HubMob Weekly Topic: Halloween

   Princessaposted 13 years ago

   
   
   A big thanks to all the HubMobsters who made the Health Care HubMob possible last week.  We managed a total of 24 published hubs on the topic.  A special mention to our most prolific HubMobster of the week, rmcrayne who submitted an amazing 6 hubs:
   
   Books That Impacted My Journey to Better Health
   
   Arthritis Relief- Heat Treatment Options
   
   Nothing's Wrong with You- Failure of Healthcare with Auto-Immune Disorders
   
   Healthcare in America- Hurry You're Behind!
   
   Sinusitis- The First Time Western Medicine Failed Me
   
   Treat Your Body Like Your Favorite Car

   We are almost in October, Halloween is coming and people are starting to wonder what costumes to buy, what decorations they need, what to give young trick-or-treaters and what tricks they are planning to play themselves! So this week, like we did last year we are going to hubmob about Halloween.   This is the time to use your e-bay and Amazon capsules to try to make the most profit out of them selling costumes, decorations, party products, chocolates, sweets, tableware, balloons and even Halloween flowers.
   
   Some ideas for a HubMob hub on Halloween are:
   Halloween around the World 
   Costumes
   Decorations
   Haunted Houses & Attractions
   History
   Party Ideas
   Religious Perspective
   Trick or Treating
   Halloween celebrations in theme parks: Disneyland, Disneyworld.
   Preparing a Halloween party for: young children, for teenagers, for adults.
   Halloween foods and drinks
   How to curve a pumpkin
   Homemade Halloween decorations
   Homemade Halloween costumes
   
   
   
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. YOU MUST START YOUR HUB CLICKING THIS LINK.  Choose the Answer the Request green button.  Choose the MAKE A HUB ABOUT IT option. 
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your Hub to get a good ranking in the search engines, AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/question/21646/hubm … ew&rss
   
   4. Add the HubMob graphic to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
   
   5. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   
   If you are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-a-HubMo … o-join-one  please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.
   
   Have a scary time!

It can't get read if people don't know about it.  The HubMob provides fantastic weekly topics, and exposure like crazy.  I highly recommend it.

       What about Halloween celebrations (or the lack of them) in India?.  Here in France, Halloween is not really a big thing at all, at least not in the small villages where the French seem to resist it.  However we have several local festivities like the "fete de la sorcellerie" or witchcraft festivals and the "pumpkins festival".  How is it in your part of the world?

    When I looked at this week's HubMob I initially dismissed it as something I had no interest in, just like the Striving for Perfection HM.  And just like Perfection HM, I again changed my mind!  I found my Halloween pictures from college!  I have included 7 great photos in my hub.

    OK, this is my first attempt at a HubMob Hub. I chose to do one on Halloween Events In New York City because I have great pride in my hometown and there's a lot going on here on that day.

    I also did one on Haunted NYC. I didn't write it to be part of the HubMob initially, but can I turn it into one and submit it?

    Told you I'm hooked!
    
    What's a party without some creepy, mind bending and fun food? 
    This one's easy to make, and not too hard for the weak of stomach to taste:

    It was hard to find something original as there is so much wonderful creativity in this wonderful group!  I'd love to write more about Halloween but I don't see anything that that been left unsaid, but I'll be watching....Happy Spooky Halloween!

    Okay, this is the last for the night, but without frosting on the cake, it just isn't finished!
