   Big opportunities are widely open if you know how to write. I want to improve my writing skills and maybe, to earn from it. That's my primary reason why I joined in. Do you have any other reasons aside from sharing to the world whats on your mind?

      To write and get some kind of response mainly - but also to argue as this sharpens up the creative marinade.
      
      And when I turn to money Hubpages has some of the best advice in hubs that i have seen on the net - and those hubbers are here and answer questions!

   I've always loved the physical act of writing, even though this is the modern version.
   After spending many, many years on the internet, and quite a few of those in chatrooms, I finally burned out.
   When my best friend introduced me to HP I was a bit reluctant.  However, that reluctance vanished quickly when I saw how easy this is to do. 
   I love the fact that you can write about anything, and, echoing others, I've met some lovely people on here, so for me, it's a more sophisticated chatroom lol.
   That you can earn money and hone your skills to boot is an absolute bonus, but not the reason I joined.

    Because I'd been writing more than my share of freelance articles in areas in which I had no particular interest, I wanted to write what I felt like writing (as a way of having something enjoyable to do in my spare time).  The potential of earning for it was appealing too.  Also, at the time, I was using the requests (now "questions") section as a way of looking for challenges with regard to seeing what I could come up with.
