I had first discovered HubPages while looking for a writing site that I can showcase my work and get to know my readers. That was about a year ago. Now, I do use it to showcase new stories and get feedback along with earn a little money along the way. I have come to really love HubPages and its patrons. It's now as a part of my budding writing career as the actual writing is.
The health benefits, 401k and travel are all really nice....But the real reason for me is simply the ability to share my stories and perspectives and connect with others in doing so.
Money, backlinks, experience, community, tips, ideas, practice, entertainment, enjoyment, and many more reasons. Not necessarily in that order.
I think that InternPete hit many reasons in one short comment.
For me I actually left the site for a long time, forgetting I opened an account. However, when I return to share my experiences of South Korea, I found the community here to be ... well ... AMAZING!
I really enjoy the feedback and teamwork on this site, it is far friendlier than most I have tried in the past.
I am a hubber to gain my readership and enjoy what I do writing is such a pleasure, earning comes later.
great question. I became a hubber because of money and freedom to publish any hub without anyone looking over my shoulder. Some sites have moderators to check your articles before publish, like your teacher in school.
So I can make money and change the world. World domination and all that...

Some of the top hubbers on the site have separate accounts NO ONE knows about to...

Where else do you write online, and why?I love HubPages, and I'm here to stay. But I'm wondering about writing on other Internet sites as well. But I don't know anything about them. If you are writing on another site - or were - and can say clearly why you are writing there (as well as HubPages),...

Or, do you have any grouse against Hubpages/the hubbers?

I am so tired of having people post that they are unhappy and have decided to leave HP as a result. In some cases, I see their point, but in most, what I see is a bunch of individuals who have not taken the time to keep up with the new rules and then have problems as a result.It is your...

I love hubpages! But I was wondering if anyone has better luck making money with a similar site?I have looked at many of the other sites, and hubpages seems to be the most user friendly, but I was curious what others have experienced as far as the money aspect goes.
