Just wanted to remind the newbies that the clock has already begun to tick on the holidays. I have a few Christmas-only hubs that hadn't seen a click since last December--until last week. They've each brought in a little bit of change every day for the past week. And I'm not talking about stuff people might buy all year round--these hubs are for stuff people would ONLY buy at the holidays.
If you plan on having hubs up for the holidays, you want to give them time to rank and age before the shopping madness starts. I plan on having all of mine up and ready by the end of August. The end of September is probably fine, but I'm not taking any chances after seeing what Santa left in my AdSense/Amazon accounts last year!
Some of my Christmas and Thanksgiving hubs have already started to get clicks again, too!
If my hubs are anything to go by then this kind of stuff sells!
Good advice!
All of my Halloween hubs have been getting hits for a few weeks and I am beginnng to see a few hits on my Christmas stuff.
thanks for the reminder! I wrote a few hubs last year that accidentally did well around the holidays because of the type of product. I didn't write them for Christmas, they just worked well. lol I'm going to write some "on purpose" for the holidays this year and hope to have a much more profitable holiday season! Now is definitely a good time to start.
You are so clever. I too should start to write about holidays. Recipes, crafts and whatever else comes to mind. I'm sure it brings in a lot of traffic.
Yeah I started on Halloween hubs about a month ago. I have written a few, but not as many as I want to. Christmas is next cab out of the rank!

Well, summer is fast approaching here in sunny Florida, so I've been busy clearing as much area as possible to grow an organic garden. Florida betony, by the way, has an ubiquitous root system! Today I'm feeling a little fatigued, and if any of you have casually checked my Facebook posts, you'll...

So, Hubtivity is swamped with new hubs that nobody really wanted to write and nobody really wants to read. The natural (and excellent) dynamic of this Great Domain is destroyed. And those of us who have work to do or are less than competitive by nature can only sit back and wait for the feeding...

How well do poems and short stories do on HP?I noticed a while back somewhere that HP staff had mentioned that creative writing such as poems and short stories don't do as well as informational pieces. I'm curious to know about the earnings of some of the people who publish a lot of these. Do you...

Hey everyone,This might seem like a silly question, the answer to which is probably glaringly obvious to my more experienced fellow hubbers, but I'm truly at a loss here. I'd like to know how you come up with original hubs to write after doing research on a proposed topic. Nearly every...

I'm sure all of us have felt time-crunched while working on our websites, articles and HubPages. If you have a limited amount of time, what do you think will make your site more valuable in the eyes of Google (i.e. increase traffic): writing a brand new, high word count hub or spending the same...
