HubMob Weekly Topic: Products, Products And More Products!

1. 60

   Ryan Hupferposted 15 years ago

   
   
   This week's HubMob has taken more of a consumer, money-spending, self-indulgent shift, which is totally OK with me. You see, this week's HubMob Topic of Products, Products And More Products! Hub about a product that you love or that other people love is designed to appeal to that inner mall-loving, electronic-buying, web-searching, credit card-swiper that's inside all of us. The thinking is, if you write a Hub about something that you love, then you're most likely also writing a Hub about something that other people love, too, which means that they're probably out there searching for it.
   
   So, with this week's HubMob, you should pick some type of product that you love or that you know that other people love and create a Hub that will inform, educate, entertain and possibly persuade those people who read your Hub and help them decide whether or not the product(s) is for them. These Hubs should have better potential as revenue generators and you'll also find that they're pretty fun to write, too. One good example of a Hub that would be great for this HubMob topic would be the one that Mark wrote on Five Best iPhone Bluetooth headsets.
   
   I was partly inspired to create this HubMob after reading DJ Funktual's Forum post that had him asking why he wasn't getting any revenue-generating traffic on his Hubs. One of the main reasons that many brought up was the fact that he should be writing more about the issues and products that he uses as a DJ as opposed to writing about pure entertainment topics. Hopefully this will be a good way for DJ, as well as other Hubbers, to get a better grasp on creating Hubs that are more revenue-friendly. So, pick some products, do a little research and get to Hubbing!
   
   Oh, and be sure to have some fun.
   
   To join this week's HubMob, please follow the steps below:
   
   1. Come up with an amazing idea to write your Hub on that has something to do with the topic of products that you love. Make the topic your own and feel free to have fun with it, research it or wing it. It's up to you on how you write your HubMob Hub.
   
   2. After you come up with your topic idea, click this link and answer the Request that I entered in for all of you HubMobsters. Feel free to use the tags that I suggested or add a few of your own.
   
   3. Write a an awesomely comprehensive Hub that completely covers your topic idea. Be sure to add an RSS Capsule that includes the RSS feed to the rest of this week's HubMob entries (Link: http://hubpages.com/request/7915/best?rss) and also add one of the HubMob images below to your Hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.
   
   
   
   
   
   4. After you publish your HubMob Hub, reply in this Forum thread with a brief description of what topic idea you wrote about, why you chose it and a link to your newly published contribution to the HubMob. I mean, we all want to see, too!
   
   5. Keep track of your Hub and keep us updated on any traffic that you're getting and post some screenshots if you end up HubMobbing a few search keyword over on Google.
   
   6. Promote the HubMob by sending out this link to your friends, family and complete strangers http://HubPages.com/info/hubmob

      Hey WhoArtNow,
      
      Thanks for the encouragement, I hope that everyone likes this week's topic. It should not only help us all learn to write better product-based Hubs, but it should also be a great time to have these hubs out there on the Web since the shopping season is coming up here very soon.
      
      Feel free to add as many Hubs as you'd like to the HubMob - the more Hubs the better!
      
      Also, I have a crazy idea that I've been thinking about here lately and I think I'm going to try out over the next month or so and it has to do with product based Hubs. If I can get the guts to do it I think that I might be able to do something pretty cool. I'll keep you all updated.

   OKthis is my first attempt at a hubmob thingy I hope  I got it right! I have done a review of Cases for iPod Nano 4G
   Why this particular item?  I didn't do a lot of research but I know the iPod Nano 4G is new so there will be a demand for the accessories for them: the cases are cheap and light - so a perfect item to buy online.
   
   Oh and the rss feed is not working properly: I can see items in the feed in edit mode but once I save and done editing it reverts to no items in this feed message!

            It will be 30 products overviews by the same company and they will all be linked together and will be summarized in one overall Hub at the end. Like I said, might take a little bit of planning, but I think that it will pay off bigtime...especially with the holidays coming up.

    I write a lot of product reviews for my blog. So now that the HubMob topic IS about product reviews I decided to do something a little different. Because that's the kind of rebel I am.
    
    So my "products" are television shows. Specifically, television shows that scientists have found can make people smarter. (And we are talking entertainment shows here not, you know, PBS nature specials). I tried concentrating on the intelligence-boosting aspects of each show rather than writing a critique of the shows themselves.

       That is a really good idea Jerrico, and something people would search for.  I remember back in 2007 I had just moved to this new apartment and my computer got a very ugly virus because I had not had time to install virus software.  I rushed to the store to buy a CD, but then later I learned there was software I could download on the Internet.  Interesting topic.

    Here's my HubMob Hub...and I have more where this came from.
    
    It's on the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger bag, which is the bag of choice out here in San Francisco and I'm guessing(and hoping) it will soon be the bag of choice all over the US and world. Yeah, that would be nice...

    I didn't add the HubMob images, etc. because this is going to be one of a 20-30 part series that I'm experimenting with.

    Here's the first of mine:  http://hubpages.com/hub/Product-Review--Mark-Hookups
    Let me know if this is acceptable, because I don't want it flagged as overly promotional.  I'm going to do more product reviews, on all sorts of products, but want to make sure the format is acceptable (with the links and everything).  Thanks!
