   Hello Hubpages Community and Team,
   
   I have recently joined hubpages and I am having difficulty in getting my first article published. I have re-submitted about three times and have followed all the quality guidelines. This is the email I receive but does not mention my article's specific issues. I have added images, multiple capsules, and the ideal word count. It would be great if a hubpages team member could take a look. Thank you.

   Heads up! Your article wasn’t cleared for publication because it didn’t pass the Quality Assessment Process (QAP). Don’t worry, every new Hubber goes through Boot Camp, and all you need to do is improve your article so that it meets our quality standards. To graduate from Boot Camp, you must publish at least five Featured articles.
   
   Featured articles are thorough and contain high-quality, relevant media. Articles that reflect the following elements are more likely to be Featured on HubPages:
   
   - Does not include spammy content (e.g., spammy links, promotional activity, links to your personal blog or website, unrelated product listings, repetitive keyword emphasis, etc.)
   - Demonstrates correct English grammar usage and spelling
   - Offers complete and in-depth coverage of their subject area or topic
   - Has an attractive layout (text is broken up into multiple capsules with high-quality images and media)
   - Has easy to read text (consistent formatting that avoids excessive bolded, underlined, or italicized text)
   - Offers “evergreen” content, or content that will stay relevant for months and years to come
   - Is not artificially generated content
   
   Featured articles appeal to a niche audience, but can impress just about anyone. They are beautiful and read more like magazine articles than personal blog entries. With a few changes, any article can be transformed into a work of art. Take a look at what a makeover can do:

      I can't access your article to give feedback. Also, HubPages is not worth the time and effort to get an article approved. Writers do not make money here anymore, or not enough to compensate for their efforts. The Arena Group owns the platform, and the company is flagrantly nontransparent.

   Sorry, we can't see it. Have you unpublished it?
   
   Also, you need to know that this platform is not the site it used to be. It's very difficult to attract views and earnings.

      Self-promotion is not permitted at HubPages. You can't write an article in 3rd person when it's about you and written by you - it looks deceptive. Neither can you include links to fundraisers, however altruistic they are.
      
      Re the email you received: "Does not include spammy content (e.g., spammy links, promotional activity, links to your personal blog or website..."
      
      As you can see, you are violating that requirement.

   Thanks for the feedback. I guess I will have to modify it. Thanks so much.
