What does it mean by "pending" on earnings page?. Do I need to do something
No, it takes time for daily earnings to appear. No need to do anything
"Pending" just means it's about to happen. It's usually a matter of hours. Occasionally it takes longer, but that's not the norm.
You'll likely achieve most success here through writing what you know, particularly practical how-to advice. Use what qualifications and life experiences you have.
It's best to avoid writing topics where your knowledge and experience are limited.
Given that you describe yourself as a "growing new writer," it would be wise to stay away from giving advice on "How to Become an Article Writer," including advice on writing for HubPages, as you are clearly still learning.
I don't want to put you off, but being successful here is actually very challenging. Writing isn't necessarily difficult in terms of forming sentences, paragraphs, and articles. However, doing it well enough to get published in the HP niches, rank highly in the search engines, gain thousands of views, and earn a significant amount of money isn't a quick or easy process.
Actually I know I am a new writer and mostly write about my personal experiences. The article you mentioned is also based on my personal experience. I started writing by following these steps and then realised I should write about my experiences and on true events. Yes, that article's title should be "how to start writing" and I will edit that as well. Thanks
I'm just saying don't underestimate the challenge.
The best place to start is the learning center, which can be accessed via the "help" top right. HP gives you all sorts of info including how to research topics and keywords, which is vital if you want to make money.
It's also worth studying the stuff that's published in the niches, especially the articles that HP has chosen to put on the front page(s). These teach you what HP likes in terms of things like layouts, style, tone, etc.
You've already got several articles published in Letterpile, which is a strong start and a major achievement. They may not earn you much revenue, but it's something to build upon if you're determined and willing to learn.
Best of luck to you!

What is more fun? Writing dozens of articles for a niche or writing all sorts of articles from holidays to teeth whitening? And leave aside the fun, what about the money - which has more potential? What would you rather do as a writer on HP - niche writing or free lancing?

Hey fellow writers, I finally did it. I can now say I write on two platforms: HubPages and Medium! I published my first article today. I've been getting the daily articles for about 2 years but never made the time to become a writing member. I'm glad to be in the company of those who encouraged me...

Hi,I've signed up and am ready to start making hubs in my specialised subject, but I was wondering what the earning potential of hubbig (if that's a word) actually is. I realise it all depends on how attractive your pages are and how good they are etc, but what are people actually earning? I am not...

I have a confession. I love hubpages, and was actively participating since I joined in May of this year. But, I've had a personal situation occur in the summer which has created a situational depression and lack of motivation. My last hub was written Aug. 30th and that was a...
