      It depends on what I am writing the hub about. If it is something that I have already written and just need to cut and past an add photos an hour. On some that need research and photos taken I spend an hour here and there on over a couple of weeks building it by adding capsules and info as I gather it.
      
      Some like the one when it snowed I took the photos loaded them on the computer and had the hub on here in two hours.
      
      I have to spell check and edit a lot so that takes extra time and then I sometimes I move the photos in the hub about until I am happy with the balance of them.
      
      I think I take longer to make a hub now than I did when I started because I am more picky and self critical about the finished look of the hub. I'd guess minium an hour maxium 4.
      So I guess I'm not normal... (that will make a change).

      I'm sure that you must have spent ample time in Researching, Absolute No Knowledge in the respective field and Spend Time Figuring Out  Facts.
      
      Here are some tips:
      - Research thoroughly (Qualitative & Quantitative measures) before hubbing
      - Spend time understanding the Fundamental (Basis) before hubbing
      - Do not rush through your Hub or else, republishing is inevitable
      - Revisit the published Hub, doing necessary adjustments & amendments
      
      Any queries can be written to me at flamboyantken hub page. Cheers!!

   I would say it depends on the research your doing or if you are able to rattle something off. I try to spend a couple hours on my hubs. Personally for me though I can take a few days to write one article. Not so sure if that's a bad thing or not.

    Depends on the subject.  Some may take an hour or so. But most of my hubs are written over a period of days, or nights in my case.  Some subjects require quite a bit more research or hard to find photos.  Sometimes I wait until I can take photos as I had rather use my own whenever possible.
    
    How long it takes doesn't matter to me as long as I am happy with the results.

    I think I'm with wyanjen - a couple of my hubs I think I spent close to 10 hours on..  But typically, I spend about 2-3 hours writing, 1 hour researching and gathering material, and another hour editing and revising what I wrote before I publish.

    Yeah, I just did a hub 850 words, had to find a video, found two graphics and made a third... an hour to lay it all out...
    
    5 hours.
    There is just so much research that I do. Do you know that when I wanted to find out why kosher salt is called kosher, I researched the subject up to and including how to slaughter a cow kosher style.
    Of course none of that made it into the final hub.

    About 30 minutes.  I'm always reading and researching stuff and I just write off the top of my head.  I'm always tweaking to.  I make sure I don't get paralyzed planning my hubs too much that I don't actually write it.  I find that stuff just comes out as I write and it works a lot better for me than outlining and planning.

    It depends on the topic at hand.
    
    I recently wrote one hub about a intimate friendship, which I was able to complete in 3 hours.
    
    I have other hubs that took minutes to write because of short poems. I have some poems that are simply too long, to read in one sitting. I do recommend, if you happen to pass by my poem called Nameless. Keep passing. It is 10 pages on paper.
    
    But, on average when I begin writing, I run along a train of thought, till it is disrupted by something else, just as important. Then, I'll stop writing and address the idea on hand, when done with that, I'll return to my other work.
    
    But, as I said. It depends.

    Two hours is about the minimum for me. I tend to need research for my hubs so it can take even longer. My goal is quality. If I am consistent I will get quantity. Some folks say they can punch out a hub in 10 minutes, but I doubt it would be worth reading.

    It always takes me hours to finish a single hub and it’s not finished at once. I usually save it as a draft and then go back to add more stuff before I finally publish it. To break down the total time I spent on a hub, that is, 50% of the time was spent on doing research for the content, 30% on finding suitable Amazon products, 10% on adding some images and 10% on creating some backlinks.
    
    It seems that I need to learn new tactics to improve my writing speed. Does anyone have any good idea?

    The time depends. If I like the hub then it takes much longer, as I am proud of it and just want to keep on improving it and adding more stuff. It gets dangerous when I am indifferent to it, as then nobody else seems to like the hub either!

             My hubs may take several days or a week to compile.  Some are step by step repair projects which require appropriate photos illustrating a particular facet of the article.  These photos are taken during different phases of the project so are not available until the project is completed.
             
             By the way, these are my best money making hubs, both for Amazon sales and ad clicks.  I have written a hub in 30 minutes as a contest between a couple of Other hubbers, but the quality suffered as could be expected. Different subjects, different degree of difficulty

    I found my hubs on pregnancy really quick to write because they didn't need much research seeing its a field I know well, but they took longer to get ready to publish than they did to write, what with looking for suitable photos, videos and Amazon ads, then getting the page to look right.
    Other hubs take me literally days because I have to research them first, and that take ages because you really have to look at a lot of different sites that cover the subject, to take from each of them what you consider to be the most important points. Otherwise you are only spinning someone else's article.

    It really depends on how much detail I want to go into and how I wish to organize everything. If I just blurt things in a more conversational tone then it generally goes more quickly if I'm not writing more than 1000 words. Generally it takes 45 minutes at a minimum or as much as three hours.

    This depends on the topic I am writing on and the supportive reading & images I use. In my case, some finance related hubs need more reading it took more time. But sometimes it depends on whether you are enjoying writing or not. It is fun to assemble capsules to create a hubpage.
