Back to HubPages?

I used to spend quite a lot of time there several years ago and still have an active account, and only recently have decided to publish a new article or two. I was unsure if I wanted to go back. But now that another outlet, read.cash, where I have been writing longer pieces, has pretty much become dead in the water, I still have a desire to write longer pieces and want to have a place to share them. So, I may return to HubPages, and so long as I can access my stuff over on read.cash, may start deleting them there and reposting them on HubPages. It is a bit of work to get that done since the format at HubPages is very different. But they do pay you for your content—not directly, but through their ad program. So, it may be worth my time to see if I can make any new inroads there. Time will tell. By the way, Merry Christmas to everyone.

Thanks for adding this. I wasn't sure if it would be encouraged to provide the link to the site. But glad to see you were able to make it available.

There seems to be some confusion about whether or not posting links to other sites is allowed, so I would like to make it quite clear, once and for...

Same as you, I have an account there because my Squidoo account was moved to HubPages.

Mostly I would say that it is indeed still growing strong, with articles being dfistributed and shared over several platforms. I am still on the fence whether or not I can make any inroads there, but I am willing to give a go. What do I have to lose? Except maybe time.

I hope you have good results on HubPages. I have an account over there and used to post short stories and serialized novellas on the site. Unfortunately, fiction is not much of a moneymaker on HP. In 8 years, I only made a few dollars. Now, I post novellas, or as Kindle calls them, short books on Kindle Vella. Thus far, this has proven to be a much better site for earning with fiction, by far, than HP. In my first month on KV, I made more than double what I've made on HP the entire time I've been there.

Internet sites have rarely ever proved a good place for fiction, unless they are specifically geared to it of course. Glad you found a spot that you can both enjoy writing fiction and make some loot to boot.

Neither have I, technically. In the past month or two though I have added about three articles. I am still on the fence whether going back will be worth it, but I won't ever know if I don't also experiment a bit.

Wow. Been ages since I don't listen to Hubpages. Is this site still active?

It is alive and well and much different than it used to be. May be worth a look if you have some interest.

@porwest I think I ever registered in that place before. I may need to check that site again.

Hopefully you can get one soon. Luckily, these days they are not terribly expensive.
