Why Should We Read Your Hub? Ten Ways to Get Us to Come and Come Again
69What is Getting Traffic Really About?
Every website needs traffic and this means that each website owner must learn to increase traffic, and create a website in such a way that they are useful and that people will need to come back and read them again. Or better yet, comment and bookmark them and send them out to the social networking sites.
This is not about making money on the Internet, at least not yet, and making money on online writing website is something that all writers want, but they need to get readers, real honest reader who will take time to read their published works. (or traffic, but for now it's not traffic-- organic or direct- it's readers.) It's the same concept that there is on a blog, you need the reader more than they need you.
But remember publishing a hub is not publishing a blog, and it sometimes does get readers, and better money... you just need one thing: getting the reader to come back. This is about increasing traffic and getting more readers to other different hubs. It is all about building your business.
1) Title is Important, especially when we get millions of emails: Simply put If each person on hubpages puts out a hub or more, most people will get an email sent to them about that hub. It will will include the title a a bit of the text. The title needs to Stand Out. Check on other hubs titles and see who has comments and what works. You'll find that most hubs are interesting and grab the reader as soon as it is read.
A title can make or break your traffic. A good title will stand out, but from personal experience if all your titles are similar it will get lost after a while. To increase traffic when you are writing on multiple topic focus on a Good title.
2) It's not a blog or worst still a tweet:Face it some hubs are similar to blogs or to tweets. It needs to be longer than that. Aim for about 800 words of quality content. The more the better, but no more than say 2,000 words. You hub is a mini-website of sorts, and it has a permanence to it. Your traffic looks upon it as a website, and so do teh search engines.
Blogs are there for a reason, because you can add to it, and get more traffic. Hubs you can't do this and expect more people and make money. Any money for that matter. You need to publish a long hub which make the reader come back again and again.
3) It's not a write a hub and then leave it, it's interactive!: I'll bet most of you don't find my writing all that interesting, until of course you read the comments, I think mainly for the "conversations" that are on it. I try to get people to think about what they like and what is important to them, and I try to return the comment. I am humbled by the support I get and it is only right that I return thecompliment.
Remember if not for your readers you wouldn't be getting traffic here on hubpages or on google or from blogs or anywhere else. Be interactive and proactive in the hubs comment section ask questions in there as well.
The other key is that search engine traffic, needs this as well.
4) Who Are Your Readers? If you can't name ten, that's not good!: Getting and increasing traffic is one thing, but if you want to keep on building on your foundation you need to have regular readers who come and more importantly comment on your work.
You do need to have search engine traffic but at the same time only getting search engine traffic is one way to fail. See, should there be any changes to how the search engines operate you will not be able to count on your traffic remaining high for long.
Knowing your regular readers also establishes a relationship of sorts. Consider it a business relationship if you will it means that these people are your regular customers and you do not want to disappoint them in your drive to increase search engine traffic.

5) If you want people to read more than one of your hubs, link them or mention them: For example one of my hubs is called publishing books 101 and the more advanced publishing a book 202. You'd be surprised at now many people will read one and not the other, so in my publishing a book 202 I mentioned that this was more advanced, and gave the title of the hub before it. No links so readers needed to find it on my profile. There they can find other hubs that might help them. Do series as well these help increase traffic between your hubs. I also try to link one or two of hubs to each of my new hubs, so it gets people going to other hubs.
6) Go to others hubs and begin a conversation: It helps, try it, but make sure you actually read the hub, I try to help people when they make a comment, some come back and ask more some don't but believe me I try. If someone asks a question, yes I respond on that hub. just don't spam. Do the same for others hubs as well.
I'll Read Again... Maybe... Because it was
See results without voting7) Be Useful, with many points: If your hub is short people will read it and comment and not come back, if it's a bit longer and has good points people will come back and reread it. Also break it up, because people need to think between points. Make the points easy to remember, like "I am the very model of a modern major- general" is from the musical by Gilbert and Sullivan, whom Archibald the Asparagus on Veggietales loves. See bet you didn't know that! Make them fun as well.
8) If someone says you have a bad hub, it's nothing personal... it's you hub: Some one will always not like a hub and face it it is better for you to read that there are ways to improve than to think everything is alright. Want to be better? Fix up your hubs and say thanks to that person, Go to their hubs and say thanks for the helpful comment. It's good for all of us.

9) A well written hub takes time... and yes you can save unpublished: You don't need to spit out a hub each day or more. I do, I know, but guess what my hubs are written over the course of several days before I publish them. It's like the publishing industry it takes time. Editing, design, readability, marketing, linking. That alone can take me three days. So when you see a hub with my name on it, it has taken me time to write it. Unlike when I began... back then I would type and publish I don't do this anymore.
10) Readers who come back, will share it, and it might even make you money: yes I understand that for most people publishing a hub is a way to make money, income, have some spending cash. It takes some time, and you need some help. Who? Your readers, they come and come again and this means traffic which leads to money, That does take time but I would be remiss not to add this point. Again if the traffic is slow and steady you will make money, not much but it does add up.
Make it easy for your reader to come back, again and again. Not simply to your new hubs but to older ones as well. Make a few series that you can mention and encourage comments and conversations and answer questions and you'll see some loyal followers. You might also see added benefits as well. To success!

Rebecca E., thanks for having my name in your hub. It's good for business to be linked so closely with someone who has so MANY fans.
I'd just like to add, that going to the websites or blogs of your favorites is also a good way to get them to come back everyone once in awhile....
talfonso-- thanks for the lovely comment, I hope that this will help you
As always, thanks for the insightful tips - I take them to heart!
Robert-- your your success on hubapges.
Very informative! I will definitely use some of your tips. Thanks!
James-- thank you again, and again and again!
With your hubs, I've come back again and again and again and again
sweetiepie1968-- hope this will help you all teh more, good luck on hubpages.
Thanks Rebecca. That makes me feel better. I think I will start reading up more. Thanks for the learning curve!
sweetypie1968-- sometimes at teh beginning you might not know these thigns, but after a while, either by reading someone else's hub or by some other you do figure it out. For teh most part, if the people are new I am more forgiving than if they aren't in terms of comments.
Papa Sez-- welcome and thanks for teh lovely comment. Yes it's hard to get su to come back but once we do....
You hit it on the head with your advice about being polite and responding to the support of other hubbers. I write about controversy and hubs for the underdog. I have had a few really great comments posted, but I didn't respond to each one like you. Honestly, I didn't think I could or that it mattered. I now believe I may have untentionally offended them.
Thanks for the eye-opener!
Awesome hub Rebecca. Great points and nicely illustrated from the attention grabbing title to your point about loyal readers, which you predicted so well (indeed you have a loyal following!) I'd like to join and learn more.
Keep 'em coming.
All the best, Papa Sez
songbyrd100-- yes so do I! hope these tips will help your readership and your traffic.
Great advice and nicely done. I loved the Archie Asparagus line-he is one of my fave Veggietales characters!
Title caught my eye as I skimmed my Hubpages Weekly, so thought I'd check it out. Glad I did! I'll definitely be putting some of these strategies to work in the future. Thanks.
mulitmastery-- see you soon. thanks for the comment.
Very useful information Rebecca... like Arnold Schwarzenegger says "I'll Be Back!"
KoffeeKlatch Gals-- I'm glad you think so, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Yes that is one of the benefits of linking, and it also helps when you comment back on your own hubs.
heather56-- I do hope you willc ome back, of course you can go back and edit your older hubs, but also see what will help you get more traffic, look at your tags and see what is listed as "hot" and keep writing.
stephensaldana-- I think this one is by far my most fun hub, but I have at this point two other who get as much traffic, but it does come in waves. Keep up the good work in writing your hubs and linking them and you'll see traffic.
This has to be one of the most helpful hubs I've ever read. Thank you so much for writing it. I agree, the links are a big help in driving traffic towards other hubs. I kept going back and forth between your hub. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Thanks
Great hub, useful information. Of course, I will read it again and I'm sure I'll use the information to help me write future articles. Thank you.
Great Hub Indeed!!!!!!
The information shared is immensely useful. The hub is bound to get most traffic by being interactive and proactive in the hubs comment section, and asking question, is very useful for the beginners. Thanks a lot.
greysquirrel-- exactly right. that is what you do. Look around and listen but most importantly write hubs.
Really a good hub. Makes me think as a newcomer that this really is a community: You say something, you listen, you look around, and link...
lovelypaper-- thanks for the bookmark I hope it helps.
mother n son-- You can always go back anf fix your older hubs, in fact i try to do that often, and do that to see if it will help traffic. But it takes time and energy. But well worth it
Great advice. One to bookmark.
hi, Rebecca you hub page is very interesting. I have been trying to work on my pages and wondering whats wrong. thanks I'll remember what you say in the next one
MeKenzie-- thanks so much, I try to make them easy because, well it's hard for me otherwise. Keep up the good work on your hubs as well and your success will come.
Great help for us hubbers. :-) Your points are easy to follow and chocked full of good information. Thanks Rebecca for doing another outstanding hub and helping us newbies in the process. Blessings!
p.s. OH I'm learning from you .. so I bookmarked it and rated you up.
treasuresyw-- you are welcome i hope this will help you in your success on hubpages.
Great and informative hub. Thanks for sharing it. Peace
uliveulearn-- of which I have no doubt you will be successful. Gald you liked the mention, least I could do. See you soon!
allpurposeguru-- I hope you do come again, i shall of course be reading your hubs, but a lot might be old, the new thigs are some of my finds I guess you might call it the one step forward comments.
LisaHW--- I suppose I always try to tell people interaction is the key, I can say that my first hubs had 10 or twelve comments, not from lack of trying but the fact that they were short and didn't have much info. So that is also a factor.
I was so shocked, surprised and honored to be mentioned by you in this hub. Thank you. Again, I am impressed with your abundance of knowledge and ease by which you relay it. I have much to learn and you are a great resource. Although I am rather slow to grow in this arena, I am encouraged by you to continue to learn and improve. Bookmarked, of course. You are so right, I will be back.
SciFiReader-- you are welcome I do hope this helps you in your continued success on hubpages.
Monkey13--- you are welcome I am glad this has helped you.
This is a long Hub I will be coming back to. There is too much content in it for me to absorb all at once. You repeat some ideas I have read before, but most of your Hub is new to me. It will serve not only as a source of instruction, but a model of how to write. Thank you very much
Rebecca, needless to say this is excellent advice. I was surprised when I noticed how ongoing discussions in comments move a Hub along.
I've found that HubPages' "advice" that Hubs be unique and informative really matters when it comes to comments. "Unique" tends to inspire comments more than "not-particularly-unique" does. People looking for information are often looking for yet more information, so that helps with comments/questions too.
Thank you for the tips and suggestions. I've just started on Hubpages and am definitely enjoying the experience to date. I have bookmarked this one as it has a lot of useful ideas I think and I will definitely need to read it again. Thanks again and I've now joined the ranks of your legion of followers! :)
This was a great help for me thank u
cupid51-- as far as i know yes a poem of 500 words is alright, actually I'd love to read it. tell me when it is up.
Fastfreata--- thanks so much for that wonderful comment it made my day! not a problem I shall continue of course.
Debby Bruck-- now for time lenght this i am not sure of, but for me, I ususally give it three days before publishing, one to write it, two to edit it, and then check it the next day. Then I publish it.
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for the valuable guidance! As a new comer to the hub pages I have one query, can a poem length be of 500 or more words?
Your hub is worth coming back to and I promise I will, it is so well written and informative, I totally hung onto every word. I will have to bookmark this one for future and continual reference. Thanks for taking the time to put this one together.
Hi Rebecca. This is an exemplary hub because you illustrate what to do using this hub as a model. And the results are in the numerous comments. You've definitely got quite a following. #9 was eye-opening because I thought as a hubber you were required to publish immediately. Now that I know you can begin a hub and work on it a while before publishing I may try that. Is there a time limit between starting a hub and publishing?
I'll be back! LOL
love
Debby
ntweisen-- all teh best on hubpages, and yes these also work wonders on blogs, but it seems to be a bit slower. (at least for me.
jill of alltrades-- you are welcome thanks for teh kind comment, to your continued success on hubpages.
Great tips! I'll have to keep them in mind as I try and promote my Hubs. Thanks.
Wow, I learned a lot here. What a fantastic hub!
Thank you very much for sharing.
adfausa--- all the best in your work on hubapges.
says-- great glad to see another follower, thanks for the comment.
lmmartin-- great to see you here, you are a bright star on hubpages yourself, and I am pleased to see you here, and you are so correct you need to develope the relationships with others and they can be lost so quickly.
lkimball2-- i wish you plenty of success in your journey on hubpages, keep up the good work. I personally write hubs that people can take the hints to help their hubs improve. Otherwise, what is the point?
Fresh Flower-- not something I'd suggest though, I don't think people who read my writing want that! =)
LadyJane1--- thanks so much for this lovely comment, eys you will be a success, I know it.
Fantastic! It's evident you have the writing skills that attract us! I am new to these Hubs but have much to say about our debt. Once figured out, I hope to begin sharing with you all.
Thank you for the wonderful tips. I bookmarked this hub and just became one of your many followers.
An excellent hub, and very true. It's obvious you've worked very hard since you began and have climbed a steep learning curve. Nice to watch. I'd add, read the hubs written by your readers. And answer comments. It amazes me how many hubbers never respond to the comments left for them.
Or don't respond to emails.
Readers are earned one at a time, and should be treasured, just like the merchant building his clientele. Ignoring your readers is arrogant, and will not help you build.
Thank you. I am brand new at this and have been reading a lot. It's nice to see hubs with takeaways and I definitely picked up a few tips from this one.
An extra hint could be that one should put pictures of half naked ladies in the hubs...seems to attract some traffic :)
I am looking forward to reading more and more of your hubs. And I hope I can be as successful as you. Good Job.
PaulaK-- thanks for the excellent comment to your success on hubapges.
How helpful you are! Your hub was extremely informative and enlightening! Thanks!
2patricias-- I think that it is a wonderful way to encourage people to come abck to a hub againa and again nt just the newer ubs but the older ones as well. Yes it does sadden me to see comments made by others, but fromt eh author none.
Here we are, as predicted! Better late than never!
Yet another good Hub. One of your points is that a good Hubber answers comments, and you always do that (so do we). But we are surprised at the number of people who do not reply to comments!
RYPcontent-- you are welcome, and I am glad you found this useful
lovelypaper-- thanks for coming by and commenting, I am glad to read you find it helpful.
Tatto Guy--- yes that was one of my things I found helpful--- reading and responding to each comment. See you soon.
Rebecca,
Thank you for sharing your expertise!
Awsome hub. Great advice. I'm bookmarking it.
I enjoy reading your hubs as you get your reader involved plus like myself you reply to ever comment, lots don't and I think we both know replying is important. Look forward to reading more of your work, your hubs make easy but enjoyable reading !
lctodd1947-- thanks for stopping bya nd reading and commenting, I certainly hope this helps you in as many ways possible.
Rebecca E. This is great encouragement. I have already decided that Hubpages is the best place for me to be right now so I am writing more articles.
The Rope-- thanks for stopping by and commenting I do hope this helps them, let me know!
Rebecca - you did a great job with this hub. Sharing it right now with someone I'm trying to encourage - it will be a big help. Thanks for adding to the great mix of advice and instructions!
Benson Young-- glad to see you back again, and I am happy that this helps you.
RosWebbArt--- thanks so much for coming by and commenting.
Sherbet Penny-- I think we all have done that fromt iem to time, but thanks for stopping by and making a comment again, to your success on hubpages.
Unchained Grace-- i don't use the forums all that much mostly to get info... so to the official annoucement and such.
thanks for telling me how to get someone to come and come again.
wow; intresting hub ; thank you.
Excuse me, that is my comment above, just noticed I wasn't signed in, silly boy.
This is a very straight forward hub of information. I'm new to hub pages and this is exactly what I need to be reading, thank you.
Rebecca, I would probably rack up more followers and traffic by going into the forums, but I checked a few out and I won't be going back. At least not to the ones involving religious beliefs and all that. Way too many baseless attacks and the topic is quickly degenerated into a mess I want no part in.
I see your point, though. It's just I can use that same time to research, develop and tighten up my own work so that it is presented in its best possible light. I have little patience for those with nothing better to do than attack each other's personal beliefs.
pmccray-- you are most welcome, I am pleased you bookmark this hub.... and others.
Informative hub, as usual. Bookmarked again. Thanks so much.
Rose West--- thanks so much for coming and commenting, it means a lot, and I am humbled you think this way.
James-- that was one thing I learned to do better myself, begin conversations.
This is my favorite of your hubs so far! You are inspiring and I really appreciate all the good work that you do!
I agree with so many of the comments, but I'll add this one, you have come a long way dear, and I love how you now comment on each and every comment individually.
Hope Wilbanks-- thanks so much for stopping by and it is so true you can tell a lot by the writing how the person is. When they do tell you that what it is for it's even better, but harder in a way as well.
Peter Dickinson--thanks so much for your bookmark and comment!
Great hub, full of valid points. The writer's style, tone of voice, and level of activity are all things that attract me to following and reading more. You can almost always tell which Hubbers are genuine, and which are just here trying to make a quick buck off somebody else. ;)
You have a wonderful way of pulling all the relevant information into one place. Thank you. I will definitely bookmark this one.
Loriamoore-- glad you stopped by and commented thanks so much.
J Beadle--yes, read it again, and I will be over to your hubs shortly. just keep your chin up you will make some money...
Cameciob--- now what I've read says no they do not pay for traffic, they pay if someone pays on a click, of course the payment can be from 0-$20 but it depends on the ad. Also you'll need to remember the two important rules, never click on your own ad and never ask others to as well.
Good info, as always.
Man that IS a lot of comments! You must be right. I don't mind making money but I'm not making any here. I'd better go up and read this again. And yes, I did read it the first time!!! I definitely want readers and to draw more readers. But it is a vanity thing.
Hi Rebecca, again your hub has lots of information to think about. I do have a question: does Google adsense pays for traffic too?
juneaukid-- hello glad to see you! yes delete the ones that drag you down, but of course give the new ones time to get the traffic =) A fine balance is what is needed. But I know you can do it.
Thanks Rebecca E--you have made some very good points for all of us to follow. In fact, weeks ago you suggested deleting hubs that don't get traffic and every time I go over 50 hubs I delete back to 50 until I've deleted the 5 or 6 with weak traffic. Then finally, I'll continue beyond 50 hubs.
Wayne-- I have a lot of improvement don't I, but with hubbers who take teh time to point out how i can improve i will, thanks so much for the comment I'll keep working on it.
Springboard-- yes we want customers and more of these. I can expect so many people coming and commenting, and helping me out that this is the least I can do. You have great hubs as well, which are a fun easy read. Off to them I go!
hypnodude-- you are most welcomed. I can expect a lot from you my way of saying thanks.
Mystique1957-- You got me! =) The thing I can say is that I've learned from my worst mistakes thanks to TonyMac04 for that one.
Laura in Denver-- yes that is true it takes time and effort, but we all get better at it... I hope.
Karen Banes-- one thing I noticed is that when I mention each comment one at a time it makes me feel better than just one long comment. I am sure it make other hubbers feel good as well. It's a community thing.
PegCole17--- this is true it's not yet, and it does take time and effort. Never give up and try to improve and it will come.
alekhouse-- you do most, I know from your hubs, and tehy are excellent. To your success and even more of it!
Tammy Lochmann-- I am pleased to see you here, and glad that you do come back time and again. Bravo about the writing job, it will be the start of many! Hope to read more on that front!
Its Angel-- you can change the titles, but not teh web address so there is that, but good luck and to your success on hubpages.
Lily Rose-- as always thanks for stopping by and commenting I do value your comments.
Jonathan Douglas--- thanks I am humbled you think this way, to your success on hubpages.
RiaMorrison-- you got my attention by commenting, now off to your hubs... as soon as I'm done commenting of course.
Pamela99--- I hope this helps you in many ways not just on hub pages.
tonymac04--- actually I figured you'd be by, but I didn't think so soon! thanks for sottping by and making a comment.
hypnodude-- thanks and many thanks I can count on you!
hello, hello,-- you and me both design is hard to do at the but when you get "it" right it looks great.
Unchained Grace--- I am sorry Id idn't mention was thinking of you though, but I do love the ministry you do, it is a wonderful way to help your community.
Violet Sun--- thanks for reading and taking teh time to comment, and yes I try to make the titles good I only have one shot at it.
These are all great ideas that lead to repeat readers. The best way to get tons of traffic from other hubbers is to be active in the forums, read other hubbers hubs and leave comments. None of which will ever produce any money.
Your hubs are well produced to attract many of the other hubbers. I would suggest, you take a little more time editing your hubs. You have many errors of grammar, and tons of incomplete sentences. A well written hub lends credence and authority to your advice.
I think of every hub or every blog I write as a lesson in hubbing or blogging. It's something that gets improved upon every time you do it. I like your slant on the writing part too. There's been a good many hubs I've read that only focused on the money, the SEO, the keywords and tagging, and even went on to say that repeat readers aren't important. I disagree. Repeat readers are what it's all about. Knowing you're going to hit that PUBLISH button, and someone is going to want to come in and see what else you have to say.
If you focus on getting it all down on paper well and good, and you keep it interesting and well thought out, people will trust that time spent reading your hub or your blog—or your novel for that matter—will not meet with a feeling of disappointment once they read the last line.
I liken it to windowshoppers vs. customers. It's great to have a business on a busy street with lots of eyes gawking through the windows at the goods you have inside, but if no one comes through the door and walks out with a bag in their hands, you have no business at all.
In this case, traffic's fine. But I want that traffic to turn into readers.
I forgot to say thanks for mentioning me, which is a honor. You'll have a lot of work answering all these comments, I guess it has something to do with all those good advices you always give to your readers. :) I'm very happy for this.
Confess, Becca: you've been adding some hocus pocus to your hubs! What am I missing in the formula? Hmm... Ah! Yes, is it mandrake powder? Nah! Mandrake is too overrated. Perhaps, a pinch of Sioux look out's holy sand? Nope. You are a natural sorceress. Thank you for writing such helpful hubs. 2 thumbs up! Warm regards!
Thank you. Ways to imporve become more apparent as you go along. ;-) Not pro all at once.
Good advice as always. The interaction is key. I came to hubpages never having blogged, and only having written for 'static' sites with no interaction. I didn't understand the importance of comments and replying to them. I just thought 'ooh that's nice somebody left a comment!' Now I am trying to reply to new comments and keep the 'conversation' going.
Rebecca E, I'm refreshed by what you've said, "This is not about making money, at least not yet". Of course as writers we hope one day to make it big. To each of us that may mean something entirely different - not exclusively money, which seems to drive quite a few. It is the acceptance of our ideas, our life experiences (wisdom?) or just the recognition by others that we have a talent for the written word.
I love it here at Hub where the comments are, as you've said, the interesting part. We learn, we grow and we feel like maybe one or more people can get something out of what we've experienced. What a great place. What a great hub!
Good list. The one thing that stands out to me that I do not do enough of is: link to my other hubs. Thanks for reminding me.
You knew I'd be here and thanks for mentioning me. I always learn something new from your hubs. I am so grateful you are here and a supportive member of HP. I have learned a lot from you in particular and the way you always answer your comments.
Yesterday I got an offer to write an article for Working Nurse online magazine for April. Not a major publication but they are giving me a chance and pay too. All the hard work you put in here will eventually pay off.
Thanks again!....Tammy
This is a great hub and I see myself in it! I always think no one wants to hear what I have to say or I am embarrassed to comment I should comment more, and I need to work on my titles more. thanks!
Thanks for giving us another great hub full of relevant tips to bookmark!
Thanks -great hub for a novice like me on hub pages. But I know you are one to follow. Keep going!
My readership isn't that great at the moment, but that's partially because for a long time on Hubpages, I didn't write anything, reply to anything, or link around. I've started following tips from this Hub and others lately, and I've noticed more people reading me, more people following me, and best of all more inspiration to write other Hubs!
Rebecca, Very good hub., I always learn new things with your hubs and it seems I still have so much to learn. Thanks for your help.
Well, you didn't mention that I would along now, did you! But here I am anyway. Thanks so much for theswe useful tips. One thing you didn't mention is the Bookmarking facility which I use a lot. When I come across a Hub that I like and want to come back to I bookmark it, as I've done with this one!
Thanks again
Love and peace
Tony
Here I am too! How did you know it? And about dohn? Are you going psychic? Lol.
Well, probably it has much to do with the quality of your hubs, which is always high. I agree with everything you said, and one thing that I noticed here on hubpages is that there are many communities each one with its own features. Our seem very beautiful, full of people ready to help others with advices, comments and so on. I'm just arrived but I felt soon at home. Rated and Stumbled.
I just found out about Digg and I am working hard to upload my hubs. Also about a better lay-out and I am going over my hubs to do it. Thank you for another very interesting read and very good tips.
Well, I'm not any of the above but I'm here, anyway! Rebecca, the title of this Hub is a prime example. It is a challenge. It opens with a challenge. Why should I read your Hub? I'm not sure if I'll make money or not. I really don't care. If I do, it goes to our homeless program. It won't go for my personal use.
The thing for me is the writing and the learning. I will tell you I am very grateful when I see a new follower or perhaps a new comment and new fanmail. It shows me somebody somewhere likes what I write. Since I know how it feels for me, I spend as much time as possible to start cruising to other Hubs. Leaving comments and getting involved. It's a learning experience and I really enjoy learning new things. Thanks!!
Rebecca: The title of your Hub grabbed my attention in the midst of dozens of emails in my mailbox, so your point about writing an attention getting title worked for me. :)
Read Dohn's comments and I agree with him, this is funtastic community!
dohn121-- I should have also said you'd be one of the first to comment, followed closely by juneaukid, and then hmm, hypnodude, and ahh, more people =)
This community is awesome and a lot of fun, and it is totally worth the time and effort. thanks for the comment dohn, as my favorite simpsons character would say "thank you come again!"
You must have a crystal ball by your PC, Rebecca, because here I am! I actually began laughing when you made mention of me as one of the people you predicted that would be commenting! What can I say about this hub except that you're right about everything. Isn't it great that we have such a fantastic, funtastic community here? Awesome.

Duchess-- it's so true going to a hub or a website once in a while does mean that people will come back to see what you are up to, and you've got some great hubs to read!
