Hi, I am fairly new to hubpages and have recently been nominated as a hubnugget however I am looking to take the hubs I have and make them the best they can be before I move on and do other hubs. I was wondering if anyone could give me general tips on how to improve hubs or give specific tips relating to my hubs. Any help is greatly appreciated
Congrats on the nomination. I'll give them a look when I get a chance. BTW, like the "41" after your name.
very easy to help you out.
just search this site for How to improve you hub, hubs.
There are a lot written by very experienced hubbers with excellant info.
one caveat - check the ones from hubbers with at least 6 mths. experience first, they have "been there - done that"
Fireatwill, your Hubs are excellent - great start!
I notice in your "Blind Drawing" Hub, you say you'll be back to add exercises. I suggest you don't - the Hub is already long enough. Instead, write a second Hub and link to the first one.
One tip: if you're hoping to earn from your Hubs, have a short first text capsule, then move your first illustration/photo down next to your second text capsule. The top right-hand corner is the prime position for an Adsense ad so you should always try to allow space for it. (I wish I could tell you how long the first text capsule needs to be to trigger the ad - I just play around and check the Preview until it works!).
I took your advice and moved things around in my hub Blind Contour Drawing so that that ad space was taken up. Thank you for your help .
I think I am going to make a separate hub simply entitled Drawing Exercises and post all the new drawing exercises I learn. Again thank you for your help!
Anyone else want to critique my hubs?

Hi All,When I first started I read a Hub or saw in the forum that it was frowned upon to add a self-promotional link to one of my hubs in another Hubbers comments section! For example a comment like:I like your hub on belly fat. Now see my hub on beauty with the link included in the...

Need help with my Hub score?Since joining HubPages, my personal hub score has varied between 89 to 82. One day it will be close to 90 and a couple days later it will be in the low 80s. A hub that peaked around 90 could show up today at 56. I participate as much as I can with comments, thumbs up,...

Hey everyone, I am a little confused about one of Hubpage's rules on writing hubs and I am sure you can give me the answer. I started to write a hub on Blackjack strategies. Some people can argue that this is about gambling money and that is fine, but my hub is not about making or gambling money....
