Always fun to participate in a hub contest! I am so IN for this one Simone. I like the idea of having open topics. 30 more hubs can only help a hubber's score and earning potential. Thanks!
Thy gauntlet has been retrieved and your challenge accepted...
I always love a good challenge! Whether i win or lose, i will have fun joining in
I have published my first entry, so no turning back now!
Good luck to all hubbers
I have nothing else to do except to have bed rest because of my accident and an operation ,I will try my best to write at least one hub /day if my health permits,I am in . wish me luck so that at least I can write.
Best of luck to you lotuslove19! And I wish you a super swift recovery!
Frankly, the idea of this terrifies me, LOL. However, I am going to do some research for some excellent subject matter right now!
Those of us that DO NOT live in the States would really appreciate it if you could once again embed the clock on the main page.
Right now I have absolutely no idea what your time is, or whether or not sleep is on my agenda in the next 12 hours - being 9.15pm here.
Thanks
I am very confused also. I am in Australia, Adelaide and think mine is invalid.
I posted it at around 12.30pm on the 1st April.
Does anyone know, if that was the wrong thing to do?
Cheers Skellie
Just check this clock http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-z … ific-time/ (or google Pacific Time) for reference
although I'm a bit confused with the times, when to post etc and being in a different country, I'm still taking part! thanks for the opportunity
I will try my best as I seriously looking ways to get a second revenue from this please advice on how i can view my earnings from hubpages on adsense
I am going to give it a go because I want to see my site doing a lot better than it is! OK, I am off to write the first of 30!
I will try but writing is slow as I'm still recovering from hand surgery. At least I have started and will take it a day at a time.
Good luck to all!
I hope you are not having to struggle too much Pam. So sorry to hear you had to have surgery. I'm sending you a wealth of prayers for rapid healing. If you need help with anything just shoot me an email.

Pam, I didn't realize you had hand surgery! Hope you are not in pain and are well on the road to recovery. Take care.
This is going to be very challenging!! But I'm excited!! I'm going to double my current number of Hubs if I can pull this off!! Let's do it!!
I am definitely in! So, please excuse me, as I have some serious writing to do.
Ok, I'm in and I hope I did this correctly. I may be suicidal by the end but it's a challenge right?
Here's #1
http://hubpages.com/hub/Choosing-a-Just … ght-Choice
I don't believe as a hubber that you need to post the links to your contest hubs--the staff is already doing that--am I right or wrong Simone?
You're totally right, Froggy123. I suggest we keep from the link posting... ^_^
Yes it's fine there
Or were you waiting on confirmation from Simone? I'll just shut up then.
The only place where it's really OK to post challenge-related links is here: http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049
It's also cool to post links to Hubs in the extreme Hub makeover forum section, but otherwise, it's against the rules
Going to give this hub challenge a try. I completed another one a long time ago and definitely saw an increase in income. OK...head down and go! Have a house painting project underway also. Guess it will be a busy month!!!
Are your deadlines based on Pacific Time? If so, I think I got my first one in around 1:00 pm today. Does that disqualify it for the first day, since you started yesterday at 12 noon?
So does that disqualify me for some type of status? Or do I need to write two in one day to keep up?
Goodness me no. There is no 'keeping up'. You just write what you want to when you can.
If you have entered the 30 day challenge, then it's a personal challenge to publish 30 hubs in 30 days.
There are no prizes...there are no rules.
There is the contest running alongside. If you are entering the contest, you need to put 'writingcontest' as tag on your hub.
That might win you some money, the hubchallenge won't, but at the end of 30 days you will hopefully have 30 more hubs that will earn you money in future.
You can even put your link in special Hubchallenge thread. http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/18049
You get a nice dofollow link from that.
So you missed a day. No big deal. If you can't squeeze two into another day, don't worry about it too much either.
Do what you can.
At the end of it, you will wonder what all the fuss is about as you will realise that writing hubs are easy-peasy
Sometimes.
I did not see any place where I can look to the daily results? Where will be the results published as the first day of the contest is over?
I am in both: 'WritingContest' AND 'AprilHubchallenge' and so enthusiast - it is my first participation in a contest here and also my start into writing here - because even I am not a new member I didn't write here till now.
Contest results are here - http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/71729?p … ost1564872
Geesh.. I didn't want to join the challenge because when I did the 30hubs in 30days challenge on my first month, I was sooo stressed out by the last few days. But I keep on coming back to this forum thread. It's really infectious. I'm in!!!!
This is just the challenge I need to get out of my winter slump! I'm in!
Alright: jumping on the AprilHubChallenge and the WritingContest bandwagons. It's my first participation in Hub challenges! Wheeee!
Ooops, just saw this message and today is April 2ND!
I did not publish any Hub yesterday?
If one hub is published per day for 30 days, would become a habit doing so.
The more hubs one create, the better. This contest really encourages to get out there and do something!
I write a lot, and FAST, so this would not be a problem! :-)
It is great, it makes hub pages a lot of money, and as well as the authors a lot of backlinks and exposure!
It is definitely a Win/Win!!
Hey, I'm going to try and do this. I wrote one yesterday and attached the tag WritingContest to it...anything else I need to do? I'm getting a good amount of hits. Not sure if 18 is pretty good or not for one day.
I have been away from hubpages for many months. Now I would be part in this contest as far as possible. Not in the aim of winning but for participation.
Thanks Simone.
I'm in! Don't know if I'm going to make one hub every day but I'm going to try!!
I guess it will be fun to take up this challenge, I'm in. Are there any rules I need to know?
I'd love to take part but i have to write 20 blog articles for a client this month. I don't think I could do both. Maybe next month...
I'm with you! Too busy with other writing projects this month, but I hope to be able to jump in occasionally. Good luck everyone!
Okay friends, till now I have published 15 hubs in three days for Official HubPages Contest 30 Day Challenge for the month of April.
Crikey. One a day? This is throwing down the gauntlet indeed. I'll certainly give it my best shot....
Yay! I'm glad to see so many people taking up the challenge! We can DO this!
I started a few days late but I'm going to try to go for the duration. I'll even try to get a couple extra online within April. Here's my first. It's about a short funny youtube video starring a couple cats and an Ipad. Enjoy.
http://hubpages.com/t/231fd9
Whew!!! So far, so good. I am a writing wild woman!
My mind is in overdrive with ideas.
I often see something that needs correction or clarifying in my hubs, long after they're published. Does a hub get a new date when I make edits? If so, does this disqualify the hub for the 30-day contest?
Nope and nope! We encourage editing, and feel free to update your Hubs as early and often as you like!
Nope. Not gonna muddy the waters! Went back to double-check rules and decided better leave well enough alone--Looking forward to lots of good info I don't have to hunt down!! Have fun! Watching!
BlissfulWriter, thank you so much for the 'after' info. Unfortunately, having to use a Mac temp and can't check word count before pub'g! Needed that after! Couldn't find out how. Thankssomuch
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of adding the tag
AprilHubChallenge to my hubs. If I'm reading everything correctly, this is identical to any other hub challenge in that there is no prize, am I correct?
The only difference is that it's at the same time as a contest.
So what is the AprilHubChallenge tag for? I see it mentioned in a lot of replies, but not in the OP so I'm a bit confused. Because of my confusion, I haven't been adding the tag to my hub challenge hubs. Should I? If so, can I make it retroactive to the hubs I published for the contest as I did join the challenge the same time as I submitted my first hub for the contest, I just didn't put the AprilHubChallenge tag in, just WritingContest.
You're exactly right. The challenge is just a challenge - it just HAPPENS to be running alongside the contest
Feel free to retroactively add the tag to your Hubs if you're participating in the challenge, but don't sweat it- the challenge is whatever you make it out to be!
Ya there's no way I could keep up with this, school, and Track, I'm going to stick with trying to get 2 every week
btw, can you get paid without a paypal account..?
Sorry to say that's not possible at this time
This 30 day challenge has been great so far as it pushed me to write regularly, something I had not done since I finished my first novel.
Unfortunately, (for my hub production only) I have to go to London for 5 days and can't see myself missing out on the world to keep up the hub challenge...so as they say another one bites the dust.
But I'll be back! And good luck to those who are still at it! Great job!
Oh, London beats sitting in front of a computer any day! Just take tons of photos when you're there, and I'm sure you'll come home with a ton of great writing material!
The challenge was pushing me to write too, unfortunately my last Hub pulled too many strings and I think I will pull out. I'll probably still add some Hubs for the contest though, or at least try to.
Yeah, I'm feeling the burn myself, so I understand
I'm glad you'll still be participating in the contest, though!
Wanted to stop by and fill you all in. So far this 30 day challenge, has certainly kept my brain ticking over. What an awesome experience it has been. I did not think in a million year's, it was possible for me to run out of idea's.
I had to go searching for more lol. I have only been with hub pages for 7 months and really am not sure, how i am going. I simply know that i love hub pages and all the wonderful people on here.
During this challenge, i have been running a seven day a week business, chasing my one year old, helping out with our karate club and running a household. I am tired but always liven up, after i hit the publish button
Do you get an official email, that states you are in the challenge? I have not received any communications and am not even sure if i am registered properly. In the challenge or the writing competition.
Either way, i am still writing them and having a ball doing so
Good luck to everyone
Heya skellie! Wow, you're such a champ- all those things, and you're *still* publishing daily! Way to go!
There is no special confirmation when you participate in the challenge, though if you want to be a part of the "official" challenge, add the "aprilhubchallenge" tag to your Hubs. I also recommend adding the "WritingContest" tag and submitting them as contest entries, if you haven't been doing that already
Yep, have added those to my hubs. Not sure if the first couple will count, in the challenge. Overlooked the "aprilhubchallenge" tag, when I first read about the challenge. Have added it since but not sure if it counts.
Having a ball though! Thanks Simone
Cheers Skellie
I can't believe I just found this forum on the Hubpages Challenge and writing contest. I've been in since Day 1 and haven't posted any tags. Still learning the ropes around here.
How do we find out all the other participants?
Good luck to everyone!
Debby
P.S. Some funky error occurs when posting links to other hubs lately.
Where do we send a report?

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!
by Tyler Norwood 14 years ago
I have only been a member of HubPages for 5 weeks, and already I have made close to $1,000. I know that this is not exceptional for some Hubbers, except I only have 13 hubs, I am not an internet marketing guru, and my hubs are not that exceptional or keyword optimized. In fact, the only...

I am willing to write the thirty hubs, but do not have the computer time to manage the challenge. Is there anyone that would take on this role?
