So, how often are there contests and what not? I checked the blog/past contests but it looks like it has not been recently updated.
I have no idea how often (bummer). I tried to search but I couldn't find any new or open contests. I was hoping there would be. A contest could help me stay motivated and hopefully give me some fresh ideas to roll around.
Hello!
We normally host contests that correspond with holidays or special events. Otherwise, we host the Hubbies once a year in which Hubbers vote for their favorite authors and articles.
Ok thanks
I wish there was a monthly challenge I think it would encourage more interaction and content
AshlyChristen I set my own challenge for myself last month and exceeded it! I made a goal of 100 articles published by the end of April. I started at 86 and managed 101 before the end. Now to choose a new goal for this month.
Did it change your "income" on hubpages? I've been trying to write every free moment I can scrounge up, much harder than I imagined lol
Yes it did. I see many reporting a dip in earnings, I am experiencing the opposite. My total earnings for last month doubled from what I usually see.
It can be hard to find the time to write! I have a 6 year old, and with school out for the rest of the year it was a challenge.
Yes! Hard to write when the voices you hear say, "mom.mom.mommy.mommy" I have 3 boys. 4 if you count dad lol
I have a houseful of boys as well. Dad and then my son, and my 21 year old nephew lives with me as well. Concentrating is always a struggle! I keep post it notes of new article ideas. Otherwise I would forget what I intended to write about next!

A few months ago a contest was announced that it would be approaching, and then put off.. The last contest I remember was the review a product contest, and I remember winning one of the daily prizes.

Since I haven't written here for over four weeks I want to establish a writing routine again. I find it difficult to establish a routine unless I make it official. So to get going with writing hubs again, I am embarking on a new HubChallenge. I am asking everyone to join! Why? By the end, we should...

I'd appreciate the feedback from anyone who has written on other Pay To Write sites on this statistical survey I've just published:<snippy snippy- for shame!>It was not possible to be totally accurate on a couple of the figures, such as the total number of articles published on triond.com and...
