HubPages Writing Update for September

September Update for HubPages Writing

I've actually done pretty well with my HubPages writing since the last update. There are several I'm not going to link to because they're part of a group of keywords with huge potential and I just want to minimize my competition for them. That said, this doesn't mean that I'm unhappy with these other pages. In fact, now I virtually never write a Hub without doing keyword research first. Say what you want, but as far as earnings go, doing the keyword research is huge and on average the new hubs earn a lot more than the old ones - and my old ones get more traffic and have the strength of age in the search engine rankings that the new ones don't.

That's one thing about being a freelance writing. Whether you like it or not, you have to learn SEO. Especially if you're writing online. This is the new market, and it's not going anywhere.

So onto the update for HubPages: my goal for this month is 30 hubs, which is really reasonable on its own and possibly ridiculously ambitious when I look at my monthly goals. Still, at some point I really need to break out of this rut and go above and beyond, so it's time to hit it.

As for my newest hubs:

Kombucha Tea

Ergonomic Mesh Office Chairs

Basic Outdoors Guide

That's a pretty good trio, and while one was created for linking more than anything, and another is in what turns out to be a really competitive field, all in all I think these hubs will do well enough once they've gotten some backlinks and some time to age.

So the writing continues. One a day is a good pace, especially if you do keyword research and article marketing to promote your hubs. Keep up the good work, and keep moving towards your dreams!
