Not yet. But, I have been reading up on it. From what I have read it's very 'rigorous'. But it's an easier way to make money and learn at the same time. I would love to participate, but I really need to have more time. And I'm one who takes several days if not weeks just to publish one hub.
What I don't want to is to procrastinate. I think I've only been able to begin something and finish it just once. And for the most part because it was something easy for me to do, and because I loved doing it.
I don't like being reminded of 'how hard' it is going to be. Not that I always take the easy way out but ughh, come on, kep me motivated!! Don't kill the enthusiasm. This is why I've stuck to working in hospitality and have been in the customer service field and tech support. I love helping people and there is always an opportunity to spread encouragement and motivation. I'm usually very enthusiastic and I'm always looking for ways to keep things alive!
I can understand Hubpages reserve for those who are committed though. I mean wow, they are paying for it so not only are they serious for your to learn, but also serious about your success. I really want to see some success stories come from it before I apply. And even then I don't know if I will be accepted, but hey like anyone I'm curious. And hope it not only empowers and educates, but also helps those who join not only get paid by hubpages, but also enjoy the fruit of their labor from other avenues.
I applied but didn't get accepted, which didn't surprise me. I wanted to participate so I could get some 1-1 tutoring and 'hand holding' on keywords and SEO. But I knew when I applied that my following and publishing record weren't strong. So...I continue to muddle along best I can and am working on publishing more often. Not sure if I'll apply again. This would have been an optimum time since I would have been not teaching for the majority of the 6 month program.
No, but it's interesting, actually. I might try to apply if I have the time to write as it requires sometime, I think.

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!

Did anybody hate the apprenticeship program?One third of the first class dropped out. I understand that it was mostly because of the rigors of the program and personal time constraints. However, I've seen nothing but praise so far. I'd like to hear from someone who didn't like the program. Maybe if...

Is there anyone who makes a decent living from writing on HubPages?I don't want to know amounts or anything like that I just want to know if there are writers who make a living from writing on HubPages. When I say a decent living I mean they don't have to supplement it by working on other sites...

Why wasn't I accepted into the Apprenticeship Program?I've noticed a lot of people talking about being accepted into the program and I'm just wondering why they passed me up? I have good quality hubs and I'm so eager to learn more. Tips, anyone? Has anyone else been rejected?
