It seems that hubbers take more interest in Q&A activities as compared to writing hubs. Is there any reasoning behind?
I think one of the reasons why people seem to participate in Q/A activities more is that this can be a good way how to get some exposure or find some interesting people to follow.
You post a question - someone responds in such a delightful way that you just MUST know more about this person. So you look into their profile, possibly browse through their hubs, and maybe even send them some comments or start to follow them, if you like their writing. And it all started just by you asking a question.
(Just a note - this was NOT meant as begging for pageviews, tehee!)
I'm not. I've answered more than 100 but probably less than 200 questions while. Current published Hub count is over 1,250.
Can't speak for the rest.
I'm not sure this comment is true. I see hubbers writing many articles every day. I only answer questions (or ask them) when I want to take a break from writing.
Because writing Hubs takes a lot of effort. Answering questions is much easier and less time consuming. I write hubs when I have a few hours to spare. I answer questions when I only have a few minutes to spare.
Some stats: I have written 238 Hubs so far. Don't know how many questions answered.
I find the Q & A to be helpful in a few different ways. When I ask a question it is because I would like to know what others think on any given topic. When I read answers from like minded people I then have an opportunity to review their bios and look over some of their articles and hopefully become one of their followers. Finally, if there appears to be an interest in the question asked, then this may be the foundation for writing a Hub around that particular subject. So, in reality, while it may seem as though there is more interest in asking and asking questions, it may very well be just a stepping stone of sorts to create a more involved and time consuming article.
My work schedule has greatly impaired my hub-writing since joining the site. I will hop hubs or answer questions to try to remain connected to the community. I have also picked up some good suggestions from questions posted as far as time management is concerned...so that I can perhaps write more hubs and generate more traffic to them.
I think it must be the personal interest of certain hubbers to choose writing or Q&A.

I was on another thread and someone said many people sign up on HubPages, but very few go on to write a substantial number of quality Hubs.I wonder why this is and what HubPages can do to encourage people to stay on and improve their Hubs, which seems to be what they want.All my Hubs were recently...

I want to write a lot of hubs (compared to what I wrote last year) this year. But the main hurdle is that I feel like I ran out of ideas or cannot create good ideas for new hubs.I come with some ideas, but they end up being too general or not good for online search. I try to think of more specific...

Okay I have employed just about every piece of advise I managed to get from other successful hubbers so let's see if there is any difference. I have:researched key words and embedded them into my hubs. researched the products and for most of them have tested them. I am trying out different niches...
