i decided to tweak my old christmas hubs from last year, update them, etc.
whilst doing that, i thought about starting some new christmas hubs, as i have an eye for what i want to write about and want to snag the URLs early on. i would also like to participate in a 30-day hub challenge when it gets closer to the holidays. my question is, if those hubs have already been begun, even though they are blank for the most part, and unpublished, will they still be eligible for the hubchallenge? i don't want to do anything improper.
thanks!
Absolutely. I can think of several people who used the Hubchallenge as motivation to complete unpublished Hubs.
A bit like myself in the current 60 day challenge. I had loads of hubs started and needed the push to get them written. On the last week of the challenge and most of them are still unwritten because I found new topics to write about.
Cosette, the hub challenges are ideal for pushing you into finishing off started hubs
I can't see why they wouldn't count. Should be cool, but possibly someone brighter than myself will know better. Best of Luck!
i thought that too, but just to be safe, i thought i would ask. thanks for your comment.
I think what matters is the date that you publish not so much when the hub was created. That was my impression.
I think the only ones that have a specific date to be published are the hubmob ones.
During the last 30 in 30 challenge I had a few started and it got me going to get them finished.
thanks Marisa. i am looking forward to writing those christmas hubs
yeah, Izzy. i haven't done a hub challenge in a while, so i thought that would be the perfect opportunity. woohoo...
I agree with the others, however, I would add that Christmas hubs need to go up pretty quickly if you want them to be useful this holiday season. Don't wait. I'm already seeing activity on my Christmas hubs. Some people are already buying Christmas-related items as well. I've had several Amazon sales with Christmas items in August.
i'm so glad you posted that. i was going to ask how soon was too soon but didn't want to overdo it. thanks!

For those of you who haven't been selling online before, you won't believe how things explode during the Christmas selling season. If you don't have some hubs up and ready, I'm afraid you'll feel a little left out. I've done this for over 10 years now, and I remember almost passing out my first...

Have you ever participated in a 30-30 or 100-30 or 500-30 challenge on HUBPAGES?30-100 or 500 hubs in 30 days!!! I see many people getting into such self imposing challenges and coming out victorious. I often think of trying. But before I make a serious effort, I seek your views on it. Is it worth...

Since I finished the apprenticeship, and after umpteen updates and changes made on HP, my traffic has never picked up. I can't remember the last time I saw any more than 40 views a day. My average at the moment is more like 30. The articles I worked long and hard to produce, sit there doing nothing...

I have seen some discussion about using channels here for hubs and honestly, being a newbie I have'nt got that far yet. (this is definitely an earn while I learn experience!) So my question is for those that use the channel feature- what is the best way to go about using them and have you made more...

I started November 11 and completed today at this hour...I just want to share that I enjoyed this challenge a lot and I know I learned and developed something in me while working on it...Thanks to all of those fellow hubbers who showed thier concerns...

Sometimes when I have ideas for hubs, I "start a hub" and sometimes finish it later or just let it sit there for a while. Maybe I should just write down my hub ideas instead. Does it hurt my hub scores or overall hubber score to have those unfinished hubs (often with just titles) sitting...
