What is a better approach? To write hubs on very different topics or to stay focused on one or...
two topics? One can observe two appoaches, some are very selective and write in a very narrow and specalized area and others write in very diverse areas. Which is better ?Why?
Diversity is a wonderful thing. You can always pick a topic, that is usually a sub-topic of your original content. Example: I have a hub based on morality, but I have also defined life in a different hub, and it mentions morals.
Hope that helped.
I think the best approach is to write hubs that move you whether that is one subject or many. It is very difficult to write good hubs that are rich in detail if the subject matter is not of interest to you. When you have passion for a subject, it shows in your writing and adds a dimension that other writings don't have.
In my experience, writing clusters of related hubs within a larger topic can be very effective, traffic-wise. Make sure you link them all together to pass around the link-love.
However, you don't want to burn out. If you get tired of writing about one thing, try another subject. It may turn into its own series of hubs... or not. Either way, it's better to get it out there than leave it unpublished.
I personally believe it bothers on the individual's objective and interests. If the objective of the writer is to educate or inform his readers on a particular subject matter of interest to him, then such a person may choose to stay focused on one TOPIC or SUBJECT of his/her expertise.
If on the other hand, one just feels like hubbing for a hobby then in that case one may choose to write on any topic of interest at any time. Thereby resulting in one writing on very different topics always.
The bottom line however is that none can be said to be better except that the one who writes on one topic becomes an authority in that topic and gets consistent readers and followers who have an interest in that topic.

Is it better to write hubs all in one niche or write about different things?So far, I have 13 Hubs published. I have been jumping around on topics, writing about what I am inspired to do some research on that day. I do have several focused on drug addiction, though. I wonder, is it better to write...

Writing has always been my way of talking when no-one is listening so finding HubPages is as good as picking up the phone and knowing there is someone on the other end of the line.My problem is that I have so much to write about I don't know what my niche is or if I even want one. What do you think...

This was a nice experiment, but I've ultimately concluded that this site blows. The two competing interests are making money and writing quality articles. Mind you, I've written a handful of stellar hubs, yet I haven't a penny to show for it. Sure, I have about 100 or so impressions on AdSense, but...

Assuming you care to be visible to big G.1. Start with a niche topic that can get a lot of search results. Use the adword keyword tool to find it. If you don't know what that is google "adword keyword tool". 2. Make a hub based on that topic that is somewhat broad concerning that...

I am new here but am challenging myself to write 7 hubs in 7 days on 7 different topics. I am hoping to broaden my writing skills, keep things interesting and force myself to write out of my comfort zone.Anyone wish to join me??

I've read a lot about the importance of doing keyword research, but then you also get the impression that to really do that research properly can take a long time unless you get lucky early on or really know what you are doing. So I wonder, with some people pumping out huge amounts of hubs, are...
