Firstly welcome to HP, secondly as long as you write good origial content it can be about whatever you like. (But no incouraging gambling or explicit content and stuff like that) Some people are very good at making money from their hubs (I'm not one of them) and there are other things like SEO and keywords you might want to think about. (again though I'm not an expert) I would recomend reading hubs about hubpages by other hubbers, as they have some really good advice. Other then that just enjoy writing I guess.
HubPages is an excellent place to express oneself through writing. It removes the old obstacle of the long process of being "published" as in times of old. Though, the "published" world is still slow in acknowledging the credibility of actual writers on the internet. The allure of financial gain through writing on the internet is real and valid. As long as it's creative there is nothing wrong with marketing a product here. It actually opens up new areas of writing as I've come to learn recently.
However, it is therapeutic in a way. If you want an enema or a good dose of laxative just hang around the forums a while and express a few odd views. You'll get a cleansing like you won't believe. Let's just say that after seven months on HubPages I am proud to proclaim that I am squeaky clean!Welcome to HubPages
I would say, write about what you know best and passionate about. Will be easier and natural. HP provides the platform and is up to the author how they want to use it as long as it isnt against the TOS. Visit other authors and see how they write, lay out their writing, tags used, etc. You will find your own voice and subjects too. most of all, as said in another forum, have fun.
