Welcome.
The learning center is well worth a visit.
Ask questions.
Learn from veteran writers here on HP. Read some good hubs. Use the forums.
Write about what you are passionate about.
Stay calm when challenges arise.
Write on a regular basis and build up a core of hubs.
That will do for starters. Good luck!
Practice link building, YahooAnswers is one site that can help with link building your hubs, by pasting the Hub's url that pertains to the topic. And welcome to Hubpages
Find a niche or topic you're passionate about, research it well and present yourself as an expert or at least very knowledgeable on the subject. Use good grammar and spelling and present your Hub in the most professional format you can, experience and time will help you too achieve this.
I usually spend a week writing my Hubs but it is important for search engines for you to repeat your title or part of it, in the body of your article at least five times. Also, as stated below, learn about back links and sharing your hub address in appropriate venues to generate readership, such as Digg, Pininterst, Google +, Twitter, Linkin, etc., . . .
Write with passion and make it fun, the HPs Help Page is really worth reading, it will teach you how to create links in your text, how to source photos and the best place to get them, and use many other features that will help create a professional article.
Use many paragraphs as I have done here to break up your text and make it easier to read, long text paragraphs is hard on your eyes and tough to read.
Above all have fun, welcome to Hub Pages!

I have been on Hub Pages about a year and I have written about 27 Hubs and they have received close to 5000 views, which I felt was not bad and my status hovers between 82-88. Last week I had about 8 of my Hubs featured, which again seemed ok. Now magically overnight, I have all these codes now...

I've been a little down about not having received a payout for nearly two years of participation here, but I'm looking at Triond, another writing site, and I must say how grateful I am for the amount of control I have about how my article looks here at Hub Pages by comparison. When I delete...

My Take on Hub Pages. It's alright for them to take our content and just add whatever type of adds they want. Why? Because when someone reads ""our content"" and clicks on one of these adds, Hub Pages makes money. Yes you say, they share it with us. The Truth! Hub...

Firstly, I only write non-fiction so this is a querie if you like on behalf of the poets and fiction writers on the site. I have looked around but I don't see any challenges or competitions particularly for this group of writers? If there are I apologise for obviously looking in the wrong place. If...
