I've been a member of HubPages for over a month and have encountered challenges in getting my articles featured. Despite having written five articles that I believe are of high quality, they often remain in "pending," "needs editing," or "draft" status without clear feedback on the specific issues preventing them from being featured. This pattern persists even after multiple rounds of editing, leaving none of my articles featured yet.
Pls, I need you guys advise and how to go about getting my articles featured. Even if it is coaching me one on one on available platforms. Thanks
Welcome to HubPages Emmanuel. The best way for newbies to learn how to get featured is to review the help section. There is a lot of information there that you’ll need to know to be successful with HubPages. You can get there by clicking “help” at the top-right.
To help you with your specific question about not getting featured, see this page:

EDIT: I just looked at your first article and noticed you answered your own question. Or, rather, you used AI to answer your question and posted it as an article. HubPages does not accept AI written content. It will get you banned. If you’re serious about writing, learn to do it yourself.
Emmanuel, I just read your recently published article. It seems as if written by an experienced writer. You are only a newcomer here. How can you end the article by providing some advice to more experienced and professional writers while you are still learning to write?
While presenting your experiences and ideas, you enumerated each point as the number one points instead of 1, 2, 3, and so on in each section. While listing your points, you need to click the numbering list option only once and then press the enter button after each point. That is the way of doing it.
Paul, provided you a link to learn how to write good articles. Please go through it.
Once identified, AI will get you an instant ban, whether in an article or on the forum.
HP is fast on banning folks who use AI, which is excellent!!
HubPages should apply that to spammers and plagiarists as well.

The feeling of first approved featured article in any site is good one for any author. Which was your first approved and featured article in hubpages? Can you share the link so that others especially the new authors here can go through it? It will be interesting to go through them.
