What's your hub goals for this year?
I've gotten into hubs last year and really love it- as a ghost writer I always have to write what others want, and I'm enjoying writing about what I love for a change! Now that I've passed my 1 yr mark I'm thinking of my lofty goals:
- This year I want to publish 200 hubs (my first year I only published like 98)
- I want to double my fans (I currently have 98)
- I would like someday to get a Hub of the day (how cool would that be?)
- I would like to reach 100K views
- I want to work to keep building my 2nd account for my fiction serials
- earning money wouldn't be bad, lol
What about you?
I wrote 200 Hubs in my first 6 months with HubPages. So the first goal I made was to write 300 for my next 6 months, for a total of 500 within one year.
With the new year just passing, I sat down and made many new goals for myself including getting pregnant and sending everyone a birthday card this year. lol Including the number of articles I should have written for the last of my last 6 month goal, I made a goal of writing 1250 articles by January 1st of next year.
It may sound lofty, but I wanted a challenge. I also have a goal of publishing 2 more books by January. lol Too much?
My original goal for this year was to write one hub per week. We are not even through January and i'm already behind! Life just gets in the way sometimes.
LOL I know how that feels. I have a number in various stages of progress, but I have to put work (the writing that pays the bills) and kids/family as a priority. Still after my first year I see some potential in keeping up w/hubs & I'm motivated
My main goal is to write at least one hub a week and have all of them as well as the ones I've already published stay featured. Another goal is to discover the secret to higher scoring hubs when they're first published so they start off at 85 or above.
That's a great goal! So far all mine are featured and my lowest hubscore hovers at 70-71. I'd like to get it higher but the topic matter is seasonal so traffic will always fluctuate and bring the scores down I think.
My hub goals are the same as last year. I aim to write and publish one hub per week. It is not easy as I work full time, but I did it last year and aim to do so again this year. Alongside that, I want to continue to re-write and refresh my hubs that are older than a year.
Well done for publishing 98 in your first year, that is impressive how do you find the time?
I make my living as a ghostwriter, so I'm always writing. I direct all my non-work writing to hubs these days instead of message boards or chat rooms. I have a lot in my files do draw from (ideas, freewriting, partial completions, unpublished, etc.).

I'm noticing lower than normal CPMs on my hubs. Way lower. Like half or more. Anyone else noticed this?

One thing that motivates me on Hubpages is setting mini-goals for myself. The first one was pretty common, to get my first pay out. Then it was to get the payout monthly, to earn more each successive month, to obtain a 1,000 views per day etc...My current mini-goal is to reach 2,500 views per day,...
