Dear hubbers,
as a hubling of two weeks I gingerly offer my advice to any newcomers. For anyone interested in the machinations and earnings I'm afraid I can be of no help - I still don't have a clue.
But what I can say is if you're toying with the idea of letting it all go - don't. Yesterday, a whole world away, I was on the verge of it. And pushed by desperation I faced up to my cyber shyness and put out a message on the forum.
That's what was missing.
Just a few voices out there in cyber space were enough. I'm not writing for my computer alone anymore and I can hear, albeit far off,the bustle of the community. I don't want to sound like a Disney goody but for me getting my first fans was better than anything I could earn. A cheque can't bring you that contact. (But of course it helps with the rent).
So my advice is tentatively put forward - dive into cyber space, the space dusts not that cold.
