The Crime Wire - A new niche site?

   Hey, did anyone else see this niche site? I guess I missed the memo again. There are only 2 articles. The authors don't come up on HP when you click on their names. What's up with that?

      Wow! Thanks for sharing this info, Janis. I can see two articles. One of the two articles was written by HP's staff member (editor) Jake Anderson!
      
      
      
      
      Nothing comes up when you click the names because clicking on the author's name on a niche site does not backlink to HubPages.

         Wow! A staff member, huh? Mmm. Thanks, Misbah.
         Wouldn’t it be great if we could all get niche sites to promote our specific interests? Sweet!

            It would be super awesome! Let's promote this idea. At least we have a reason for making such a demand

      Yeah, one of my articles has been moved to there recently. I haven't checked the site properly yet.

   I did not see any mention of this either.
   
   I wonder if they will migrate all the crime content from Soapboxie over. It would be nice to break up the politics from policing/crime, and make Soapboxie more focused.

   Thanks for pointing this out, Jan. I never saw a memo about this, and So I am sure there wasn’t one. I just read the HubPage Weekly and there was no mention of it there. There should be a lot of articles move in the days ahead.

      I did the same thing, John, checked the HubWeekly. I found it very strange. Funny how it was kinda slipped in as a niche site.

   Who knows? Maybe just an HP experiment to create some mystery and suspense...

   I believe True Crime is popular and exciting. Anyone with an article that fits this niche should submit it. Which brings my next question: Can we submit articles to Crime Wire?

      Good question. It definitely is a hot topic. I, personally, am not into it.

      Correct me if I am wrong but I am not seeing any ads on the landing page or on the articles. Therefore if you do submit and accepted there you would not earn anything from an article there.

         That's a good point, Dr. Mark. Hopefully, Matt will post an update.

      I disagree. Why are they starting a new site when multiple writers here are saying that their earnings are low? Is the Arena Group actually doing well financially from articles on the platform? Is the purpose of the new site to make more money for the company or to experiment and see what works best with respect to income for everyone? There are too many questions.

         You have a good point, Linda. I remember when HP made changes, Paul explained the reasoning behind them and how it would benefit the writers as well as HP. Two to three sentences from Matt or another HP staff would handle these valid questions.

            I miss the HubPages of the past. I understand that businesses need to change over time to remain relevant and make a profit, but I don’t think some of the changes here have been for the best. Increased communication with the writers via the forum could be helpful.
