I'm Sorry HubPages.

No, truly I am. I'm sorry for ever doubting that it could fulfil my expectations of what a writing site should be. For quite a few months now I have turned my back on the community and the site to see what effect this would have on my writing statistics. I have to say that the outcome has been pretty good. In the time of inactivity views and earnings have remained constant for most of the time. Until the last few weeks that is. Over the last month my views have begun increasing and so have my earnings.

So what is so good about that I hear some say?

It is particularly good because I have been almost completely inactive. The fact that I have continued to make money has allowed me to do some other things leveraging my time and maximising on my efforts.

Do the work once and get paid while you sleep is a powerful statement. Only the internet can provide this. Getting paid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year is what it's all about.

Working for a boss will never give you this. Writing content and blogs will give you this security in these highly volatile times and no job security.

Now is time to start.

Because of the continued income streams that HubPages provides I am here to stay and I am setting goals for myself again. Will it take over my life again in such a consuming way? Wait and see. Below you will see the immediate goals I am setting and I intend to achieve them.

I now want to work hard and I have decided to set a minimum set of targets that I would like to achieve. Consistency is the keyword here if I am to make any headway in the time left in 2013.

Yes a big thank you to HubPages for providing such a brilliant platform for anyone to become successful, whatever you believe success is.

The site is not standing still and is making subtle changes to the way it operates. Nobody likes change for the sake of change. Hub Pages is doing what is necessary from what I can see to consolidate it's position as being the top site for QUALITY CONTENT. My advice is to stick with it, learn and earn.

I'm sorry, please accept my apologies for not trusting in you enough to believe that things would turn around over the longer term. Many feel this way I am sure. The fact is that in these days of instant everything we all expect fast results from everything we do, when, in reality anything worth having is worth waiting for.

I'm glad I waited for things to slowly improve and they are doing. The question is will others do the same ? Only time will tell.

My immediate goal is to achieve the 100.000 view milestone then as follows :-

# Recover my hub score.

# Become active in commenting again.

# Climb the commenter levels.

# Produce 2 quality articles per week.

These are my initial targets and hope that they will be the minimum standard for me to aspire to.
