   Hi Hubbers,
   
   I'd like some help with passing the Quality Assessment Process. Will you please give feedback on my article? What can I do to improve?
   
   Am I lacking enough photos? Is there something wrong with the content itself?
   
   Thanks!
   Here is my article: Procrastination Is a Sign of Low Self-Esteem (and How to Fix It) (must be signed in to view)

      I think the problem is the Amazon capsule. HubPages is quite strict about its use. The article should be about the book in the capsule or you should add much more information about why the book inspired you to write the article. You need to clearly show why buying the book would be helpful for someone within the text of your article. If you can’t do this or don’t want to do it because it would change the nature of the article, it would be best to delete the capsule.

      As Kenna noted, Hub Pages is not a blogging platform.  It is for authors who write magazine style articles of about 1,000 words answering the question "How do I ..."  If you wish to write a blog, check out Blogger or WordPress, both of which are free.
      
      Having said that, your article is too short.  It needs to be about 1,000 words. 
      Your title does not match your content.
      You do not define low self-esteem. 
      You do not define procrastination.
      You do not make clear how procrastination is a sign of low self-esteem.
      And, most importantly, you do not tell the reader "how to fix it".
      Do you mean how to fix self-esteem or how to fix procrastination?
      
      You need to remove the bolding.
      You need to make your Amazon product a text link instead of a capsule.  HubPages no longer allows Amazon capsule.  HubPages also requires that if you are linking to a product on Amazon, you must have used the product yourself, provide a brief review and indicate how the product is relevant to your ariticle.
      
      Before you try to fix this article or write more articles, you should spend some time reviewing the information in the Learning Center (Help button, upper right).  That will tell you how to write and properly format an article for Hubpages.

   Your bio says nothing of your qualifications and mentions "blog." HP consists of articles, not blogs.

   Thanks for the feedback, everyone. As you can tell, I'm pretty new to creating content online and still rough around the edges. These criticisms were very helpful. I'll go back to the drawing board for this one. Cheers!
