Being a good Hub Page Neighbor

 If you want to make money online you probably have searched for that particular phrase looking for a good method of making money online with some kind of reputable website. Hubpages provides that kind of opportunity thanks to a platform of reward using what is called an affiliate program. In short, Hubpages partners with some of the giants of the Internet to give their writers a serious inroads to quality money making opportunities.

This hub is about being a good hubpages neighbor, so i want to say here that the biggest caution is to not get so caught up in the money that you fail to take advantage of the great opportunity to network with other writers. You can find freelance writers with tons of experience as well as published authors that will sharte their experience as you seek to make your name in the business. You will encounter many writers who will have a niche interest that mirrors yours and can lead to a great discussion and learning oppoirtunity. In short, be a good nieghbor on Hubpages as you would anywhere else.

Writing is one of the basic skills each human being should develop. It is tru not everyone will be a writer in the sense of the majority of the authors here on Hub Pages, but we all need to be able to put our thoughts down in a coherent way. If your writing is such that one cannot read and draw any positive knowledge from it, you are not contributing to the betterment of that reader, which is essence means you are wasting their time. No one likes a time waster, just ask the telemarketer or the universally dreaded door to door salesman or religion hawker.

When we write, we should take the time to think of our subject so we write something worth reading. For instance think of Tolstoy’s work, War and Peace. This masterpiece covers over 1200 pages, but is one of the most famous and best loved pieces of literature in our history. Length is not always the hallmark of a good work. For instance, I read Tom Clancy’s The Bear and The Dragon and at 1,028 pages I felt like “the draggin’” (pun intended) was in the plot in the middle section where the same idea was repeated with no real plot development.

What I am saying is think out your work so you do not bore your reader. Good work will promote your career, making people want more, but a bad article might be your only chance to collect this reader’s eyes. This is a reminder of the saying “you only get once change to make a first impression!”

Many of us here at Hub Pages are amateurs, so our work is relatively immature. We want to be somebody in the world of online writing, but very few start out on top and stay there. Only with time and considerable experience can we become one of the best in this field. Many of us have more passion than experience and talent is something we develop every time we write or read.

Reading is as vital to hub Pages as writing, for if no one reads, why write. Read with charity, as you would wish others to read your work. Sometimes we get distracted and misspell a word that is not caught by the spell checker, or perhaps we inadvertently spell a word correctly but use the wrong version. Be kind in your critiques as we want to encourage others as we wish to be encouraged.

On every article at the bottom is a section where you can rate the article. Take advantage of this opportunity. We all know that the success of things in this world is based on numeric values and the articles are no different. By rating you are providing another source of feedback to the author, which ultimately makes Hub Pages a better site. We all want that as it means Hub Pages will live a long and happy life, pulling us along for the ride.

Everyone loves to see the overall score of their article increase, but this will only happen if it is rated. This is a great opportunity for you to have a direct impact on the success of this online writing site. You are becoming an owner when you participate in this way.

Another opportunity to make Hub Pages better is the option to comment on a hub. When you read an article, at least take a moment to leave a comment. Make sure to leave positive comments, even if there is a criticism you think the author might benefit from, after all no one likes being berated in the expression of their passion.

A good habit is to follow up the comments of others to let them know you cared enough to read their words. You can build relationships and get more page reads when these hubbers share with their friends about your article and attitude.
