What inspired you to join hubpages?
Who told you about it or where did you find it?
My friend told me she was starting a health blog and it piqued my curiosity. I asked her about it, and she told me about Wordpress and Blogger. I did some research and stumbled upon Hubpages. I liked the sound of a community of writers sharing hubs and information. Also, the chance to improve my skills as a writer was very appealing to me. Hubs and articles are a style of writing I don't have very much experience with.
Elsewhere, I read about a silly fib that Aussies enjoy telling American tourists. It's about a fictitious animal, called a Dropbear. I googled on the subject, and found that the Drop-bear article at Hubpages was the only one that contained a picture. That simple fact spoke volumes about the quality of the articles here.
I was searching on the internet for ghostwriting websites, after a bit of ill luck, I stumbled on this website, looked it over, read some articles, and also read some of the success stories, and thought fantastic, I want a piece of the action, so I signed up.
I read reviews about community writing websites and decided to join hubpages after most reviews were positive. I liked the idea of belong to a writer's community where I will be able to network with other writers and at the same time earn some money.
2 friends told me about it and said it would be good for me to join it. So thank you author Kt Banks and Stan Fletcher who many of you Im sure are already following..
