Article in editor's editing list

   Amara Hassanposted 2 years ago

   Greeting fellows
   I was just curious to know that how much time does it take to get your article edited, if your article is in the editing list of the staff?
   2 months ago i submitted my article to a niche site, the staff mailed me that your article has the potential, so we are putting it in our editing list. But its been 2 months now, my article is still on discover. Any idea how much time it usually takes?

      Amara, I'd advise you to forget about them. Six of my articles are in the editing queue, and they haven't been touched in over 9 months, nor have the editors responded to my emails. Simply place your hand on your heart and say, "All is Well."
      Blessings always!!

            But this is what I've experienced. It is, without a doubt, sad and disappointing.
            
            Please see this thread the case is still the same: https://hubpages.com/community/forum/35 … -this-boat

               I guess they should hire more staff.

      I have an answer for you. It took one of mine to go from that queue to a niche site in 9 months. Granted, I did do a second revision sometime during the waiting process. So I'm not sure, but possibly revising it a little could draw it more traffic, which could mean it gets bumped in the queue.
      
      If an article you submit to a niche site only needs a tiny bit of editing, the editors tend to go ahead and do it and move the article over.
      
      There is some kind of traffic flow system behind the scenes for editing. If you get the email that says you've been placed in the editing queue but it's a really long wait, etc... it will be sitting in limbo for a while.

   What I find interesting, is people have been waiting so long for articles they have submitted to Network sites to be edited and accepted, but I was just surprised to receive an email saying that one of my articles “God is Watching Over Us (Things Happen For a Reason) was chosen to move to a network site ‘LetterPile’ without me having submitted it.
   That may not sound so strange, but the article was written in 2013 (last edit 2020) and it has sat at HubPages all that time. They also moved it without editing it at all. There may be a backlog in accepting hubs that authors manually submit to the niche sites, but editors are obviously going through older hubs and approving them to be moved.

            I think Petterpile must be the new hybrid site combining PetHelpful and LetterPile.

         Exactly. And despite the many challenges editors are facing, hope they got over and take the bull by the horn.

   Two of my articles have been edited by Hubpro. One takes eight months to edit, while the other takes a year and three months. I have other pieces in the queue that have been waiting for more than 1 and a half years but have yet to be revised.

   If staff can't cope with the influx, it means that they don't need or want more new articles. So why do we keep on writing when views and earnings keep on going down the drain...

         I would like for them to get a bonafide social media manager who helps promote the best of HubPages and brings traffic to the site. When I worked on the web side for a news station, the amount of views one article would get just from posting to Facebook was madness.

            You should contact HupPages and apply for the job. It sounds like a great idea.

   I got a strange message some time back about one of my articles edited by mistake. And after that, no further edits happened on that article. So I guess the possibilities are endless !!!!!

   About 3 years ago, I suggested an article of mine for inclusion for one of the vertical sites. I got reply it's on the editing list. 3 years down the line, nothing. No email to inform me the article has been declined for inclusion on one of their vertical sites. But, I never waited for their email to inform me of the progress or status of the suggested article.
   And, that, was my first and last time I have ever suggested an article for consideration on one of the niche sites. I write and publish articles knowing they always scan articles on Hubpages to include on the niche sites. I have about ten articles that are sitting coolly on the niche sites without having suggested them.
   Don't tire yourself with waiting and reminding them.

      Even though that sounds like a bad experience, I would submit every two weeks if you have content sitting in Discover and HubPages. Discover is like limbo, and with a little bit of editing, most things can find a better home.
