Top Critical Review

“Terrible editing, terms of agreement”

Frank S.

Terms for paying writers have become a big secret. They now include the right for the site to make money off writer articles elsewhere without paying the writers. Revenue sharing is in steep decline. Junior editors with zero experience hack up articles. Political extremists bombard the site with propaganda. Editorial policies are based on whim. The company is smothering articles with ads to the point where it's damaging ranks in search engines.

I've been on Hubpages since 2012 and have been through some ups and downs with the site but now in 2017 they are definitely on the upswing. I have around 300 articles and make around $8,000 a year. HubPages has survived by focusing on quality and using editors to improve and standardize some of the content. HubPages has a really excellent writing platform which lets you include video, maps, tables and photos. In addition, HubPages has all of the content on one page so that the viewer looking at "10 Kitchen Design Tips" doesn't have to scroll through 10 pages to see the content. HubPages is for dedicated writers who are willing to write excellent, interesting content that beats everything else on the web for that topic. It is not a personal blog or creative writing platform and it does not promise instant success or guaranteed income. However, if you know a lot about something and you know how to write clear explanations or instructions, you probably can use HubPages to build a business.

This is a site that gives a writer an opportunity to expand his/her writing prowess for free on topics of their interest. A writer will have a chance to earn from his articles eventually.

Great website to get free information to almost anything. Great way for inspiring writers get themselves out to the public. Many people blog and link their content to this site

Allows you to create what squidoo calls "Lenses." It awards you experience and levels like a game which unlocks more things for you to add to those lenses. It also puts up google ads and allows you to add an Amazon.com module which will allow you to earn money for yourself or for charity if you promote it properly. You can also view other peoples lenses and maybe learn something new.
