How did you come to know that Hub Pages Exist on the web?
I came across it when I was on Facebook one day. It came at the perfect time too because I had just really decided to turn my writing into my career.....finally.
Good for you. Hope Hub Pages is just the start for your writing career.
I wasn't looking for it, cos I'm not a writer. The link sort of came up from somewhere on the internet on a search engine and I'm glad I spotted it.
I was hooked up by an excellent writer that writes under JanieWrites. She gave me the information at a cool little site called Writers Hall.
I typed in "sweepstakes" and got Sunstreek's hub...great advice. I continued reading and here I am.
Daughter-in-law told me ,then she moved on
(but me thinks her curiousity probably pops in an out) hehe
After writing for Triond creatively, I search Google and found hubpages as well as ehow. I also read links and found Squidoo when one writer decided to compare hubpages with Squidoo.
I surfed onto one of pgrundy's hubs right after I'd quit my newspaper job. Think it was the one about making money writing on the internet. I thought hubpages looked cool, so I joined! 8 or so months later, I'm kinda addicted, even though I now have a full time writing job.
I was searching the web for some information. And Hub Pages kept on coming in results again and again. This is how I found it.
If I remember right it was on another writers site- Print N/ Post or it was at Yuwie, one of them. It was one of the click ads though, I do remember that.
I was taking a social marketing course called SMARTS and they told us (students) about it. 'Course, they also talked about Twitter, Squidoo, Ezine Articles, TubeMogul, and others as well. I immediately thought Twitter was absolutely ridiculous and still do, as in "get a life'. Did use TubeMogul constantly to shotgun my music videos to the Net until last week when I quit songwriting. (Temporarily, just until I can get my "regular" writing to point of actually producing measurable monthly income.)
When it came to the writing sites, the others were "uh-h-h, okay-y-y..." but just didn't trip my trigger. HubPages felt like home and still does.
I don't quite understand the use of Twitter. It seems ridiculous to me also.
Here is a detailed hub on How I found it out and joined Hub Pages. I thought I better write it in detail.

Hi! My name is James Holiday and I am Brand new to Hub Pages. I am trying to find some friends and try to relate with them and they relate to me. I am a friendly person and I love people.
I found out about this new way of communicating from Charlie Page. I became a Directory of Ezines lifetime member about two years ago. I didn't realize how full of information was there for me to use. I thank you for listening and hope that we can be friends. thanks alot

How did you find out about Hubpages?I stumbled upon Squidoo about two months ago. I was finding it difficult because I didn't know html and then I read an article comparing Hubpages to Squidoo.. so I did, and the rest as they say is history. I love it here. I don't have to do html...

If you search Squidoo, you get a block that tells you Squidoo is Now Hub Pages. Talk about misleading.

I have been on Hub Pages about a year and I have written about 27 Hubs and they have received close to 5000 views, which I felt was not bad and my status hovers between 82-88. Last week I had about 8 of my Hubs featured, which again seemed ok. Now magically overnight, I have all these codes now...
