I am under 18 but to do the earnings you have to provide tax information. Im not sure how to do this without a social security or tax information.
Hi Drew,
In order to write on HubPages, you must be at least 18 years of age. I recommend trying other writing sites like Helium or Triond that allow people under 18 to create an account.
Funny how in today's society we have simple access to a vast wealth of information yet many services still set an age limit on what kids (who, btw are often more knowledgeable than many older writers) are banned from because of a technicality in the quantity of years they've been alive rather than the quality of their experience and determination.
Nothing prevents him from posting online in any of many other sites. But Hubpages is reasonable to prefer someone old enough for the terms of service to be legally binding.

If you do, how is search traffic to your articles there? Has there been a recent change from the Google Panda or Penguin updates? Would you recommend this site to other writers?

I often see forum posts about how the site is 'dying', or asking why people would continue writing here after they've earned success on their own websites. So I thought I'd start a thread about WHY people still write here. To start, here are some of my reasons (I haven't written much in the past...
