   I had deleted most of my hubs 2 years ago and then stopped writing for a year.  I was hoping to at least have 50 hubs by the end of they year.  I met the 50 mark today.

         So good to hear of others who rise up to higher achievements like #Glenda Motsavage,[Congratulations Glenda ] but then there are those who like you #Venkatachari are happier with going at their own leisurely pace.
         
         The beauty of Hubpages is that  it accommodates all of us, despite the differences.

      That's awesome.  Can I ask how many total views you're up to?  I'm still relatively new here (late July), but I do have 44 articles, and I'd like to hit 50 by the end of this month, if possible.

      Congratulations Linda! I had a 50 lens target on Squidoo in late 2012 and I had up to 43 lenses. Unfortunately, Squidoo's filters kept locking this and locking that, and I just did not have hands beyond updating the old ones. I will try to reach 30 by the end of the year though!
      
      As per SEO is concerned, I have found that updating your titles with numbers give you some pretty good attention and will keep the title unique and free from competition. For example,
      7 Kitchen Tools Every Kitchen Need
      10 Must Need Tools for Your Home
      7 Cool Crafts Ideas for the Family
      
      All the best and I wish for your success!

    I already had hubs but deleted most of them 2 years ago.  I left a few here. In past few months I have done around 30 hubs bringing hub count up to 50.
    
    Now I need to go back and work on some of them, and do some SEO.

    Irie and Bella- My min pin Lucy says Hi!   Earnings, LOL!  My new hubs are only a couple of months old at best.  Some are days old.  I started getting sales in past few months.  Actually, nothing to brag about but earnings have tripled from what they were almost a year ago. Now that I have more hubs, I am curious to see what happens with earnings that are pocket change right now.

    Cool beans!  I've been trying very hard to keep up with the amount of hubs that I am wanting to write.  It seems I get more ideas than I have time.  I'm glad you came back to Hubpages because I think it's a very good place for writing.

       I think I shall do this.  It sure would make it easier.  I'll be doing the grocery shopping, or even sitting in church, and have an idea and then by the time I get home I forget the idea.  Or I'll be working on one hub and have an idea for a second one similar in nation; but, somehow, when I sit down to start it, I lose my thoughts completely.

    thanks neosurk!  Yep those Squidoo filters didn't give you time to write because you were always fighting the filters, locked lenses, etc.  That was a bad joke!!!
    
    I want to go back through them and see where numbers fit or make some changes so that numbers do fit.

    Congratulations Linda. I am just a new hubber. but these messages makes me encouraging and feel awesome to engage with this community.
    I am planning to write 1 hub per week. So i could end up having 20 hubs by the end of 2014 and reach 50 hubs by May 2015.
    I have no earning targets yet and hopefully i will get some in the long run.

    Well done! It must be a great feeling. I too am trying to write 1 hub a week; so far it's going okay (some weeks are more hectic than others), but if I pace myself and stagger the publishing of hubs, it really is doable. I'm enjoying it a lot, and since joining in August am so pleased I signed up to HubPages.

    At one point I had 50 lenses on Squidoo but then life happened and more and more of them got set aside for one reason or another.  Now that I have transferred to Hubpages, I am updating what has published so that they are better than they originally were and have a goal to get the rest either deleted or updated by the end of November.  I can't just delete them because some of them have nuggets that will spin off into new hubs.  All in all, this has been a good change for me.  :0)
