I have posted articles but my profile keeps on saying i must post my first article, can someone highlight me on what's next when you have posted but says that please
You haven't actually posted ur articles....try again
Hi there,
Click Help, top right, to negotiate to the Learning Center. All the info you need.
Have you actually hit "done editing" or "publish?"
I think that you might have pressed "Done Editing" when you finished. Press "Publish" instead. Under "My Account" you should see your articles listed as "Draft" - when you press "Publish" above your article, this status will change. After roughly 24 hours of review, your articles will be available to the rest of us.
You *post* in the forums or on social media. You *publish* an article.
This language confusion is perhaps at the root of the problem.
You've published nothing.
You should also consider using a portrait-style photo that shows a face for your profile pic and writing a fuller biography in your profile "about" section, rather than just saying that you're from South Africa.
Thank you very much, i will update what you have highlighted for me

I just read a Hub that said that the author was going to go to the freelance website and pay people to write articles for him that he would put on HubPages to make himself money from. That can't be okay with the HubPages site, is it? A couple of people commented, including an author that I have...

What keeps you using Hubpages over other similar sites?I have seen a lot of people with concerns about Hubpages in one form or another, but I wonder what inspires people to stick with it. Personally, while I would prefer to make money faster, I like that I don't because I see it as a challenge. I...
