HubPages Quick Start: The HubChallenge
61What better way to make money fast?
I've joined the HubChallenge to get a quick start at HubPages, and to make money fast.
Don't laugh!
I know it takes time to build an empire! But by making thirty hubs right away, I'll get a great head-start on my goal of making money at HubPages.
I joined this site over a year ago, but didn't make my first hub until last week. Now I've got eight hubs and am determined to make thirty in thirty days.
[Update: I finished my 30 hubs on 11-14-10. I started on 10-19-10.]
...
MANY thanks to the people of this site... the owners, developers, community, and everyone who works hard to make it the wonderful place it is today.
This woman wants to make money on HubPages
I'm here to make money
I'm here at HubPages because I believe there's money to be made. I'm so confident about that, I'm willing to put heart and soul into doing the HubChallenge for the next thirty days so I can get a quick start on making money by writing articles at this site.
When I say, "Make Money Fast" ... I'm not being unrealistic. I know what's involved with making money online as I've been doing it already for years, mainly via Amazon, Squidoo, and my blogs and websites. I also used to own a webdesign business and did SEO and content writing for clients.
I'm not interested in putting out any shabby quality hubs! My work must pass my standards, and I'm kind of tough on myself.
"A Perfect Hub Every Time" should be my motto! I'm trying!
A Declaration of Determination
I hereby declare that I'm determined to make money fast on HubPages. To do this, I've joined the thirty-day HubChallenge - to create within me a habit of Hub building, day by day.

Thanks for your comment! Maybe I can do it again when you get your new computer set up and have recovered from the holidays. Let me know when you start. What I'd really like to do is continue to make one hub daily and then have 365 in a year's time. Also one lens daily... oh, but that's another site! LOL
Good luck, Linda. I will be watching your progress. You've inspired me to at least set a goal for my hubs.
Thanks, Kim! I'm a goal oriented person and was very happy to find the HubChallenge in the forum!
I'm a money making wannabe too, but so far, alas, haven't made all that much, but it is getting there, so maybe in a year I'll hit $100. but I guess the selling hubs make the most, sometimes, maybe. LOL Great hub though.
Bobbi, there's hope for us yet! I will do a combination of commercial and personal-interest hubs. I see some hubs featuring individual products, and will try that, though I also like to compare products. I haven't gotten into that on this site yet.
Hello Linda. I love your phrase 'I know it takes time to build an empire!' & this is why so many become bored when they begin an internet money making activity. Instead of plodding along with their inspirational idea folk don't see money coming in fast so they quit. Your article is an inspiration & I know you will make your income big & steady for all the effort you are inputting right now. & that's surly the way to go! Good luck, I loved your article. Regards Dale
Thanks, Inspired One... I'm in for the long haul because I see the potential of HubPages. Ready to roll!

Linda, I'd probably join the challenge, too, but I'll be gone for a few days when my house is tented and I'll also be getting a new computer which I will have in the shop with my old one getting my files transferred while I'm gone. Then I'll have to get caught up with business even while I'm learning to use a MAC. I think I'd better write Hubs when I can and then try the challenge after Christmas. Keep us posted on your success.
