My 2 Month Hubaversary! 100 Hubs and 100 Lessons Learned!
Newcomers to the HUB, I welcome you! Old-timers, I thank you!
This is a great place to write, read, learn and think about more writing, reading and learning.
To those of you who just awoke from a writing slumber, this is a great place to get sharp again. As much as I knew that I didn't know what the hell I was doing, the people of this community poked and prodded me forward when I needed it.
You will discover (as i just recently have) that being friends with Hubpeople is great and they are a nice bunch, but if you want to succeed in this world, you better have thick skin. If you want everyone to answer every little question you have but you didn't bother to read any of the info available to you...look out!
These are some of my many lessons here at hubpages that newcomers might benefit from hearing.
1) Don't use the forums to promote your own hubs, use them to make your hubs better.
2) Tweaked all your old hubs regularly, it can be more important than you realize!
3) Don't act like a crybaby or you will get spanked. If you do something wrong and people call you out on it, don't fight back out of insecurity...let it go, let it grow...
4) The moderator is NOT out to get you. Relax. Deep Breath. Try again.
5) If you don't fully understand what spamming is, you should find out before you end up doing it unknowingly.
6) Look before you leap. If you have a debatable thing on a future hub, ask someone BEFORE publishing it.
7) The question you are about to post in the Need Help Forum is probably already in there if you check a few pages worth of subjects.
8) If you come off like a know-it-all, there is no room for the conversation to go. If you leave certain points out of your text, that will invite a debate.
9) When I started 2 months ago, I didn't know what an URL was, much less a backlink or an Adsense account. If I can do it, you can do it....cause I'm a goofy bastard.
10) I just learned how to post videos 2 weeks ago, now I make my own...in other words it is what YOU make of it.
PeaceLOL Congrats DJ

LOL don't take it personally...
but YOU ARE SPAMMING FORUMS AGAIN
(I signed up as your fan though, cause I know you are a good guy )LOL I think you rock, too
Just so you understand what I meant by spamming - you posted this link on two different threads. I wouldn't say a word if it was only one
Congrats DJF
Thank you for spamming the forums with that very entertaining video.
(I didn't know posting links was spamming until I read Misha's comment, by the way. ) And congratulations! You've been a busy little bee, haven't you? Loved the video, DJ! (pssst... there is a little something between your teeth in the back - LOL)
Happy Day after Earth Day, StephDJ well done for reaching 100 Hubs so quickly. I've been here for about the same time as you (4 months) and have just (10 minutes ago) produced Hub no 20.
Like you I am really enjoying HubPage life. Here's looking forward to your 200th Hub later this year!May be you are just really awesome and people naturally flock to you? IDK...
Congrats DJ, that is pretty amazing stuff, in my opinion. Your videos are entertaining - and I think they qualify for helping you network, in a way.

OMG! My first $1,000 month on Hubpages
I honestly can't believe it. But I've checked my spreadsheet half a dozen times. Yes, I just hit the $1,000 threshold for November. (There could be an Amazon return or two tommorrow which will ruin the fun, but for now I'm enjoying the digits.)I'm only running, Amazon, Ebay, and Adsense on hubs...

First payout a month ago - second payout this month
It really does take off. I got my first adsense payout at the end of June, and I've just hit the £60 mark for July, so another payout this month.That's not all hubs, because I set up my own blog a month ago, but hubs is most of it.
