Can you charge someone to write a Hub for them?
Can you create a Hub for someone, say to do a product review, and charge them for creating the article as long as you follow HubPages guidelines and make it not overly promotional, by adding other links within the Hub?
I am not 100% certain, but there should be nothing stopping you from being paid by another user to write a hub for them - as this is a basic transaction, money in return for the rights to a piece of writing. However, always best to check the guidelines, but I doubt they would care, since they have no reason to.
One problem though, I doubt there is much of a market at all on here for selling Hubs - as most Hubbers won't want to buy articles that are not written in their style and articles that they are unsure of the earning potential. Hope this helps.
I actually had a freelance article writing client ask me to write an article then they put it on HubPages. At the time I accepted the job, I didn't know where the articles would be going!
If someone wants to pay you to do their writing for them, and the transaction is such that the client retains the copyrights to the work, then they have the right to do with it as they see fit.
How it works, is that when clients retain writing services, they actually have the rights to the work, unless some other agreement is reached to share the rights or something like that.
I am not a lawyer, nor am I an expert on HubPage Rules, but it all seems reasonable.

I'm not even sure what that means. I have almost no links on anything, only 1 even has an amazon capsule, and I don't even know how to "keystuff" (it was listed on possible promotional items list). A friend told me maybe they think my content is generated by A.I. Well, it's not. I...

Someone recently stated that there are limits to how much you can link to your own hubs. Does anybody know the limitations?

My article on the stupidity of E.U rules and regulations which was written with great sarcasm has been flagged as being "over promotional" One can only assume because of the repetition of the wording which is needed for the article to work. Unfortunately your algorithms can not understand...

I am planning to write hubs for my crochet earrings patterns. The crochet patterns will be written in a separate hub for each earrings. But I plan to write a hub which will serve as an umbrella for all these patterns. Will this umbrella hub be classified as "Overly Promotional" if...

My Take on Hub Pages. It's alright for them to take our content and just add whatever type of adds they want. Why? Because when someone reads ""our content"" and clicks on one of these adds, Hub Pages makes money. Yes you say, they share it with us. The Truth! Hub...
