From Experts Point of View, Is 30-day Hub Challenge still works?
Now that I don't have a day job anymore, most of the tasks are delegated to my VA, so I got room to write all day. Writing quality post would not matter to me, but I wanna know if this still a good practice? I know, I'm already 4yrs old here, but still..
The 30-day Hub Challenge went to the wayside a few years ago. It does not fit the strategy today for HubPages and emphasis on Google's criteria for success as a business enterprise.
The emphasis is quality rather than quantity. The 30-day challenge was centered on quantity seeking view count. The strategy today is the 'New' niche sites as a business enterprise. We are shown that with the many Hubber awards for those sites.
If writing quality posts would not matter to you, then writing even one hub in 30 days is a waste of time. I would say, based on the wording of this question, that your time would be better spent working on your grammar skills.
Back in 2013 I set a goal to write 30 hubs in a month. I set up a forum for this personal challenge and where others could add their own. There were some people who posted negative replies saying that writing 30 hubs would be impossible. (Note: As far as I know this challenge does not exist anymore in Hub Pages). Well in my days off I normally write 2000 to 4000 words and I completed that challenge. Maybe about 5 of them did not pass muster and were not featured.
How did it go though?... I mean, seeing there were negative replies.
I kept at it to make a point. But one of the people saw that I was putting out good hubs and did encourage me more a misunderstanding in my forum post. It depends if you know what you want to write about.

Yep, I'm going to be writing 100 Hubs in 30 days starting next Monday, May 11th. This might sound a little crazy (because it is), but I promise that I have a somewhat logical reason for doing it.So here's the story -- Yesterday I was surfing around the web, looking at some blogs that have been...

I'm just coming back after a several year hiatus, and one of the most exciting things that started when I was here was the HubChallenge. Originally, it was 30 hubs in 30 days. Now I see it's changed to either updating your hubs or 30 hubs in 60 days. I tried the original once, and I failed...

I've scrounged HubPages for this challenge as I posted one Sunday, one yesterday, and am working on what today. With only 20 hubs in the years I have been on here, I think it would be a great challenge. Is anyone currently undertaking this? Do you have any other advice?

Ok, so a few weeks ago I was drinking on a Friday night (like every other night) and decided to have a 30 minute hub writing contest. U know, they have 30 hubs in 30 days, so I figured why not 1 hub in 30 minutes?We got like four hubs done, and another that didn't make it in a half hour, but...

are we going to see any feedback? I recall something about HubPages reporting stats provided we tagged our hubs, which I duly did.And for those of us who sweated to achieve the magic 30 or even 100 in 30 days, apart from a bit of forum dialogue we've seen nothing... HubPages itself...

I have yet to see a thread that has shared the successes of the hub challenge.Has anyone seen significant income increases in adsense? Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
