I have looked up a lot of information on Hubpages and found that the only way to stay afloat on Hubpages is to interact. I want to know how to get followers and interact with other members. I have 18 hubs and barelly any feedback with the want to change it.
Thanks in advance
You could write something about yourself on your profile page.
Most people on hubpages that haven't wrote anything about themselves don't seem to get many followers.x
After four years on this site, my opinion of the above sentiment is that it is untrue.
Nonsense. The HubPages community is great as a way to motivate you, but it has nothing at all to do with getting readers for your Hubs or making money.
Totally agree with Relache & Marisa.
In fact I now write my "money making" hubs on other accounts with few or no followers and no site interaction or promotion.
This is interesting -- do you use your main site to link to your "money making" hubs or what? And how do they make money then?
Revybaby, as others have said - you don't make money from the Hubber community. You make money by attracting readers from outside HubPages.
If you've written well on a subject people are looking for, your Hubs will naturally attract those readers eventually - it just takes patience. If you learn a bit about how to promote your Hubs outside HubPages, you can speed up the process. But if your goal is to make money, promoting yourself/interacting within HubPages is a waste of time. The community is for fun and for learning from each other.
I don't backlink. I dabbled in it on this account (probably have maybe 30 backlinks floating around out there) but have NEVER done any backlinks on my other accounts.
Once an article is published I leave it - often never looking at it again. Once it's written I'm done with it. And usually it will be picked up by Google and start getting hits within a day or sometimes a few weeks.
Participate on the forum, ask and answer questions, comment on hubs. It does not come easy, the best way is to be constructive and engaged, then it will come.
Whoever told you that you HAD to interact was full of -- whatever. There are lots and lots of hubbers who never come to the forums or interact and who have perfect hub scores and author scores. I, myself, had a six- or seven-month period where I didn't even visit HubPages at all, and my score didn't suffer one teeny little bit.
I will say this. If you want to keep up a decent score, write quality hubs. No duplicate or stolen content. Information rich. Minimum 400 to 500 words, and preferably longer. Do some keyword research to find search terms that people are actually looking for and the traffic will come.
Interacting in the community here is good, but ONLY if it's genuine. When people start posting ridiculous forum posts in the quest for "interaction," other hubbers an smell the insincerity a mile away.
Community interaction MAY also bring you some internal traffic, but that has nothing to do with making money. If you want to earn, you need to get search engine traffic.
It looks like you published a bunch of hubs in a very, very short period of time, which is probably why your author score is so low. It will all level out -- just give it time. And keep writing.
That is definitely a cause for concern, and will not make it easier to gain other Hubbers' respect and interest. So that is something to work on as well.
I stumbled into this forum thread and was reading through your advice here...
Was wondering why you both think 18 hubs is a "bunch of hubs." Not judging your opinions - you're entitled to them - but I have published MANY more than that in a short time and devoted a lot of time to them... Just curious.
I just meant that all of his 22 hubs had been published (I think) in just the past couple of days, and when I responded yesterday, a whole bunch had been published inside of an hour or two. Honestly, that's the only reason I could find for his hubber score being so low at that point. I could be very wrong though.
Thanks for clarifying, Irohner. Like I said, was just wondering.
Interesting discussion, learn clear up a lot of stuff I was wondering about!
I agree with letting people know about you in your profile. As you comment on hubs, and interact as Website Examiner suggested, people will check your profile to find out more about you.
It also helps to follow topics you're interested in and you'll start to find other hubbers that you enjoy reading or interacting with.
The forums can be a great place to learn, and I agree with lrohner about being yourself and being genuine.
Yeah, Irohner has been a real help from day one. I just updated my info and created a few more hubs. Anyway, I know where to go when I need help. Thanks : )

Maybe 100 Hubs within 5 days. It could be a nice boost, especially for any new people.

Can a visitor leave a comment on hubs?
by Karla Iverson 12 years ago
I'm curious about that, and what other hubbers who do write hubs feel about it. I've seen some folks who don't write hubs, but who obviously read in HubPages and comment on hubs, and who participate in the forums with a good heart and a restrained hand. But I've also seen some others who seem to be...

I joined HubPages about a year ago, and I have published at least 50 featured hubs. I only have 4 followers. I would like to find out how to increase my followers. Thanks everyone.
