I am just curious to see if it's a good idea to write short stories on here or if writing different parts of a story and then publishing it?

Hi Jessica,
You are welcome to write short stories on HubPages. However, if your aim in writing here is to make money, we recommend writing informative articles instead. HubPages can be a good place to workshop your creative writing and get feedback from other writers, but since readers are not looking for creative writing in search engines, you are not likely to get much traffic.

I'm curious to know about the earnings of some of the people who publish a lot of these. Do you...

I feel concerned that the reason google may prefer ehow as opposed to hubpages, is because there is an abundance of poetry and short stories. I am not by any means saying that those who publish the short stories and poetry are not good, but they are not usually searchable or high market. I...
