How long have you been on HubPages; do you like it just for the writing experience, or for cash?
I have been on HubPages actively for about three months, but mainly it's for the writing experience and to see how people like how I put my Hubs together, and my topics. I guess I am just "feeling it out" for now.
I honestly started for the money aspect, but as I love to write I quite enjoy the writing experience and practice it provides.
Cash would be nice, but I learned pretty quickly that this site is not a get-rich-quick scheme by any means. However, I have always enjoyed writing and this site has provided a nice easy-to-use outlet for my deranged ramblings, so I treat it as a hobby/something to do in my spare time. If I eventually get a payout, that'd be fine too, but I'm not in a hurry.
This is my 7th month on HubPages and I definitely do it for the writing. I love to write, it is one of my passions. As far as the money? I've reached the threshold of 50 dollars, but since HubPages has made changes it will be quite some time before I reach it again. No matter, I just love to write.
I've just passed my seond anniversary on Hub Pages and to be honest, I love it even more than I did in the beginning. I'm making a little cash on the side, but the two things that make Hub Pages for me is the community and the chance to write about topics that I really love. So all in all I would definately say that for me it's the experience more than the money.
As much as I do enjoy learning and writing on HubPages, I'm pretty sure I'll be happier when I eventually get to cashout. That would be the bonus! I've been here over a year now ^_^
Like a lot of other folks, I'm here just for fun. I make my money out in the real world, and stop by the hub pages to unwind from work.
I have been here for almost a year now! I am learning that money will only come after a time of investment. Meanwhile, I can write and get great feedback. Also allows me to build up a port folio for any freelance writing I may drum up. Be sure to check out all the tools that Hubpages has to offer, especially the information about understanding how the SEO works. This is vital for exposure of your work! Welcome to Hubpages and good luck!

I'm exploring to this whole hub concept... is it really worth all the hassle and uncertainty of writing/working for yourself online or do you think it's better to just get a real brick-and-mortar job?
