and mentioned in various topics and help subjects on the site. Sometimes, but rarely, it will simply take off. As for a life of it's own, I have seen that happen with several of my hubs. The right people at the right time share them, or something is making the topic popular in searches and such.
Reading up is the best advice I can give. Overall, once learned, with experience behind you of a few hubs, it becomes easy to publish material. The harder part is coming up topics and words in the proper order to create a great hub. I am still learning. I do believe the learning experience will only stop when this life cycle stops for me on this planet.
Coming up with topics is not hard if one just sort of pays attention to day to day happenings. Most of my topics will be spur of the moment ideas as things take place around me in the course of a day.
The success of an author on HubPages is to write a lot of hubs. The more you write, the more you will earn. Also this will play an important aspect should you pursue Google Authorship and such.
