Do you yield to the temptation to write about topics that will get the most clicks or do you write what you are passionate about and know is actually needed by the reader?
balance..some topics i write for general people and some are write about ones i am passionate about..i dont write about something in which i am not interested though...like i write about movies because i like movies but i am not passionate about that..social issues , politics appeal to me more...and so on...
I write what I love, unfortunately. I need to have it from my heart.
Hi Winsome,
I write about topics I have an interest in. I feel writing what interest you makes writing more enjoyable and if I like it I'm sure someone else shares my interests.
once in a great while, mostly out of curiosity, but then i feel kind of icky afterwards, like with my last hub.
but almost everything i write about is something i am interested in, or really like. sometimes if i find something useful i write about it because it might help someone although helping people isn't why i came to Hubpages. i just have a lot to say, i guess, and Hubpages allows me to do that.
I write about topics I know and am interested in, sharing knowledge and information that will hopefully be of interest to others. I don't write full time online, so when I do, I want to spend time writing what I know best. I wish I had more time to write..
nice to see you in the forums winsome.
I just write so that I'm able to say that while I was asleep... people from all over the world had a laugh at the way I write and had to explain to someone else why they were laughing!
and ofcourse your favorite peaceful hubbers out here ...
I write for money!
By the way cosette, I noticed one of your articles on my site is bringing in an increasing amount of traffic every day, you have to tell me if you start seeing earnigns from my site!
I have to write about what I love. I pay attention to what is drawing traffic, but I have to tailor that to my interests.
I usually write about what interests me, I have recently tried to write an "AdSense and Amazon hub". I just published it and I am anticipating if all the reading and studying on keywords and SEO will reap some rewards.
I write mainly about the issues people come up with for counseling. Seeing people struggle with their lives motivates me to write. I never write for clicks or ads. Sometimes I forget to include the ads and then put them much later.
I gave it a try and my efforts to this point have not provided good results. I did keyword research and wrote a thorough hub using everything I have learned.
Views almost zero. LOL
Maybe in time?

Is it worth sacrificing your hubscore to get more followers?I notice people do mass following in order to get more people to follow them, but I've also noticed it seems to have a direct relationship with a falling hubscore. So, Is it worth it?

Do you write here on HubPages and perhaps elsewhere for love, or money?I read the latest HubPages newsletter and noticed the last part about doing keyword research. It said something along the lines of: "If you know you have been bested, then it's back to the drawing board". In other...

What do you like to write about?
by Doris James MizBejabbers 12 years ago
Have you had some experiences in your life you would like to write about, but you feel that they are just too personal? By that I mean they would be too embarassing or they would hurt someone close to you. If you were guaranteed total anonymity, would you write about them?

I would like to find out some tips from other hubbers on how to stay motivated to write articles not centered around the renowned COVID-19 virus. It is understandable to raise awareness around such a global pandemic, and obviously most people are looking for information regarding the virus. I find...

I keep starting hubs and then losing interest in finishing them. I think it's because I'm really not sure what to write. One thing I have found out though, is that if I know someone wants to read about it, I get inspired enough to work on that hub full force. (Too bad I don't get many requests and...
